hotfix

hotfix is a skill for Claude Code from rfxlamia/pocketto. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,022 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A lightweight workflow for making small or medium-sized code changes. It captures the request, writes a short plan, has another agent review that plan, and then guides implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for clearly defined fixes or modest changes, such as updating an existing feature or adding a small export.
Why use it?
It adds a quick accuracy check without requiring the longer process used for large or unclear projects.

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

hotfix 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 8d 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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Hotfix

Fast, accurate iteration. Not cowboy coding. Not full superpowers ceremony.

Use this when: Small-to-medium changes where brainstorm → spec → plan → review is overkill. Use pocket-grinding instead when: New system, architectural decision, unclear/contested requirements, or work spanning many files/phases. (A small, clearly-specified feature addition — e.g. a zoom button or CSV export — stays here in hotfix; "it's a feature" alone is not a reason to escalate.)


The 5-Step Flow

Step 1: Capture intent Restate the goal in 1-2 sentences. Surface ambiguity now, not after coding. If the requirement is unclear after 1 clarifying question, escalate to superpowers/brainstorming.

Step 2: Write brief plan 3-5 bullets covering: what changes, where, how, and test approach. Load references/plan-format.md to know what a valid plan looks like. Takes 30 seconds. Not a spec. Not a doc. Just bullets.

Step 3: Dispatch subagent reviewer Dispatch a general-purpose subagent to review the brief plan using validate-plan. Load references/reviewer-dispatch.md for the exact dispatch template. This is the anti-self-confidence gate. You do not review your own plan.

Step 4: Fix issues from review

  • CRITICAL → fix before implementing. Non-negotiable.
  • WARNING → fix unless you have explicit reason not to.
  • INFO → apply if easy.
  • Max 3 review iterations → if still CRITICAL after 3 passes, surface to user.

Step 5: Implement Execute the reviewed plan. Nothing beyond what the plan says.


Hard Gates

This applies to EVERY task regardless of size, urgency, or who asked. "Simple" changes skip the gate most often and cause the most silent bugs.


Why the Subagent — Not You

You wrote the plan. You are confident in it. That confidence is the problem.

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.
