dart-downstream-fix

dart-downstream-fix is a command for Claude Code from dartsim/dart. It costs 13 tokens per session (508 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-2-Clause.

A guided workflow for fixing DART bugs that appear in Gazebo-related projects. DART is a software library for simulating rigid-body physics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate downstream bug reports, inspect logs and stack traces, make a small fix, test simulation behavior, and apply the fix to supported DART branches.
Why use it?
It helps trace crashes, failed checks, invalid numbers, missing input checks, and performance regressions back to the responsible DART code. It also requires a regression test so the downstream problem can be reproduced in the future.

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-downstream-fix 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 2d 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

Fix downstream-reported DART issue: $ARGUMENTS

Required Reading

@AGENTS.md @docs/onboarding/contributing.md @docs/onboarding/ci-cd.md

When To Use

Use for downstream issues in gz-physics, Gazebo, or gz-sim that trace back to DART behavior: crashes, assertions, NaN/Inf propagation, missing validation, or DART performance regressions.

Workflow

If the downstream symptom depends on 3D structure or behavior, route through dart-verify-sim: text oracle plus assessed visual evidence, or a recorded exception.

  1. Read the downstream issue, logs, stack traces, and reproduction steps.
  2. Identify the DART API, component, and invalid usage pattern involved.
  3. Search for related validation and recovery patterns in DART.
  4. Plan the smallest fix and the regression test location.
  5. Decide whether the bug applies to the active release line. For applicable bug fixes, implement on the active DART 6 LTS branch first, then cherry-pick or reapply to main for DART 7:
    • branch: fix/<downstream-project>-<issue-number>-<brief-description>-6-lts
    • add a regression test that reproduces the downstream symptom
    • keep the fix minimal; no unrelated refactors
  6. Run pixi run lint and the relevant tests per docs/ai/verification.md.
  7. Ask for explicit maintainer/user approval before pushing or creating PRs. After approval, create the release-branch PR with the branch-matching DART 6.x release milestone and reference the downstream issue.
  8. Create the matching main PR with milestone DART 7.0; adapt API differences if needed.

Release-Line Differences

  • DART 7 commonly uses DART_WARN() and <dart/all.hpp>.
  • DART 6 LTS may use dtwarn << ..., <dart/dart.hpp>, and older test CMake patterns.

Output

  • Root cause and fix summary
  • Main PR URL and release PR URL, if applicable
  • Tests run and CI status
  • Link back to the downstream issue

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.

dart-downstream-fix is a command published in the GitHub repository dartsim/dart (1,201 stars, last pushed today), licensed BSD-2-Clause. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 508 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
