dart-downstream-fix

dart-downstream-fix is a skill for Claude Code from dartsim/dart. It costs 25 tokens per session (701 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-2-Clause.

A guided workflow for fixing DART bugs reported by projects such as gz-physics, Gazebo, or gz-sim. DART is a library for simulating rigid-body physics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study reproduction steps, logs, and stack traces; locate related validation code; choose the correct release branch; implement the fix; and verify simulation-dependent behavior.
Why use it?
It provides a defined path from a downstream report to the responsible DART API or component, while requiring a focused fix and a regression test. A regression test is an automated check that prevents the same bug from returning.

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 10d 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.

dart-downstream-fix

Use this skill to run the DART dart-downstream-fix workflow. The editable workflow source lives in .claude/commands/; this generated skill is its entrypoint for Codex and Muse.

Invocation

  • Claude Code: /dart-downstream-fix <arguments>
  • Codex: $dart-downstream-fix <arguments>
  • Muse: /dart-downstream-fix <arguments>

Treat the text after the skill name, or the user's request when the skill is loaded on demand, as $ARGUMENTS. When the workflow references $1, $2, etc., map those to the positional values supplied by the user.

Command Body

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 scene/model structure, simulation, collision/contact, or Filament output, route through dart-verify-sim: establish a text oracle, add assessed claim-tied visual evidence, or document a visual exception when graphics support is unavailable or not applicable.

  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 development branch, main:
    • branch: fix/<downstream-project>-<issue-number>-<brief-description>
    • add a regression test that reproduces the downstream symptom
    • keep the fix minimal; no unrelated refactors
  6. Run pixi run lint and relevant tests; use pixi run test-all when feasible, and run pixi run -e gazebo test-gz when Gazebo/gz-physics compatibility could be affected.
  7. Ask for explicit maintainer/user approval before pushing or creating PRs. After approval, create the PR against main with the milestone resolved from the target branch's docs/onboarding/release-management.md, and reference the downstream issue.
