clawpatch

clawpatch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tmchow/agent-skills. It costs 158 tokens per session (3,515 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for reviewing a code repository and producing structured bug findings, with an option to apply checked fixes. It is used specifically for Clawpatch, an npm-installed tool that requires Node.js and a provider command-line program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running automated repository reviews, locating findings, applying validated per-finding fixes, and rechecking or using review results in continuous integration.
Why use it?
It turns a broad repository review into individual findings that can be located and addressed. Its checks around dirty worktrees help prevent fixes from overwriting uncommitted source changes.

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 C, and why

clawpatch scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Clawpatch — agent workflow

Clawpatch (openclaw/clawpatch, https://clawpatch.ai) is an agent-driven CLI: it reviews a repo into structured findings and can apply validated per-finding fixes. It needs Node.js 22+ and a provider CLI (codex by default); fix refuses dirty source worktrees by default, while review/ci/revalidate can include dirty code when explicitly scoped.

This skill is judgment + orchestration, not a CLI reference. For exact flags, JSON fields, and exit codes, trust clawpatch <cmd> --help and the live --json output over anything written here — Clawpatch is pre-1.0 and its surface drifts, so a written copy will mislead. What this skill carries is what --help can't tell you: when to reach for it, how to fix findings in parallel, and the traps.

When to use

Use Clawpatch when the user names it, or wants whole-repo automated review that yields locatable findings plus optional validated fixes.

Don't use it for: a small diff already under review (a whole-repo review cycle is overkill — use a diff-review tool); a bug the user already understands and just wants written; or when no provider CLI (codex/claude/cursor/grok/ opencode/pi/acpx, or mock for tests) is installed — clawpatch doctor fails fast, so say so and stop.

Setup

clawpatch doctor verifies the install and the provider. The published CLI requires Node.js 22+. If clawpatch is missing, install the current published package (npm install -g [email protected]). The provider (codex by default) is the user's to install and authenticate — don't run login flows on their behalf.

Gitignore .clawpatch/ early to keep status, commits, and PR diffs clean. Clawpatch allows its own state directory to change during runs; fix's dirty guard is for source worktree changes, not .clawpatch/ churn. Add the single line .clawpatch/ before review/fix when the repo doesn't already ignore it, but remember .gitignore is tracked — confirm with the user before editing it.

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.
