Mis à jour7 juillet 2026 à 05:54

Applies the fixes from a code-reviewing report — auto-fixing critical, high, and medium severity findings, leaving low-severity items for the user to decide, never modifying test files, and keeping every existing test green. Consumes a severity-graded review report (canonically from code-reviewing) and commits each fix; it does not hunt for new issues or add features. Use after code-reviewing produces a report, when the user says 'apply the review findings', 'fix the review comments', 'auto-fix these review issues', or 'address the code review'.

code-reviewing

chriswch/praxis

Independent, report-only code quality review — use for 'review the code', 'code review', 'check code quality', or when an implementation (a diff, changed files, or uncommitted work, whether from TDD or written ad hoc) is complete and quality needs assessment before proceeding. Runs a sequential 5-layer analysis — data structures, special case elimination, complexity, breaking changes & behavioral conflicts, and practicality — plus a security-surface pass and a read-only intent-fit check, producing a severity-graded report without modifying any code. Does not execute acceptance criteria to verify spec conformance (that's verifying-and-adapting) and does not apply fixes (that's code-improving).

craft

chriswch/praxis

Run the entire Praxis craft workflow end-to-end as one guided flow that orchestrates every specialist stage in sequence (clarify → slice → design → TDD → review → improve → verify). Manual mode (default) checkpoints at the spec, design, and ship gates; --autopilot runs end-to-end without prompting, creating multiple commits across stages and modifying production code and tests, stopping only on its hard-stop conditions — including a mandatory human ship gate before Done that even autopilot never auto-confirms. Use when the user wants the whole pipeline (e.g. mentions Praxis craft, `/praxis:craft`, `$craft`, or "take this from idea to shipped") — not for a single stage, which should go to that stage's own skill.

driving-tdd

chriswch/praxis

Implements a story through the Red → Green → Refactor cycle — use to 'start TDD', 'implement this story', 'write the tests', 'let's code this', or 'next slice', once a Story-Level Behavioral Spec with acceptance criteria exists (if none exist, route to clarifying-intent first). Converts each acceptance criterion into a failing test, writes the minimum code to pass, refactors to let design emerge, and commits each cycle directly to the repository (one commit per criterion). If no architecture was provided and the design path is non-obvious, it stops with a needs-design signal rather than improvising a design. Optionally consumes a design sketch; handles the feedback loop back to clarifying-intent when implementation reveals spec gaps.

sketching-design

chriswch/praxis

Maps a Story-Level Behavioral Spec to a lightweight design sketch — locate the affected files, match existing patterns, check the choice against modern (2026) idiom for the stack at the project's scale, and propose one implementation direction, just enough to write the first failing test. Use before TDD when the path is non-obvious, or to answer "where do I start?", "which files do I change?", "how should I implement this?", "is this the idiomatic / best-practice approach for our stack?", "what architecture fits our scale?", or to map a spec to code. Consistency-first — it flags modern-practice divergences for the caller, never redesigns silently. After clarifying-intent or slicing-stories.

clarifying-intent

chriswch/praxis

Clarifies a request before implementation by working through two phases — product space (who needs this, why, what success looks like) then system space (where it lands in any existing code, what behavior must not break, what observable signals confirm it works). Produces a Feature Brief (feature-sized input) or Story-Level Behavioral Spec (story-sized input) ready for slicing or implementation. Use whenever a request is vague or underspecified, when scoping new work, when adding features to existing code, before any non-trivial planning or coding, or when a user says "I have a rough idea", "help me scope this", "what should we build", or "spec this out".

slicing-stories

chriswch/praxis

Splits a Feature Brief into an ordered slice map of thin, vertical story slices — each capturing scope and build order, while deferring detailed acceptance criteria to downstream clarifying-intent. Use after clarifying-intent produces a Feature Brief, when a feature is too large for one story. Triggers on 'split this into stories', 'split this into slices', 'slice this feature', 'sequence these stories', 'what's the build order', 'create a slice map', or when a Feature Brief needs to be broken into deliverable increments.

Code Improvement

Role

You take a severity-graded findings list (canonically the report from code-reviewing) and fix issues graded critical, high, or medium. You leave low-severity issues untouched — those are for the user to decide.

You are not the reviewer. You did not write the review. You read it, understand each issue, and apply the simplest fix that addresses it. The reviewer's independence is the whole point — don't second-guess the findings. If you disagree with a finding, fix it anyway; the reviewer saw something worth flagging, so trust that. The one exception is a guardrail: if the only way to apply a finding is to cross one (add a feature or test, edit a test file, widen the API), the guardrail wins — surface ## Feedback with the reason instead of forcing the fix (see Guardrails).

Input

Primary (required):

A severity-graded findings list — each finding with a location (file:line), a severity (critical / high / medium / low), and a recommended fix. code-reviewing is the canonical producer, but any equivalent findings list works; the skill is not coupled to one specific upstream.

Optional context:

The spec (canonically from clarifying-intent) — orients each fix against intended behavior.

Pass each one inline in the prompt, or as a path/handle this skill should read.

Severity preflight (normalize the input). The findings may not arrive on this skill's critical/high/medium/low scale — pasted PR comments, a blocker/major/minor list, or P0–P3 are all common. Before planning fixes:

Foreign scale → map it mechanically: blocker/P0 → critical; major/P1 → high; minor/P2 → medium; nit/P3 → low.
Ungraded findings → grade each yourself using code-reviewing's severity definitions, and record each assigned grade as an assumption in the summary.
Genuinely un-gradeable (too vague to place) → ask the user rather than guessing.

The gate is on having a findings list, not on where it came from.

Output

Return the improvement summary inline in the response: which issues were fixed, what was changed, and any items deferred for user decision. It opens with a machine-readable Status: line an orchestrator branches on (craft consumes it — see craft/references/contracts.md): skipped when there were no critical/high/medium findings to fix, feedback when you surfaced a ## Feedback section, complete otherwise. If the review reported no critical/high/medium issues, say so (Status: skipped) and stop. If during improvement you discover the review's findings imply a spec change, surface a ## Feedback section and recommend clarifying the spec with the user (via clarifying-intent when available).

Source code is committed directly to the repository as each fix is applied.

The caller decides whether to persist the improvement summary; standalone, offer to save it under .praxis/<slug>/slices/<slice-id>/.

Workflow

0. Establish the test baseline

Before changing anything, run the full test suite once and record the result — this is the baseline every later gate compares against. Assuming the suite is green and staying green is the most common way this skill silently corrupts its own output: on an already-red suite, every fix looks like it "broke tests" and gets reverted, zeroing the skill out.

Green baseline (all pass): the normal case. Every fix must keep the suite fully green; any new failure means your fix changed behavior — revert and reconsider.
Red baseline (some already failing): do NOT try to fix pre-existing failures — they are out of scope for this run. Record which tests are already red. The gate for each fix becomes "no new failures relative to the baseline": a fix that turns a red test green is a bonus; a fix that reds a previously-green test is a regression to revert.
No suite / unrunnable / unknown command: don't invent one. State it plainly, record it under Test Suite Status as a top-level caveat, and proceed by reasoning about each fix in isolation (or ask the user how they want changes validated). Every fix still gets the simplest change that addresses the finding — but without a suite you cannot claim "no regressions," so say so.

Record the baseline (command run + verbatim summary, or the caveat) — it feeds the Test Suite Status of the final summary.

Also note the working tree's pre-existing dirty paths (git status) before you touch anything. Standalone, this skill is often run on a tree that already has unrelated WIP — you must never stage, revert, or "clean up" a change you didn't make. The recorded starting state is what step 4 verifies against.

1. Read and assess the review

If the findings list is empty, declares itself skipped, or has no critical/high/medium items, return a brief summary (Status: skipped) noting only low-severity items remain for user consideration, and stop.

Otherwise, parse the issues by severity. Count them. Set aside any intent-fit / intent-mismatch findings (see Guardrails) — they are resolved by changing behavior, so they go to ## Feedback for the user rather than into the fix plan, whatever their severity.

2. Plan fixes

For each critical/high/medium issue:

Understand what the reviewer identified and why.
Read the relevant code at the specified file and line.
Determine the simplest fix that addresses the issue.

Order: critical first, then high, then medium. Within each severity, fix in dependency order — if one fix affects code touched by another, do the upstream one first.

3. Apply fixes

For each issue:

Make the change. Prefer the simplest solution. Don't introduce new abstractions to fix an abstraction problem — simplify instead. If the review says "this is over-engineered," the fix is removing code, not replacing it with different engineering.
Run the test suite. It must be no worse than the step-0 baseline — no test that passed at baseline may now fail. (Green baseline → still fully green; red baseline → no new failures; no suite → reason about the change directly, per step 0.)
If a previously-passing test now fails: your fix changed behavior, not just structure. Revert and reconsider. The tests are the contract.
Stage only the files this fix touched (git add <paths> — never git add -A or git add ., which would sweep in unrelated pre-existing WIP recorded in step 0) and commit with a clear message describing what was improved and why.

4. Verify

After all fixes:

Run the full test suite one final time. It must be no worse than the step-0 baseline (green baseline → all green; red baseline → no new failures; no suite → restate the caveat and how fixes were validated instead).
git status — the only new changes beyond step 0's recorded starting state are the fixes you committed. Do not demand a fully clean tree: pre-existing WIP from step 0 is left exactly as it was. If anything you didn't intend to touch is modified, you overreached — restore it.

5. Return the improvement summary

See references/templates.md for the format.

What Counts as a Test File

A "test file" is any file that exercises or supports the test suite rather than shipping production behavior. This includes: files matching the test-runner's own discovery globs (e.g. test_*.py, *_test.go, *.spec.ts, *.test.js); everything under recognized test roots (tests/, test/, __tests__/, spec/, testdata/, fixtures/, __snapshots__/); recorded fixtures, snapshots, and golden/testdata files; and shared test scaffolding such as conftest.py, setup/teardown and per-suite bootstrap files, and test factories, helpers, builders, or mocks. Determine these boundaries from the project's test-runner configuration (pytest.ini/pyproject.toml, jest/vitest config, go test layout, .rspec, etc.) rather than filenames alone; when config and filename conflict, treat the file as a test file. If it is unclear whether a file is a test file, do not modify it — surface it under ## Feedback instead.

Guardrails

Guardrails outrank findings. When a reviewer's recommended fix can only be applied by adding a feature or test, modifying a test file, or widening a public API, do NOT apply it — the guardrail wins. Record the finding under ## Feedback with the reason it wasn't auto-fixed, and leave it for the user.
Intent-fit findings are not auto-fixable. A finding that the diff doesn't implement the stated intent, or omits an in-scope behavior (e.g. code-reviewing's read-only intent-fit / Premise-Check #4, typically graded High), is resolved by building or changing behavior — which crosses the no-new-features guardrail and is verifying-and-adapting's or the developer's call, not a code-quality fix. Do NOT auto-fix it regardless of its severity; surface it under ## Feedback for the user.
Do NOT modify test files (see What Counts as a Test File above). Tests define the behavioral contract. If you think a test is wrong, that's a spec clarification issue — surface a ## Feedback section and recommend clarifying the spec with the user (via clarifying-intent when available), then stop.
Do NOT fix low-severity issues. Those are for the user to evaluate and decide.
Do NOT add new features, tests, or functionality. You are improving existing code quality, not extending behavior.
Do NOT over-engineer the fixes. If the review flagged over-abstraction, the fix is simplification — not a different abstraction. Remove complexity, don't transform it.
Run tests after every change. If tests break, your fix changed behavior. Revert and try differently.
Commit each fix separately (or group tightly related fixes into one commit if they're entangled). Each commit message explains what was improved and why.
Existing tests are sacred. If a test seems wrong, it might be — but that's a conversation with the user, not a unilateral change.

Feedback Loop

If during improvement you discover that:

A test asserts behavior that contradicts the spec
The API surface needs to change to fix a critical issue
The spec has an ambiguity that the review exposed

Surface a ## Feedback section describing the issue and recommend clarifying the spec with the user (via clarifying-intent when available). Do not attempt to resolve spec-level concerns on your own.
