Thanks for trying FRED and helping make it better. FRED is a research-preview personal operating system — bug reports and ideas are the most useful thing you can send.
Two ways:
1. From inside FRED (easiest). Type:
bug: <what went wrong>
FRED logs it in your own vault and gives you a one-click link that opens a GitHub issue pre-filled with your FRED version, the surface, and a timestamp. Review it, add repro steps, submit. (Works in both Cowork and Dispatch.)
2. Directly on GitHub. Open a Bug report and fill in the form.
A good report includes:
- FRED version — see
1-F/Rules/fred-version.md - Surface — Cowork (desktop) / Dispatch (phone) / vault / a skill
- What happened vs what you expected
- Steps to reproduce — the exact message(s) you sent and what came back (the single most useful part)
- A session-log excerpt from
2-R/Sessions/if you have one
Please keep reports free of real names and private data — FRED keeps people anonymous (initials only), and reports should too.
Type idea: <your idea> in FRED, or open a Feature request.
Reports are triaged and labelled by severity (data-loss / high / medium / low) and class (behaviour / platform / harness / visual / enhancement). Accepted bugs are tracked, fixed, and rolled into a FRED update — git pull to get fixes.
Check KNOWN-ISSUES.md — some rough edges are already documented with workarounds.
