fix-issues

A workflow guide for fixing software problems in a repository, including bugs, failed tests, build errors, runtime errors, and dependency issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate an issue, reproduce or narrow down a failure, make a small code change, and confirm that the relevant tests or checks pass.
Why use it?
It keeps fixes focused on the reported problem and requires checking the failure and verifying the change. This reduces guesswork and avoids unrelated edits.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-issues 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.

Fix Issues

Overview

Use this skill to turn an issue report or failure into a verified code change. Keep the fix narrow, evidence-driven, and aligned with the repository's existing tooling and style.

Workflow

  1. Capture the issue source:

    • Read the exact user request, linked issue, stack trace, failing command, PR comment, or CI log before editing.
    • If the issue points to GitHub and tools are available, inspect the issue, PR, checks, or review thread before inferring requirements.
    • If the referenced source is unavailable and guessing would risk the wrong fix, ask one concise blocking question.
  2. Inspect the repository:

    • Check git status --short first and preserve unrelated user changes.
    • Read the closest README, build files, package manifests, test configuration, and affected source files.
    • Prefer fast searches with rg and inspect call sites before deciding where to patch.
  3. Reproduce or localize the failure:

    • Run the narrowest relevant test, build, linter, script, or command first.
    • Capture the exact failing assertion, exception, compiler error, or behavior.
    • If the failure cannot be reproduced locally, create or update a focused test that encodes the reported behavior when practical.
  4. Diagnose the root cause:

    • Trace from the observed failure to the responsible code path, data shape, version, configuration, or contract mismatch.
    • Prefer a fix that addresses the cause rather than hiding symptoms.
    • Note any assumption that is not proven by code, tests, or logs.
  5. Implement the smallest durable change:

    • Follow local patterns and helper APIs instead of introducing new abstractions.
    • Avoid broad refactors, formatting churn, dependency upgrades, and public API changes unless the issue requires them.
    • Add or adjust tests when the bug is behavioral, regression-prone, or not already covered.
  6. Verify:

    • Re-run the original failing command or closest equivalent.
    • Run broader relevant validation when the change touches shared behavior, build logic, dependencies, or user-facing workflows.
    • If validation cannot run, state the command attempted, the blocker, and the residual risk.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

fix-issues is a skill published in the GitHub repository Heapy/kortex (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 795 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
