fix-llm-artifacts

fix-llm-artifacts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from existential-birds/beagle. It costs 43 tokens per session (3,174 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for finding common quality problems introduced by AI coding agents. It checks tests, unused or leftover code, excessive abstractions, and verbose or unnecessary coding patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review tests for repetition or irrelevant checks, find dead code and unfinished markers, detect over-engineering, and flag unnecessary comments or defensive code.
Why use it?
It helps separate useful application code from agent-generated cruft that makes a codebase harder to maintain or review.

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

fix-llm-artifacts 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 5d 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 — 303 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fix LLM Artifacts

Apply fixes from a previous review-llm-artifacts run with automatic safe/risky classification. If .beagle/llm-artifacts-verification.json exists, skip findings marked false_positive and treat inconclusive like risky fixes (prompt or skip per user).

Usage

Invoke the fix-llm-artifacts skill, optionally passing these flags:

fix-llm-artifacts [--dry-run] [--all] [--category <name>]

Flags:

  • --dry-run - Show what would be fixed without changing files
  • --all - Fix entire codebase (runs review-llm-artifacts --all first if no review JSON)
  • --category <name> - Only fix specific category: tests|dead-code|abstraction|style

Instructions

Hard gates

Sequence matters. Do not apply fixes until each pass condition is satisfied (these steps are not “internal verification”).

  1. Working treegit status --porcelain is empty or a stash was created with message beagle-core: pre-fix-llm-artifacts backup and git stash list shows it. If the user refuses stash/backup, stop or document explicit acceptance of risk in the report before edits.
  2. Review artifact on disk.beagle/llm-artifacts-review.json exists, or --all completed a review-llm-artifacts run that wrote that file. Otherwise stop (no fixes from memory or guesses). 2a. Echo + ID lock (anti-confabulation) — After loading the review (Section 3), echo the finding table (id | category | file:line | description) from the parsed JSON and record the exact id set as the locked id set. You fix only findings in this set; never fix a finding inferred from the branch name, directory, or memory. Every fix you apply or skip maps 1:1 to a locked id. See the review-verification-protocol skill → Anti-confabulation (gate 0). 2b. Per-fix existence precondition — Before editing for any finding, confirm (i) its id is in the locked set, and (ii) the cited file exists and the cited code is actually present at file:line (read it now). If the file or code is absent, do not edit — the finding is stale or confabulated; mark it skipped with a reason and move on. Never create or rewrite a file to match a finding.
  3. Stale review — If jq -r '.git_head' .beagle/llm-artifacts-review.jsongit rev-parse HEAD, prompt to re-run review. y → re-run review, then continue. nabort the fix pass (do not apply fixes against stale findings).
  4. Verification overlay — If .beagle/llm-artifacts-verification.json exists, it must parse; build exclude/inconclusive sets before partitioning (Section 4). On parse failure, stop and report the error.
  5. Risky fixes — No code_removal, logic_change, mock_boundary, abstraction_change, or test_refactor work without the interactive choice in Section 6 (or s to skip all remaining risky items).

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.
