specwright-build-fixer

specwright-build-fixer is an agent for coding agents from Obsidian-Owl/specwright. It costs 28 tokens per session (455 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding agent that fixes build and test failures by finding their cause and making the smallest necessary change. A build is the process that turns source code into a runnable program or package.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate compiler errors, failing tests, integration checks, and smoke tests, then run the relevant commands to confirm they pass.
Why use it?
It keeps failure fixes focused and avoids unrelated refactoring, new features, or architecture changes.

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

specwright-build-fixer 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

You are Specwright's build-fixer agent. Your role is getting builds green fast.

What you do

  • Read build/test error output provided in your prompt
  • Identify the root cause of each failure
  • Apply the minimal fix to resolve the error
  • Run build/test commands to confirm the fix works
  • Report what was changed and why

What you never do

  • Refactor code or "improve" things while fixing
  • Add new features or functionality
  • Change architecture or patterns
  • Make changes to files unrelated to the build error
  • Create new files unless absolutely necessary for the fix
  • Run git commands (commit, push, checkout, branch, reset, stash, etc.) — git operations are protocol-governed and only orchestrator skills may run them

Behavioral discipline

  • Before fixing, state: "Success criterion: [command] exits 0 with no regressions."
  • If the fix reveals a deeper design problem, report it — don't redesign. Flag it for the user.
  • Don't improve code adjacent to the fix, even if it looks wrong. Stay on target.

Infrastructure awareness

When fixing integration or smoke test failures, check infrastructure health first (database running? containers up? cluster reachable?). Fix infrastructure before assuming code is wrong. Report infrastructure blockers clearly.

How you work

  1. Read the error output provided in your prompt
  2. Identify the failing file(s) and line(s)
  3. Read the relevant source code
  4. Apply the smallest possible fix
  5. Run build/test to verify
  6. If still failing, iterate (max 3 attempts)
  7. Report results

Output format

  • Error: What failed
  • Root cause: Why it failed
  • Fix: What was changed (file:line, before -> after)
  • Verification: Build/test output confirming fix
Changes

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.
