arn-code-report

A diagnostic and issue-reporting helper for problems in Arness Code, the development workflow this add-on belongs to. It examines Arness configuration and behavior without reading the project’s business code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose Arness Code failures, run its health check, and file a problem report with the Arness plugin project.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether a workflow problem comes from Arness Code and prepares the information needed to report it.

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

arn-code-report 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Arness Code Report

Report an Arness Code workflow issue by running a diagnostic and filing a GitHub issue on the Arness plugin repository. The arn-code-doctor agent analyzes Arness Code configuration and behavior — it never reads project source code or business logic. Supports cross-plugin smart routing — detects if the issue belongs to Spark or Infra and suggests the right report skill.

Workflow

Step 0: Smart Routing

Before gathering details, check if the issue might belong to another plugin:

  1. Read ## Arness from the project's CLAUDE.md.
  2. If the user has already described the issue (e.g., in their initial message), scan for keyword signals:
    • Spark keywords: "discover", "prototype", "greenfield", "stress test", "naming", "brainstorming", "feature extract", "visual sketch", "use cases", "scaffold", "spike"
    • Infra keywords: "deploy", "Dockerfile", "container", "IaC", "terraform", "pipeline", "CI/CD", "environment", "secrets", "monitor", "infrastructure", "verify", "cleanup"
  3. If Spark signals detected and Spark fields exist in ## Arness: suggest "This sounds like an Arness Spark issue. Run /arn-spark-report instead, or confirm this is a Code issue."
  4. If Infra signals detected and Infra fields exist in ## Arness: suggest "This sounds like an Arness Infra issue. Run /arn-infra-report instead, or confirm this is a Code issue."
  5. If no signals or user confirms it's a Code issue: proceed to Step 1.

Step 1: Explain the Process

Inform the user:

"I'll help you report a Arness workflow issue. Here's how this works:

  1. You describe what happened — which skill you used and what went wrong
  2. I'll run a diagnostic that checks Arness's configuration and expected behavior (I won't read your project code)
  3. You'll review the issue report before it's submitted
  4. The issue gets filed on the Arness plugin repository for the maintainers

Your project code and business logic are never included in the report."

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
