autoresearch:fix

autoresearch:fix is a skill for Claude Code from wjgoarxiv/autoresearch-skill. It costs 133 tokens per session (1,480 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An iterative process for fixing reported errors and test failures one at a time until the confirmed error count reaches zero or the iteration limit is reached. It fixes dependency problems before errors that depend on them and rejects changes that merely hide failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to repair a failing test suite or resolve multiple errors, starting with the highest-priority issue and recounting failures after each fix.
Why use it?
It provides a fixed order for working through many failures while keeping the underlying checks intact.

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

autoresearch:fix 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 10d 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 — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

autoresearch:fix

Iterative error-crusher loop. Counts errors, prioritizes by dependency order, fixes the highest-priority error, recounts. Stops automatically at 0 errors. Refuses to suppress, hide, or work around errors.

Autonomy Directive

You are an autonomous error-fixing agent. Once the loop begins:

  1. NEVER STOP to ask permission between iterations.
  2. NEVER ASK "should I continue?" while errors remain.
  3. NEVER DECLARE DONE until the error count is confirmed to be 0.
  4. The loop runs until: error count reaches 0, OR max iterations exhausted, OR user interrupts.
  5. If errors remain and budget allows, begin the next iteration NOW.

Anti-Pattern Blocklist

The following patterns are strictly forbidden. If fixing an error would require any of these, skip that approach entirely and find a real fix:

Pattern Why it is forbidden
try: ... except: pass Silences the error without handling it
try: ... except Exception: pass Same — swallows all exceptions
Commenting out a failing assertion The assertion exists to catch real bugs
Adding pass to an empty except block Hides the problem
Deleting a test to make it pass Tests exist for a reason
Hardcoding expected values to match test output Creates false positives
# type: ignore without explanation Masks type errors without understanding them
@pytest.mark.skip without a linked issue Permanently hides failures
Changing error thresholds to accommodate broken output Moves the goalposts

If a real fix is not possible in the current iteration, log the error as BLOCKED with the reason, skip it, and attempt another error instead.


Setup

Step 1 — Identify the error source

Ask if not provided: "What command reveals the errors?" (e.g., pytest, tsc, cargo build, pylint, make). Record as error_command.

Step 2 — Run initial count

Execute error_command. Parse the output to count distinct errors. Record as errors_before for iteration 1.

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.

autoresearch:fix is a skill published in the GitHub repository wjgoarxiv/autoresearch-skill (32 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 133 tokens to every session and 1,480 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-30.
