dart: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/dart-downstream-fix/SKILL.md

dart-downstream-fix is a skill for Claude Code from dartsim/dart. It costs 25 tokens per session (690 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.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; positional $N argument; mentions Claude Code.

This is dartsim/dart's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on dart itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dart configures →

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 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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dart-downstream-fix

Use this skill in Codex to run the DART dart-downstream-fix workflow. The editable workflow source lives in .claude/commands/; this file is its generated adapter in the shared .agents/skills/ catalog.

Invocation

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

Treat the text after the skill name 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 3D structure or behavior, route through dart-verify-sim: text oracle plus assessed visual evidence, or a recorded exception.

  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 active DART 6 LTS branch first, then cherry-pick or reapply to main for DART 7:
    • branch: fix/<downstream-project>-<issue-number>-<brief-description>-6-lts
    • add a regression test that reproduces the downstream symptom
    • keep the fix minimal; no unrelated refactors
  6. Run pixi run lint and the relevant tests per docs/ai/verification.md.
  7. Ask for explicit maintainer/user approval before pushing or creating PRs. After approval, create the release-branch PR with the branch-matching DART 6.x release milestone and reference the downstream issue.
  8. Create the matching main PR with milestone DART 7.0; adapt API differences if needed.

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.
