localize

localize is a skill for Claude Code from jhlee0409/omni-harness-kit. It costs 118 tokens per session (886 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A disciplined method for locating the exact files and symbols affected by a bug, issue, or feature request before editing. It then requires the change to be checked with tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate bugs, failing tests, endpoints, fields, components, or other changes whose correct edit location is not already clear.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork and helps prevent partial fixes by connecting the reported symptom to an evidenced edit target and a passing validation step.

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

localize 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 9d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

localize — localize → edit → validate

Do NOT start editing from the first plausible file. Empirically, a staged localize → repair → validate loop resolves real repository issues at a fraction of the cost of broad autonomous exploration (Agentless, arXiv 2407.01489), and the benchmark contract for "resolved" is a change whose tests pass (SWE-bench, arXiv 2310.06770). This skill enforces that discipline: name the target with evidence, make the minimal edit, then prove it with tests.

1. LOCALIZE — produce the target before editing

From the request, find the exact edit site(s). Do NOT edit in this phase.

  • Extract the concrete signals from the request: error text, stack trace, symptom, endpoint / field / component name, the file it mentions.
  • Search from those signals: grep the error string / symbol; glob the module; read the suspected files. For a symbol you will change, run /harness-kit:blast-radius <symbol> to enumerate everything that depends on it, so the edit scope is known up front (not discovered after a half-fix).
  • If tests exist, use the failing test (or write one that reproduces the symptom) to point at the fault — a failing test IS localization evidence.

Localization artifact (write it down, BLUF):

  • Targets: each file:line + symbol you intend to change, with the evidence that put it there (the grep hit / the failing test / the reference).
  • Impact: the blast-radius set for any changed signature (callsites that must move together).
  • Uncertainty: what you are NOT sure about + the candidate you'd check next. Non-empty is honest; a confident-but-wrong target is the failure mode here.

2. EDIT — minimal, scoped to the target

Make the smallest change that addresses the request at the localized site. Update every callsite the blast-radius set named — do not leave a half-migrated signature. Match the surrounding idioms.

3. VALIDATE — tests gate the change

  • Focused first: run the specific test covering the change (or the reproducer from step 1). It must go from failing → passing.
  • Regression next: run the stack's test command (the repo's detected test_cmd). Report pass/fail counts.
  • Real-run evidence for a "feature works" claim: a real input → real output, not just green unit tests (per the kit's 0.3 No premature done).
  • Record the commands run + outcomes in the handoff / verify artifact.

localize is a skill published in the GitHub repository jhlee0409/omni-harness-kit (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 886 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
