spectre-fix-core

spectre-fix-core is a skill for Claude Code from joenandez/spectre. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,069 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An internal repair workflow for a Spectre bug-fixing process. It investigates a failure, traces its cause and affected behavior, and supports a verified repair using a failing test followed by a passing implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it only through the specified Spectre parent workflows to diagnose a bug, trace its impact, implement an approved repair, and verify the result.
Why use it?
It helps connect an error to its actual cause and prevents a fix from being made without reproducing and verifying the behavior.

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

spectre-fix-core 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.

Purpose

Own one reusable bug flow: reproduce the failure, ground the root cause and behavioral blast radius, then implement a verified RED-before-GREEN repair. Standalone Fix owns the Execute handoff; orchestrated parents supply scope-bound authorization.

Inputs

  • Bug report: error, stack trace, reproduction, and referenced context.
  • PHASE=diagnose | full.
  • full requires PARENT=spectre-delegate, PARENT_AUTHORIZATION={scope.md}, AUTHORIZED_SCOPE_SHA256, and ALIGNMENT_MODE=inferred.
  • --orchestrated — withhold user-facing routing, never content.

Working Set

  • Read affected paths and recent changes just-in-time.
  • Invoking this workflow IS the user's request for subagent investigation: dispatch @spectre_analyst for causal and impact traces. Keep returns compact and in-thread, with no scratch reports.
  • In parent-authorized full, read the scope artifact before any code write.

Outputs + DONE

Experience-contract rows map technical evidence to product behavior: journey/surface | current experience | expected experience | technical path/consumer | disposition=intended-change|preserved-invariant|collateral-change|unresolved | evidence | verification.

  • diagnoseDIAGNOSIS_READY: reproduction, root cause, affected files, candidate repair, evidence-backed experience contract, and regression/invariant opportunities; no code writes.
  • fullFIX_COMPLETE: diagnosis, row-level contract evidence, confirmed RED, implementation, GREEN checks, [🪳 TEMP {TOPIC}] diagnostic logging, changed files, and limitations.

DONE when: root cause is grounded and its hypotheses were traced by dispatched analysts; the product and technical direct blast radius was independently explored after the candidate repair boundary was known; no row is unresolved; for full, authorization is valid, the intended regression is RED→GREEN, affected checks have no attributable failure, and unrelated findings are routed; and the parent receives the result.

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.
