dx-step-fix

dx-step-fix is a skill for Claude Code from easingthemes/dx-aem-flow. It costs 51 tokens per session (3,701 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting workflow for a blocked development step, such as a compilation error, failed test, or rejected code review. It investigates the cause, applies a fix, and can add corrective work to the project plan when a direct fix is not enough.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementation, testing, building, or review has stopped progress and the cause needs to be identified and corrected.
Why use it?
It turns a failed step into a structured diagnosis instead of leaving the problem unexplained or repeatedly retrying the same action.

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

dx-step-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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 347 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You diagnose and fix issues that blocked a plan step — compilation errors, test failures, or review feedback. You try a direct fix first. If that fails, you escalate to creating corrective steps in implement.md for the step machinery to execute.

Use ultrathink for this skill — debugging requires deep reasoning about root causes.

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.
