patch-discipline

patch-discipline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from D-Robotics/moss. It costs 26 tokens per session (238 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-change procedure for the moss repository that requires reading the real source, making a small patch, and checking the result with builds and tests. A regression test is a test that prevents a fixed bug from returning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying moss code, adding tools, handling subprocesses, or fixing bugs that need a verified patch.
Why use it?
It reduces accidental refactors, false success messages, unsafe process handling, and changes that have not been verified. Bug fixes must show a failing test before the fix and a passing test afterward.

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-discipline scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 23d 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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

What it actually says

Patch discipline for moss

  1. Read the real source before editing. Never guess behavior from file names.
  2. Make the minimal change that fixes the problem. Match surrounding style; do not refactor neighbors in the same patch.
  3. Every user-facing success message must come from a real probe, exit code, or post-condition — never a fixed string.
  4. All subprocesses go through runProcess / spawnProcess from src/utils/run-process.ts; tool paths must not use execFileSync/execSync.
  5. New tools must declare metadata.sideEffectClass (readonly vs mutating drives approval).
  6. After a logic change: npm run build then run the touched spec (npm run test:filter -- --filter <module>). A bug fix needs a red-then-green regression spec.
  7. Errors crossing tool/provider/CLI boundaries become MossError with the original cause preserved.
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.

patch-discipline is a skill published in the GitHub repository D-Robotics/moss (143 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 238 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-01.
