Hotfix
Use this skill for urgent production-facing fixes where the blast radius must stay minimal.
Read first:
AGENTS.md
.claude/rules/architecture.md

.claude/rules/security.md
Read as needed:
- relevant logs
- the failing path
Workflow:
- Confirm the issue is urgent and production-facing.
- Localize the failing path quickly.
- Choose the smallest safe fix.
- Prefer a dedicated
hotfix/... branch when working from a shared branch.
- Implement only the containment or corrective change needed for the incident.
- Add the smallest meaningful regression coverage.
- Run the narrowest relevant verification, then broader checks if the touched area requires them.
- Prepare commit and PR notes.
- Ask for confirmation before any commit or push.
Rules:
- Do not refactor during a hotfix.
- If the durable fix is larger, propose a follow-up task after the incident is contained.
- Be explicit about any skipped verification.
