Bug bash collaboration workspace for engineering teams

Starting promptUse this prompt as a starting point to build your workflow.

Build a self-contained web app for running engineering bug bashes — a space where a team can spin up a testing blitz for a feature they're shipping, invite testers, and track every reported issue to resolution in one place (replacing an ad-hoc mix of Slack, Notion, and Google Docs). Serve it from an HTTP route as a single-page app gated to signed-in members of your space, and identify the current user from the authenticated request identity so the app can enforce who's allowed to do what. All reads and writes go through a small set of JSON API endpoints backed by persistent storage (a database plus a place to keep uploaded images). The app should support: A searchable dashboard of all bug bashes, filterable by title and by team, each showing a status of In progress or Done (a bug bash is Done once it has at least one issue and every issue is resolved). Creating a bug bash with a title, an engineering team, project documentation links, a set of test cases (each with a title and a longer description of steps), a link to the feature flag, and a list of invited testers. Let the owner edit all of this later and delete the bug bash (which removes its issues and attachments). A team list the owner picks from — source it from your HR system (I used BambooHR) or just use a fixed list you maintain. Filing issues — any tester can add an issue with a description, a severity (low/medium/high), and an optional screenshot; issues start in a To-do state on a board with To-do / In progress / Done columns. Working issues — the owner can assign an issue to a tester and attach a pull-request link; the owner or the assigned tester can move issues between states (support drag-and-drop between columns). Notifications — when someone is invited, message them (I used a Slack DM, falling back to a post in the bug bash's channel — swap in your team's chat tool); when an issue is marked Done, notify its author that it's resolved. Enforce permissions on the server: only members can file issues, only the owner can assign/edit/delete and add PR links, and only the owner or assignee can change an issue's status. Keep the whole thing production-grade and visually distinctive, and don't publish live until it's been reviewed. Tools used: 3B (webpage + API routes, named volume, SQLite/bun:sqlite), BambooHR API, Slack API (users.lookupByEmail, chat.postMessage)

What this prompt builds

A centralized web app for engineering teams to run bug bash testing sessions. Replaces scattered Slack threads, Notion docs, and spreadsheets with a unified platform where teams create testing blitzes, invite testers, track issues from filing to resolution, and receive automatic notifications when bugs are fixed. Enforces role-based permissions and integrates with HR systems and team chat tools.

The problem

Engineering teams running bug bash testing sessions juggle a chaotic mix of Slack threads, Notion pages, and Google Docs to coordinate testers, track reported issues, and communicate resolutions. This workflow delivers a single collaborative workspace where teams spin up a testing blitz, invite testers, file issues with screenshots and severity levels, assign work, drag issues across To-do/In progress/Done columns, attach pull requests, and automatically notify reporters when their bugs are resolved—all searchable and filterable by team.

Solution and impact

Teams gain a centralized, permission-enforced platform that replaces ad-hoc tools with a structured bug bash process. Testers receive automatic Slack notifications when invited and when their issues are marked done, engineers can filter and search across all bug bashes by team, and issue lifecycle tracking—from filing through assignment to resolution—lives in one auditable place, cutting coordination overhead and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
