Cyberwise Feedback

Cyberwise: reporting a problem

Verified: August 2026 Re-check after a patch: Nothing here depends on a game patch. Re-check the Discord invite and the GitHub URL if either moves.

This is about Cyberwise being wrong, not about a mod being broken. If the game is misbehaving, the topic skills are for that; come here when the notes, a tool, or your own answer let somebody down.

Do the work yourself

They are reporting because they are already stuck. Handing back a form to fill in is asking them to do the diagnosis a second time, by hand.

Run the tool, write the report, then show it to them for approval. The only thing they should have to supply is what they expected to happen - and often they have already said it in the conversation you are reading.

powershellCopy code
tools\New-ProblemReport.ps1 -Summary '<one line, reads like a title>' `
    -Detail '<what happened, their words where possible>' `
    -Expected '<what they thought would happen>' -Area '<skill or tool, or unsure>'

It writes two files: the full report, and a .discord.md trimmed to fit one message. Discord refuses a message over 2000 characters rather than shortening it, so an untrimmed paste does not arrive short - it does not arrive at all.

It collects the version, the branch, whether the checkout has uncommitted changes, how the skills are installed in each agent, PowerShell and Windows versions, and the game patch only if a game root is passed. It never guesses a game path: a default that happens to exist on the wrong machine produces a plausible report about a game nobody was playing.

For anything install-shaped, attach a system profile too (cyberwise-reports) - that is where manager, load order and framework detection live, and duplicating it here is how two implementations come to disagree.

Where it goes

Both routes reach the same person. Offer both and let them pick; if they have no preference, Discord - it is faster and it does not need an account they may not have.

Open the link for them. Do not print a URL and stop. Same rule as every other tool here: if something can be launched, launch it.

You cannot post to Discord for them. What you can do is put a finished message in their hands so the entire job is one paste.

What makes a report actionable

In order of how often each is the thing that was missing:

1. What you expected instead. The single most useful line, and the one people leave out. "It said F3" is a fact; "it said F3 but I rebound that to F7" is a bug report.
2. The exact text, pasted rather than paraphrased. A paraphrased error is a different error.
3. Which version. The tool reads it from the checkout; a hand-installed copy reports unknown, which is itself worth knowing.
4. What you were doing when it happened, in one sentence.
5. Whether it repeats. Once is an anecdote. "Every time, on this file" is a reproduction.

Report yourself honestly

You are frequently the thing that went wrong, and you are writing the report. That is a conflict of interest and it has to be handled explicitly.

• If your own answer was the failure, say so in the report, in the same plain words you would use about somebody else's code. A report that quietly reframes "the assistant asserted something false" as "the documentation could be clearer" wastes the author's time and buries the actual defect.
• Do not upgrade their complaint into something more flattering, or downgrade it into something smaller. Quote them where you can.
• Do not invent reproduction steps. If you do not know what they did, write that you do not know. A confident wrong repro sends the author looking in the wrong file for an afternoon.
• Do not apologise in the report. It is not correspondence; it is evidence.

A correction is the most valuable kind of report

The repo's stated position is that a note which turns out to be wrong is worse than no note. So when the user's own observation contradicts something written here, that is not a minor complaint - it is the report the author most wants.

Say which file and which claim, and what they saw instead. SKILL.md files and references/*.md carry a Verified stamp naming the patch it was checked against; include it, because "true on 2.2, false on 2.31" is a different bug from "never true".

Before you send: privacy

The report is redacted by default - profile path, account name, machine name - and -NoRedact turns that off for local use only.

Three things it cannot decide for them, so ask:

• A mod list is personal data. It discloses interests. Never attach a manifest without asking, and offer -HideNSFW when you do.
• Never attach a save file or a decoded save. They are personal, large, and almost never the evidence anyone needs.
• Read the report back before it goes. It is their words going out under their name, to a stranger on the internet. Show them the text, not a summary of it.

Tools

The repo also ships GitHub issue forms under .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ - a bug report and a "something here is wrong" correction - whose fields are the same ones this skill gathers, so a report written here can be pasted straight in.
