patch-or-fix

patch-or-fix is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from anotherben/claude-harness. It costs 128 tokens per session (6,409 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A post-fix review that uses evidence to decide whether a bug change removes the underlying cause or only hides the visible symptom.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a bug fix to verify the root cause, test the change, and check for related failure paths.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of declaring a bug fixed when the same failure can return. The review tracks evidence, assumptions, boundaries, specialist checks, and the chain of cause and effect.

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-or-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 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.

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.
