autoresearch_fix

A command that repeatedly runs checks such as tests, type checking, linting, and builds, then fixes the reported problems one by one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to address failing tests, type errors, lint errors, or build failures, with an optional safety command that must continue to pass.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual cycle of finding an error, changing code, and running the check again. You can limit which files and error categories it may modify.

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

autoresearch_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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to autoresearch:fix — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Parse Arguments

Extract from $ARGUMENTS:

  • Target: or --target — command that shows errors (e.g., npm test, tsc --noEmit)
  • Scope: or --scope — file globs to modify
  • Guard: or --guard — safety command (must always pass)
  • Iterations: or --iterations — default 20. "unlimited" for unbounded.
  • --from-debug — read handoff.json from previous debug run
  • --category — filter: test, type, lint, build
  • --evals, --evals-interval N, --chain

Setup (if required context missing)

If Target and Scope both missing:

  1. Auto-detect failures: run test suite, type checker, linter, build
  2. Present results via question (single batched call): Q1 (Fix What): "Found [N] test failures, [M] type errors, [K] lint errors. Fix what?" — everything, only tests, only types, only lint Q2 (Guard): "Safety command that must always pass?" — npm test, tsc, npm run build, skip Q3 (Scope): "Which files can I modify?" — suggested globs from error locations + all Q4 (Launch): "Ready?" — fix until zero, fix with limit, cancel If all provided → skip setup. If --from-debug → read handoff.json for scope and findings.

Precondition Checks

Verify: git repo exists, clean working tree, no lock files, no detached HEAD. Fail fast on critical issues.

Establish Baseline (Iteration 0)

  1. Run Target command → count errors (metric = error count, direction = lower_is_better)
  2. Record baseline in TSV
  3. Create output directory: autoresearch/fix-{YYMMDD}-{HHMM}/
  4. TSV header: # metric_direction: lower_is_better\niteration\ttimestamp\terror_type\terror_fixed\tcommit\tmetric\tdelta\tguard\tstatus\tdescription

Iteration Loop (until zero errors or max_iterations)

Phase 1: Review

  • Read results TSV + git log
  • Run Target to get current error list
  • If error count == 0 → exit loop (SUCCESS)

Phase 2: Prioritize

Order: crash/fatal → test failures → type errors → lint → warnings. Within category: easiest first (single-file fixes before cross-file).

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.
