Surgical Patch Skill Security Audit

What the author says it does (original text)

Fix bugs and small behavior changes at the narrowest responsible layer. Use when regression proof, preserved surrounding behavior, and task-relevant tests matter.

Inside this skill

1 instruction sections

The Skill is intended for bug fixes and small behavior changes. It asks the agent to reproduce the failure when economical, or otherwise capture the strongest available evidence.

SKILL.md:8In the instructionsOpen original file
Reproduce failure first when economical; otherwise capture strongest available evidence.

Its workflow traces the symptom to the responsible mechanism, changes only the narrowest owning layer, and explicitly preserves unrelated behavior and existing user changes.

SKILL.md:10In the instructionsOpen original file
- Trace symptom to responsible mechanism.- Change narrowest layer that owns incorrect behavior.- Preserve unrelated behavior and user changes.- Avoid cleanup, renaming, and abstraction outside fix.

It limits unrelated refactoring and test scope, then requires focused verification and the nearest affected gate, stopping once the defect is fixed and regression proof passes.

SKILL.md:13In the instructionsOpen original file
- Preserve unrelated behavior and user changes.- Avoid cleanup, renaming, and abstraction outside fix.- Add only regression proof relevant to task.Run focused proof plus nearest affected gate. Stop when failure is fixed and regression proof passes.

The interface prompt only asks the agent to use the Skill for a narrow, verified fix; the provided implementation contains no installation steps, scripts, network operations, or credential-handling instructions.
