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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00075 | $0.01400 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00700 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00280 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00140 |
Grade A, and why
fix-errors 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
When fixing an unhandled error from the telemetry dashboard, the issue typically contains an error message, a stack trace, hit count, and affected user count.
Approach
1. Do NOT fix at the crash site
The error manifests at a specific line in the stack trace, but the fix almost never belongs there. Fixing at the crash site (e.g., adding a typeof guard in a revive() function, swallowing the error with a try/catch, or returning a fallback value) only masks the real problem. The invalid data still flows through the system and will cause failures elsewhere.
2. Trace the data flow upward through the call stack
Read each frame in the stack trace from bottom to top. For each frame, understand:
- What data is being passed and what is expected
- Where that data originated (IPC message, extension API call, storage, user input, etc.)
- Whether the data could have been corrupted or malformed at that point
The goal is to find the producer of invalid data, not the consumer that crashes on it.
3. When the producer cannot be identified from the stack alone
Sometimes the stack trace only shows the receiving/consuming side (e.g., an IPC server handler). The sending side is in a different process and not in the stack. In this case:
- Enrich the error message at the consuming site with diagnostic context: the type of the invalid data, a truncated representation of its value, and which operation/command received it. This information flows into the error telemetry dashboard automatically via the unhandled error pipeline.
- Do NOT silently swallow the error — let it still throw so it remains visible in telemetry, but with enough context to identify the sender in the next telemetry cycle.
- Consider adding the same enrichment to the low-level validation function that throws (e.g., include the invalid value in the error message) so the telemetry captures it regardless of call site.
4. When the producer IS identifiable
Fix the producer directly:
- Validate or sanitize data before sending it over IPC / storing it / passing it to APIs
- Ensure serialization/deserialization preserves types correctly (e.g., URI objects should serialize as
UriComponentsobjects, not as strings)
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-errors is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/vscode (190,061 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 1,400 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 2026-08-30.
