fix-finding

fix-finding is a skill for Codex from vlinx-io/VelaTerm. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,713 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-finding fix workflow investigates a reported security problem, changes the code when needed, and verifies the result. It aims for the smallest change that closes the security weakness while preserving legitimate behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you explicitly want to fix and verify a validated or plausible security finding. It is for inspecting affected code and tests, applying a focused patch, and checking the result.
Why use it?
It prevents fixes that only hide a symptom or break existing functionality. It also distinguishes code that is vulnerable from code that is already safe or not yet proven safe.

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

fix-finding 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 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.

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.

Fix Finding

Objective

Turn a current security finding into a minimal, validated code change. If the code is already safe, prove that and report that no change was needed.

Judge the result in this order:

  1. the current state is correctly classified as vulnerable, already safe, or unproven
  2. any fix completely closes the broken security boundary
  3. legitimate behavior and compatibility are preserved
  4. relevant repository checks pass
  5. the implementation follows repository conventions
  6. the patch contains only the scope necessary for the earlier properties

Never trade an earlier property for a later one. Minimal means the smallest repository-native change that satisfies all earlier properties, not the fewest lines.

Patch Contract

Before editing, inspect the affected implementation, its direct callers, nearby helpers, and relevant existing tests. Establish from repository evidence:

  • the attacker-controlled input and concrete source-to-sink path or broken control
  • the security invariant and narrowest shared enforcement boundary
  • legitimate behavior, APIs, error semantics, and compatibility constraints that must remain
  • the closest existing implementation, validation, and error-handling precedents

Treat the finding as a data-flow and boundary problem, not merely the named input example. Check equivalent encodings, parser forms, aliases, callers, sinks, and every representation or copy of security-sensitive state that could bypass the proposed change. Handle unsafe state explicitly; do not silently accept, truncate, or reinterpret it into another reachable form.

Pre-Patch Investigation

The parent agent owns the patch and independently traces the reported path. Before editing, launch one fresh read-only agent with fork_turns: "none" when delegation is available. If delegation is unavailable, perform the same perspective as a separate pass:

  • Security-boundary and compatibility investigator: Independently trace the source-to-sink path and identify the shared enforcement boundary, affected entry points, alternate representations or lifecycle states, parser and validation-to-use transitions, concrete sibling paths, and source-backed bypass risks. Establish the legitimate workflows and public behavior that must remain, then inspect callers, implementations, optional modes, errors, side effects, repository conventions, existing helpers, and focused validation commands for integration constraints.

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-finding is a skill published in the GitHub repository vlinx-io/VelaTerm (301 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 1,713 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-14.
