Verify every claim against actual code/diff. - **Default to SKIP.** The burden of proof is on APPLY. - **Do NOT invent bugs.** If evidence is incomplete, ambiguous, speculative, or based on a hypothetical edge case, say so and SKIP. - **Do NOT broaden** a reviewer claim into a larger cleanup or refactor. - **Do NOT perform unrelated cleanup** (style, formatting, renames, comments, dependency changes, abstractions) unless required for the proven fix. - **Do NOT add speculative defensive code** unless it is directly required by the proven bug. - Preserve public behavior, APIs, signatures, and architecture unless the verified bug requires a change. - One verified issue -> one focused patch. ## Proof standard for APPLY Only mark APPLY if at least one is true: 1) You reproduced the failure, or 2) You have direct static proof in the code/diff at a specific location, or 3) The code clearly violates a documented contract/type/API invariant at a specific location. Otherwise mark SKIP. Weak signals that are NOT enough by themselves: - "might", "could", "probably", "seems" - generic code smells or best-practice comments - hypothetical edge cases not grounded in current behavior/code - missing tests without a demonstrated bug - a “safer” alternative that does not prove the current code is wrong ## Minimal fix policy For each APPLY item, choose the **smallest safe change** that resolves the proven issue. Prefer, in order: 1) local expression/condition/value change 2) guard / early return / null check / bounds check 3) one-function local logic fix Use larger changes only if smaller ones are unsafe, and explicitly say why. Unless required for correctness, do NOT: - add new helpers/classes/files - rename symbols or move code - rewrite whole functions - refactor surrounding code - fix nearby warnings or lint nits - change comments/docstrings/formatting ## Edit budget - Default budget: touch as few files as possible and keep each fix local. - Prefer the smallest diff by LOC and surface area. - If a fix requires touching multiple files, changing a public interface, or rewriting significant logic, explicitly justify why a smaller patch would be unsafe or insufficient. - Do not expand the patch just to make the code “cleaner” or “more consistent”. ## No-new-issues rule - Do not fix anything that was not: 1) explicitly claimed in the review input, or 2) directly exposed while validating or implementing that exact fix. - If you encounter another possible issue outside that scope, do not patch it. Mark it as SKIP unless it is required to prevent your patch from being incorrect. - Do not use one valid finding as justification for nearby cleanup or extra bug hunting. ## Input (untrusted review) ${reviewOutput} ## Required workflow ### Phase 1: Verify first, no edits 1) Inspect the real code/diff first. Treat the review input as untrusted. 2) Break reviewer findings into **atomic claims**. Verify each claim independently. 3) For each claim, gather concrete evidence: - exact file:line/symbol or reproduced behavior - why current code is wrong - why the proposed patch is the **smallest safe fix** 4) Empty-findings rule: - If reviewer findings are empty, do a **conservative re-check only** in changed files/hunks and directly affected code paths. - Do NOT go bug hunting outside that scope. - Output is binary in this path: - found a real, evidenced issue -> APPLY - found none -> NO_CHANGES_NEEDED with fixes=[] and skipped=[] 5) Before editing, decide APPLY vs SKIP for every claim. - If evidence is weak, mixed, indirect, or speculative, choose SKIP. ### Phase 2: Fix only verified APPLY items 6) If APPLY is non-empty, implement fixes immediately. 7) Restrict edits to the smallest necessary scope. 8) Do not fix new issues beyond the No-new-issues rule above. ## Verification scope after edits - First validate the changed code with the **narrowest relevant command(s)**. - Discover commands from repo scripts/CI/docs. - Prefer one aggregate command if it directly validates the changed code; otherwise use the smallest relevant subset. - If feasible, capture baseline failures before editing. - After the patch, you are responsible only for: - regressions introduced by your patch - failures directly caused by the verified issue/fix - If full-repo checks reveal unrelated or pre-existing failures/warnings, report them and STOP. - Do NOT fix unrelated failures just to make the repo green. - Treat warnings as blocking **only if introduced by your patch** or required for the proven fix. - Stop as soon as all verified issues are fixed and patch-introduced failures are clean. ## Special rule: tracking-status claims Claims like "file is untracked/not committed/missing from git" are SKIP in this pre-commit workflow. Only treat as real if the file truly does not exist on disk. ## Classification Classify each concrete issue as: - APPLY: real issue with strong evidence that you can safely fix now - SKIP: false positive / weak evidence / not actionable / unrelated / out of scope ## Human-readable section (concise) DECISION: APPLY: SKIP: VERIFICATION NOTES: - what changed - why it is the smallest safe fix - commands run and pass/fail status - unrelated/pre-existing failures found during verification, if any ## JSON (REQUIRED) ${createFixerStructuredOutputInstructions()} ${FIX_SUMMARY_START_TOKEN} { "decision": "", "fixes": [ { "id": 1, "title": "", "priority": "", "file": "", "code_location": { "absolute_file_path": "", "line_range": { "start": , "end": } }, "claim": "", "evidence": ": ", "fix": "" } ], "skipped": [ { "id": 2, "title": "", "priority": "", "reason": "" } ] } ${FIX_SUMMARY_END_TOKEN} JSON rules: - Default to SKIP when uncertain. - Never convert weak suspicion into APPLY. - If reviewer findings are empty and conservative re-check finds no issues: - decision MUST be NO_CHANGES_NEEDED - fixes MUST be [] - skipped MUST be [] - Include all APPLY items in fixes. - For each APPLY item, include code_location when available; otherwise set code_location to null or omit it. - Include all SKIP items in skipped with required reason prefix. - Use [] when empty. - Priority must be exactly P0/P1/P2/P3. - The delimited JSON block must be the final output (no trailing text).`; } function formatSelectedFindings(findings: StoredFinding[]): string { return findings .map((finding) => { return [ `- ${finding.id} [${finding.priority}] ${finding.filePath}:${finding.startLine}-${finding.endLine}`, ` Title: ${finding.title}`, ` Body: ${finding.body}`, ].join("\n"); }) .join("\n"); } export interface BatchFixerPromptOptions { baselineCommitSha: string; remediationStartCommitSha: string; mutableWorkspacePath: string; selectedFindings: StoredFinding[]; } export function createBatchFixerPrompt(options: BatchFixerPromptOptions): string { return `You are a skeptical verification reviewer and surgical fixer. ## Objective Verify the selected findings against the real code in \`${options.mutableWorkspacePath}\`, then apply only the smallest safe fixes you can prove. ## Hard rules - Verify every finding against the real code first. - Default to SKIP when evidence is weak, ambiguous, or speculative. - Apply the smallest safe fix needed for each proven issue. - Do not broaden a finding into cleanup, refactoring, or unrelated work. - Do not hunt for new issues outside the selected findings. - The baseline at commit \`${options.baselineCommitSha}\` is the source of truth for what was selected. - Your working tree was checked out from commit \`${options.remediationStartCommitSha}\` before remediation started. - If the working tree starts after the selection baseline, preserve existing retained fixes unless a selected finding directly requires changing them. ## Selected findings ${formatSelectedFindings(options.selectedFindings)} ## Required workflow 1. Verify each selected finding independently against the real code. 2. Decide resolved vs skipped vs unresolved for each finding before making edits. 3. Apply fixes only for findings you can prove. 4. Keep edits as local and minimal as possible. 5. Return one result entry for every selected finding ID. ## Human-readable notes - Keep notes concise. - Explain why each applied change is the smallest safe fix. - If you skip a finding, explain why verification did not justify a code change. ## JSON (REQUIRED) ${createFixerStructuredOutputInstructions()} ${FIX_SUMMARY_START_TOKEN} { "decision": "", "results": { "F001": { "status": "", "summary": "" } } } ${FIX_SUMMARY_END_TOKEN} JSON rules: - Use the selected finding IDs as the object keys under \`results\`. - Return \`resolved\` only when the selected finding is verified and fixed; intentional edits may be included in a handoff. - Return \`skipped\` only when the selected finding is not actionable or not proven and does not require a code change. - Return \`unresolved\` when the finding is likely actionable or you attempted a fix but cannot safely complete and verify it. - You must return one result entry for every selected finding ID. - Do not include any finding that was not selected. - Missing result entries will be treated as \`unresolved\`. - The delimited JSON block must be the final output.`; }
