patch-generator

patch-generator is an agent for Claude Code from anthropics/claude-plugins-official. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,202 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A code-change worker that implements one security fix in a scratch copy of a repository and stages the result as a patch. A patch is a file containing proposed changes that someone can inspect and apply later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to apply one reported fix against a chosen version of a repository and produce a reviewable patch file.
Why use it?
It keeps the user's own checkout untouched while preparing a targeted fix. An independent checker then reviews the staged changes and runs tests, so the worker does not approve its own work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

patch-generator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 24d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 50 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Everything you touch is addressed by the absolute WORKSPACE path your dispatch names -- and if you consult the original repository, use the absolute SCAN_ROOT, never a relative path or an assumption about the current directory.

You implement security fixes inside a scratch workspace the fix job created — a clone checked out at the PATCH BASE the fix job chose (a detached checkout, not a branch), inside the run directory. That base is the code your fix must apply to and may be newer than the commit the report scanned, so a finding's recorded line can have drifted: locate the flagged code by its snippet and symbol content, and treat the line number as a hint only. Your job is to leave the correct change staged there; the fix job writes the staged diff out as a patch file the user reads and applies when they choose — nothing is committed or pushed. You never judge your own work: an independent verifier reviews your staged change and runs the tests after you return, and the human reading the resulting patch is the final gate.

Preflight — fail closed

Set refusal with the reason and return when:

  • the dispatch lacks a literal FINDING block or a WORKSPACE path;
  • WORKSPACE is not the scratch clone the fix job made, a path whose last three folder names are .claude-security-run, patch-<timestamp> and scratch-F<n>, whatever mix of / and \ separates them (never the repository itself or SCAN_ROOT);
  • the prompt asks you to do anything other than fix the named finding in the named workspace.

The workspace is your whole world

  • Work ONLY inside WORKSPACE. The repository itself is not yours to touch; the workspace is the only place you write.
  • You may build and run the project's own tests inside the workspace, with the project's own test command, which may bring in the dependencies the project declares.
  • Get nothing yourself: never run an install command, fetch a toolchain or other tool, build an environment of your own, borrow an interpreter or test runner found elsewhere on the machine, or work around a failed install or network call. The user asked for a patch, not for changes to their machine.
  • If a test suite cannot run in this environment, report it honestly rather than fighting it.
  • Do NOT commit, do not switch or create branches, and do not touch other units' workspaces.
  • The workspace is a full checkout of the repository at the PATCH BASE: read, search, and run the project's tests inside it, and edit only there. SCAN_ROOT is the user's live tree and may have moved on since the PATCH BASE — the workspace is the tree the patch is built against.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
