Model-drafted feedback: the agent queues bug/idea drafts at high-signal moments; a one-key card lets the person review, send or dismiss

[Hmbown]

Inspiration: Claude Code's feedback drafting. At a high-signal moment the model drafts a report; it is queued locally and nothing is sent. A non-modal card then shows Bug report drafted: <title> with 1 to review · 2 to send · 0 to dismiss.

What already exists on main

• Draft tool. tools/github/report.rs has draft and read, a 32 KB cap, redaction for disclosure, and per-session anchored storage.
• /feedback command. commands/groups/core/feedback.rs handles bug, review and edit, and /feedback with no argument opens feedback_picker.rs.
• Feedback skill. It files with gh, and only after the person approves.
• The gap: a draft only happens when the person types /feedback bug.

Slices

F1. Model-initiated drafting

• The draft tool description names the high-signal moments:
  • a reproducible product failure that was just resolved or abandoned
  • a missing capability that blocked a reasonable request
  • the person clearly frustrated
  • the model's own behavior going wrong: a confident answer later retracted, stopping short, refusing something reasonable, too many questions, or scope creep
• Rules the model must follow:
  • never announce the draft or interrupt the work
  • at most one draft per distinct issue
  • sourced facts only, with the person's words quoted exactly
  • people named by role, never by name or handle
  • no secrets
• Fields: kind (bug | idea | missing_capability), area, failure_mode (for model-behavior reports), task_category, and the details bullets What happened / What the user said / Repro / Evidence / Cause (verified only).
• The queue is capped at 10 drafts per install.

F2. One-key card

• A non-modal card under the transcript shows the title and the first lines.
• Keys: 1 review (opens the draft, which can be edited through the existing /feedback edit), 2 send, 0 dismiss.
• It is rendered on the same "needs you" surface as pending approvals (Approvals program: never lost, never silently decided (child approvals, Full Access, auto-review, grants) #6467), so the app and phone can show it too.
• Keystrokes typed before the card appeared never answer it.

F3. Send, only on the person's keypress

• Product bugs, ideas and missing capabilities: search for duplicates, then gh issue create -R Hmbown/Codewhale. Without gh, open a prefilled issue URL.
• Anything security-shaped: routed to the private advisory form, never a public issue.
• Model-behavior reports (failure_mode set): go to a private intake, not the public tracker. They are prompt and eval data. This needs a founder decision on the endpoint.
• Every send writes a receipt and reports the resulting URL.
