dart: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/dart-backport-pr.md

dart-backport-pr is a command for Claude Code from dartsim/dart. It costs 10 tokens per session (677 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-2-Clause.

A workflow for applying a change from the main branch to a release branch. This process is called backporting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to backport a pull request or commit, inspect equivalent changes, resolve conflicts, run relevant checks, and prepare the release change.
Why use it?
It checks that the original change is merged, avoids applying work twice, and adapts the change when the release branch differs from main.

This is dartsim/dart's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on dart itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dart configures →

About the project

DART is an open-source C++23 physics engine that simulates the movement and interactions of articulated rigid-body systems for robotics, animation, and machine learning. Researchers and developers use it for kinematics, dynamics, collision handling, constraints, and loading robot models, with C++ and Python interfaces. The catalogue add-ons support workflows built around this engine.

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

dart-backport-pr 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 5d 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.

Workflow

For a source change that depends on 3D structure or behavior, use the target branch's dart-verify-sim workflow to preserve the text oracle and assessed visual evidence, or record why the target branch cannot render the claim.

  1. Verify the source PR or commit is merged to main:
    gh pr view <SOURCE_PR> --json state,mergedAt,baseRefName,mergeCommit
    
  2. Check whether an equivalent change already exists on the release branch:
    git fetch origin <RELEASE_BRANCH> main
    git cherry -v --abbrev=40 origin/<RELEASE_BRANCH> origin/main | grep <COMMIT_HASH>
    
  3. For AI-infra or workflow-doc backports, compare the release branch capability inventory and adapter directories against main. If the release branch has a smaller workflow surface, adapt to the release branch instead of importing main-only workflows.
  4. Create a release branch from the release target without resetting an existing local branch:
    BRANCH=backport/<SOURCE_PR>-to-<RELEASE_BRANCH>
    if git show-ref --verify --quiet "refs/heads/$BRANCH"; then
      if [ -n "$(git status --short)" ] || [ "$(git rev-parse "$BRANCH")" \
          != "$(git rev-parse "origin/<RELEASE_BRANCH>")" ]; then
        echo "existing $BRANCH is dirty or diverges from the release tip" >&2
        exit 1  # stop and ask before resetting or cherry-picking onto it
      fi
      git switch "$BRANCH"
    else
      git switch --no-track -c "$BRANCH" origin/<RELEASE_BRANCH>
    fi
    
  5. Cherry-pick with provenance: git cherry-pick -x <COMMIT_HASH>.
  6. Resolve conflicts minimally; stop and ask if conflicts are broad or change behavior.
  7. Run /dart-changelog decide or $dart-changelog decide against the backport diff and release target before opening the backport PR. If an entry is required but needs the backport PR number, draft the decision and keep the finalize/update follow-up local until explicit approval permits another push. Do not skip the changelog decision just because this is a backport.
  8. Run pixi run lint and the smallest relevant release-branch checks.
  9. Ask for explicit maintainer/user approval before pushing or opening the PR. After approval, open the PR against the release branch with milestone matching that release branch and use the PR template.

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.
