ghostpatch

ghostpatch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Sambhram1/Ghostpatch-. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,278 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A supervised workflow for contributing changes to open-source projects hosted on GitHub. It helps an agent find issues, work on them locally, check the changes, and prepare or publish pull requests with approval controls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find suitable GitHub issues, qualify them, implement fixes, run validation commands, review diffs and tests, and handle pull requests or later CI failures.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to manage issue searches, local fixes, tests, forks, pull requests, and follow-up context as separate tasks.

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

ghostpatch 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/ghostpatch.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 200 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ghostpatch

Ghostpatch helps an agent do supervised open-source contribution work end to end.

It can:

  • find GitHub issues worth solving
  • qualify candidates before spending time on them
  • solve locally with Codex, Claude, or a local deterministic agent
  • run validation commands
  • create or reuse your fork for live contribution work
  • prepare or publish issues and PRs with safety checks
  • remember prior PR context for CI failures and maintainer follow-up

The skill is the main interface. The npm package @sambhram06/ghostpatch is the engine behind it.

Who It Is For

Use Ghostpatch when you want:

  • supervised help contributing to open-source repositories
  • a repeatable scan -> review -> solve -> publish workflow
  • explicit autonomous mode only when you ask for it

Requirements

  • Node.js 22 or newer
  • Git
  • GitHub CLI
  • GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN for live GitHub scan and publish
  • Optional: Codex CLI or Claude CLI

Install

Install the skill from skills.sh:

npx skills add https://github.com/Sambhram1/Ghostpatch- --skill ghostpatch

Optional but faster engine install:

npm install -g @sambhram06/ghostpatch

First Run

The shortest successful path is:

ghostpatch setup
ghostpatch scan --live
ghostpatch review

What happens in setup:

  • choose your agent: local, codex, or claude
  • choose languages and repositories
  • choose whether to use GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN
  • validate the token if it is already present
  • save only the variable name, not the token itself

If the skill runner path is needed directly:

node <skill-folder>/scripts/ghostpatch.mjs setup
node <skill-folder>/scripts/ghostpatch.mjs scan --live
node <skill-folder>/scripts/ghostpatch.mjs review

Normal Workflow

Ghostpatch's default workflow is supervised:

  1. scan for candidates
  2. review the ranked opportunities
  3. ask the configured agent to solve locally
  4. run validation
  5. inspect blockers, warnings, and generated drafts
  6. publish only after explicit confirmation

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
