remediate

A skill for replacing test stubs—unfinished or placeholder tests—with working tests, then changing production code when necessary so those tests pass. It follows TDD, a practice of writing a failing test before the code that satisfies it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to remediate named entities in batches, usually starting with a small group of stubs and covering schema, lifecycle, and edge-case behavior over multiple runs.
Why use it?
It turns an incomplete test suite into a structured set of real checks without attempting remediation when no test suite exists.

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

remediate 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 2d 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 — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Entity Test Remediation

Systematically convert test stubs into real tests and fix production code to make them pass. Batch-by-batch, TDD-driven.

Args

/dev-practices-remediate <entity-name-1> [entity-name-2] ...

Entity names (space-separated). Each must already have a test suite. If the suite doesn't exist, the formula STOPS at pre-check.

Hard Gate: Pre-Check

The first atom checks if the entity test suite exists:

STOP: No entity test suite for {entity}.

Create the test surface map with obligations and stubs first.
Remediation requires a surface to remediate against.

This prevents remediation without a surface map -- the whole point of the layered approach.

Batch Sizing

Each molecule handles one batch per entity (recommended 5-15 stubs):

  • Too few stubs per batch = too many molecules
  • Too many = too much context for one session

Multiple runs against the same entity are expected:

/dev-practices-remediate creative    # batch 1: P0 schema compliance stubs
/dev-practices-remediate creative    # batch 2: P1 lifecycle stubs
/dev-practices-remediate creative    # batch 3: P2 edge case stubs

Protocol

Step 1: Cook the molecule

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dev-practices-execute/scripts/cook_formula.py \
  --formula ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dev-practices-execute/formulas/entity-remediate.yaml \
  --var "ENTITY_NAMES={all_args}" \
  --epic-title "Remediate: {all_args}"

Dry run first (recommended):

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dev-practices-execute/scripts/cook_formula.py \
  --formula ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dev-practices-execute/formulas/entity-remediate.yaml \
  --var "ENTITY_NAMES={all_args}" \
  --epic-title "Remediate: {all_args}" \
  --dry-run

Step 2: Walk the molecule

bd ready -> bd show <atom-id> -> execute -> bd close <atom-id> -> repeat

Each entity goes through: pre-check -> plan-batch -> review -> triage -> implement-red -> fix-green -> verify -> commit.

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.

remediate is a skill published in the GitHub repository postindustria-tech/agentic-toolkit (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 1,060 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.
