…ist, add pivot rules Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…test verify guidance
- Remove `Bash(node *)`, `Bash(npx *)`, `Bash(npm *)` from the agent allowlist. With `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, write-scoped `GITHUB_TOKEN`, and `id-token: write` in the job env, arbitrary `node -e ...` / `npx <pkg>` would be a credential-exfiltration vector if a prompt-injection payload slipped past the heuristic checker. The agent uses `yarn` (per CLAUDE.md) for everything build/test, so the broad escape hatches buy nothing.
- Skill: document `gh api repos/.../actions/jobs/<id>/logs` as the fallback when `gh run view --log` fails with the recurring `stream error: stream ID 1; CANCEL`. Saves a wasted retry turn.
- Skill: reframe Step 5 ("Verify the fix") so it acknowledges flaky-test fixes can't be verified by running the test once. For those, the verification is that the change matches a clear existing pattern; otherwise abort.

…epeat-each Replaces the "skip the runtime test, rely on symmetric pattern" exception with concrete repeat-run guidance per test framework (Playwright --repeat-each, Vitest --repeat). Includes how to derive the PW_BUNDLE script from the failing job name. Symmetric-pattern verification is now the second-tier fallback, used only when the test command can't be identified within a turn or two. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ration-tests Step 5's repeat-verification guidance previously read as Playwright-only. Reframe it around "identify the test type from path/job name, then apply the matching repeat flag", with concrete recipes for each location flaky tests can actually live: browser-integration-tests, node-integration-tests, e2e-tests (per-app), package unit tests, and a fallback for everything else. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both are also Vitest-based, same repeat-flag handling as node-integration-tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Dogfooded against #20962 (opentelemetry Vitest test). Vitest errors with `Unknown option \`--repeat\`` when given --repeat=5; checked `vitest --help` and confirmed there is no equivalent flag (--retry is a re-run-on-failure mechanism, not flake detection). Rewrite Step 5 so the Playwright pattern keeps --repeat-each=5 (genuine batched repeat) while Vitest tests are explicitly called out as needing 5 sequential invocations — the one exception to the "don't spawn separate invocations" rule, since the runner gives no alternative. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Dogfooding against #20840 turned up the agent reaching for `grep -rn` via Bash to do cross-suite pattern searches. The workflow allowlist intentionally does NOT include `Bash(grep *)`/`Bash(find *)` for recursive grep — the Grep/Glob tools are the right interface (faster, ignore-aware, no permission denial). Add a leading bullet to the Bash usage rules calling this out so the agent doesn't waste a turn getting denied. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Dogfooding produced PRs (#21055, #21053) with literal backslash-backticks in their bodies because the body got passed through `gh pr create --body "$(cat <<'EOF' ... EOF)"`, where I needlessly escaped backticks out of shell-quoting paranoia, breaking every code block. Tell the agent to write the body to a file with the `Write` tool, then pass `--body-file` to `gh pr create`. The body never touches Bash quoting, so backticks, dollar signs, and parens render exactly as written. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…Step 6 Step 6 previously said "Follow the repo's commit conventions (see CLAUDE.md)", which transitively pulls in CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md's "Before Every Commit" checklist (`yarn format`, `yarn lint`, `yarn test`, `yarn build:dev`). That contradicts Step 5 and the Turn-economy rule that forbid running tests/linters/formatters/builds (yarn is not allowlisted). Pull the commit-message convention into Step 6 directly (no indirection), and add an explicit override telling the agent NOT to run the pre-commit checklist — CI on the PR catches lint/test failures anyway. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two related fixes: 1. Job-ID extraction. Step 1 told the agent to call `gh api .../actions/jobs/<job-id>/logs` but never explained where `<job-id>` comes from. Auto-created flaky-test issues link the failing job as `.../actions/runs/<run-id>/job/<job-id>`, so the id is in the URL — Step 1 now spells out the extraction. As a fallback for run-only URLs, allowlist `gh api .../actions/runs/<run-id>/jobs` so the agent can list jobs and pick the matching one by name. 2. Drop the broad `Bash(cat *)` / `Bash(head *)` / `Bash(tail *)` / `Bash(ls *)` / `Bash(find *)` / `Bash(wc *)` entries. Combined with the allowlisted `gh issue comment`, a prompt-injection that bypasses `detect_prompt_injection.py` could read `/proc/self/environ` (containing `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` and `GITHUB_TOKEN`) and post the env as a public comment. The agent has `Read`/`Grep`/`Glob` tools that cover every legitimate use of these commands; the Bash entries were redundant and a real exfil vector. The Bash usage rules now spell out "use Read/Grep/Glob, not cat / ls / find / head / tail / wc" with the security rationale. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The workflow's prompt is just `/fix-issue ${{ ... }} --ci`, which loads
the fix-issue skill via Claude Code's `Skill` tool. With `--allowedTools`
restricting what the agent can call, omitting `Skill` blocks the slash
command and leaves the agent without the workflow content — only the
literal `/fix-issue ...` text and the minimal safety repeats below.
Add `Skill` to the front of the allowlist.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`Skill` (unscoped) lets the agent load any skill under `.agents/skills/` (`release`, `vendor-otel`, `add-cdn-bundle`, etc.). The workflow only needs `/fix-issue`, so restrict it: `Skill(fix-issue)` — agent can load the fix-issue skill and nothing else. Limits future blast radius if a new skill in the tree ever becomes privileged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Note: I ran this a couple of times locally, iterating on this a bit. let's see how it runs in GHA... warden and cursor bot had a whole bunch of suggestions/warnings that have been incorporated. |
…ailures Driven by dogfooding against #20641: when a Playwright test fails with only `Test timeout of 30000ms exceeded` and no assertion-level detail in the log, the agent has no way to know which `await` hung — it has to abort because the trace.zip artifact (which would identify the failing step) isn't reachable. Add two scoped Bash entries: - `Bash(gh run download:*)` — to fetch the `playwright-traces-*` run artifact (the workflow already has `actions: read`). - `Bash(unzip:*)` — to extract the inner `trace.zip` if `error-context.md` isn't enough. The runner is ephemeral so arbitrary unzip targets don't persist beyond the job. Update Step 1 with an "only when log shows a bare timeout" subsection walking the agent through: - `gh run download <run-id> --pattern 'playwright-traces-*' --dir .pw-traces` - Read `error-context.md` first (Playwright's per-failure markdown summary — usually sufficient) - Fall back to `unzip trace.zip` only if needed (the inner JSON-line trace is large and unstructured — last resort). - Leave the directory in workspace, don't `rm`.

| - Re-read the diff. Confirm the modified test still exercises the same behavior it did before — assertions and what they check, code paths covered, scenarios under test — and does not silently drop coverage. A fix that makes the test pass by removing the thing it was checking is not a fix; that's "loosening the test" and is grounds to abort per Step 4. | ||
| - For flaky-test fixes specifically: confirm the change attacks the actual race / timing / environment cause you identified in Step 1, not just the surface symptom. If you cannot point to the specific mechanism the change neutralizes, abort. |

Should we maybe also mention to also use the wirte-tests skill when a test-rewrite is needed? We have some best-practices in there that might be useful for fixing flakes.
E.g. this one which I just added: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/21054/changes

hmm not 100% sure, in most cases a test flake fix should be pretty small and not fundamentally rewriting the test, I'd say 🤔 I wonder if it will go and try to do more extensive changes if we use this. wdyt?

yeah probably not worth adding the whole skill to the context. But we could definitely add some common problems in flakey tests and their fixes. Like the one mentioned above, which is a common issue in SSR tests.

true 🤔 maybe we could extract this into a separate skill, e.g. /analyze-test or something along these lines, where we can put findings like these for future reference 🤔
Dogfooded the new artifact-fetch path against #20641 (run from 2026-05-04, today is 2026-05-20). `gh run download` returned "no artifact matches any of the names or patterns provided" — because playwright-traces artifacts in this repo have a 7-day retention, not because the artifact never existed. Tell the agent to recognize this signal explicitly and not retry with different patterns — proceed to the abort comment with a "trace artifact expired" note so a maintainer can re-link a fresh failing run.

This reverts commit 2dc4078.
…imeout failures" This reverts commit 513698b.
Two additions based on dogfooding the skill across 8 issues (5 PRs, 3 aborts): 1. New "Recognized flaky-test patterns" section. The same handful of signatures recurred across dogfooded runs: docker-compose handshake races, OTel wallclock second-boundary clamp, Turbopack dev-mode 404s, profiler builtin frames, parallel-test event cross-contamination, broker-handshake unhandled rejections, bare Playwright timeouts. Codifying these lets the agent map signature → likely cause → typical fix instead of re-deriving from first principles each time, while still calling out the non-trivial ones as abort cases. 2. New bullet in Bash usage rules calling out that `gh api .../logs` output (>100 KB) can't be piped to grep — read what comes back once, scan for known signposts (`1) [chromium]`, `Error:`, `FAIL`, etc.), and write to a workspace file if multi-pass search is really needed. I (the operator) kept reflexively reaching for `gh api … | grep …` every dogfood run; this is the explicit "don't" plus what to do instead. Skill is now ~130 lines, well under the 500-line target. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per user: the issue body and CI log already contain the failure signature, so listing pre-canned patterns is overfitting on past dogfooded examples and risks shallow pattern-matching. Let the agent diagnose each issue on its own evidence. Large-log-handling bullet in Bash usage rules stays — that one is about a recurring tool-use reflex, not pattern matching.

Colon-form `--allowedTools` patterns are prefix-matched — `*` at the terminal position is honored as a glob, but a mid-path `*` (e.g. `jobs/*/logs`) is treated as a literal asterisk in the pattern. Since the actual command `gh api repos/.../jobs/12345/logs` doesn't contain a literal `*`, it was being denied, leaving the agent unable to fetch CI logs at all (Step 1 of the skill). Collapse the two separate endpoint patterns into one terminal-globbed prefix `Bash(gh api:repos/getsentry/sentry-javascript/actions/*)`. This covers both `actions/jobs/<id>/logs` and `actions/runs/<id>/jobs`, plus related read-only actions API endpoints. Scope is still: - pinned to a single repo (no cross-org enumeration) - pinned to the actions namespace (no `gh api /user`, no `gh api /repos/.../issues`, no `gh api -X POST .../pulls`) The actions namespace returns workflow metadata only — no secrets — so the slightly wider scope is acceptable in exchange for the patterns actually matching the calls the skill is documented to make. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two related Bash-quoting / flag-omission risks the skill didn't guard: 1. Step 6 told the agent to `git commit -m "<conventional commit>"` and to "include Fixes #<issue> in the message body" — but a single `-m` only sets the subject. The footer would silently disappear, leaving merged PRs that don't auto-close their linked issue. Switch to the explicit two-`-m` form: `git commit -m "<subject>" -m "Fixes #<issue-number>"`. Also note that the PR body in Step 7 carries `Fixes #N` as belt-and-suspenders — GitHub honors the closing keyword in either surface. 2. Abort path told the agent to "post a comment on the issue" via Bash without specifying the body channel. Inline `--body "<text>"` has the same backtick-mangling problem Step 7 already calls out for `gh pr create`: code fences render as literal `\``, breaking formatting in the comment. Require `--body-file` for abort comments too. Step 4 now spells out the full pattern (`Write` the comment to a workspace file → `gh issue comment <id> --repo … --body-file <file>`). The other abort references in Tool failure handling and Turn budget now point at Step 4 instead of restating the rule. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The broad `Bash(gh api:repos/.../actions/*)` entry covered far more than the two endpoints the skill documents (jobs/<id>/logs, runs/<id>/jobs). It also reached `actions/artifacts/*`, `actions/workflows/*`, `actions/cache/*`, `actions/permissions/*`, `actions/secrets/*` (names only, but still unnecessary), and `actions/variables/*`. For a public repo on a write-scoped GITHUB_TOKEN the risk is low (anyone can read public run logs/artifacts via the web UI), but it violates least-privilege and the skill doesn't describe any of those endpoints. Split into two narrow entries: - `Bash(gh api:repos/.../actions/jobs/*)` — covers /jobs/<id> and the /jobs/<id>/logs the skill uses for the primary CI-log path. - `Bash(gh api:repos/.../actions/runs/*)` — covers /runs/<id> and the /runs/<id>/jobs fallback when the issue URL has only a run id. These rely on terminal `*` matching across `/` (the mid-path-`*` form documented as broken). If a CI dispatch surfaces denials on the trailing `/logs` or `/jobs` paths, fall back to the wider `actions/*` entry and accept the trade-off.

Bug: The allowedTools glob pattern .../jobs/* will not match nested paths like .../jobs/<job-id>/logs because a single asterisk (*) does not match path separators (/).
Severity: HIGH
Suggested Fix
Update the glob pattern to match across path separators. Use a double asterisk (**) to match nested paths. Change the allowedTools pattern from .../jobs/* to .../jobs/** to correctly allow access to endpoints like .../jobs/<job-id>/logs.

Location: .github/workflows/auto-fix-issue.yml#L99
Potential issue: The GitHub workflow at `.github/workflows/auto-fix-issue.yml`
configures an agent with an `--allowedTools` pattern `Bash(gh
api:repos/getsentry/sentry-javascript/actions/jobs/*)`. This pattern is intended to
allow the agent to fetch CI logs using the `gh` CLI from paths like
`repos/getsentry/sentry-javascript/actions/jobs/<job-id>/logs`. However, standard
globbing rules are used, where a single asterisk (`*`) does not match the path separator
(`/`). Consequently, the pattern `.../jobs/*` will fail to match the required API path,
causing the tool execution to be denied and preventing the agent from accessing the
necessary logs.

claude thinks that's not true, we'll try it I guess...
…abort (comment) Step 4 previously had one ABORT mode that always posted a comment via `gh issue comment --body-file`. The workspace-read rule contradicted this with "abort and post nothing" for suspected prompt injection — but the agent following Step 4's general behavior could still post, defeating the mitigation: the injection's whole goal is usually to exfiltrate via the `gh issue comment` sink. Split Step 4 explicitly into two named modes: - **Security abort** — silent. Detected/suspected injection (issue content asks to read paths outside the workspace, run forbidden tools, modify unrelated code, post specific text, etc.) → exit, no comment, no `gh issue comment` call at all. - **Standard abort** — comment. Complicated/uncertain fix not driven by injection → write comment file, post via `--body-file`. Update the workspace-read rule, Turn budget, and Tool failure handling to point at the right mode by name. Non-security tool failures default to standard abort (with comment); injection-driven aborts default to security abort (silent). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Previously file-access tools were allowlisted unscoped (bare `Read`, `Write`, etc.), so the only thing keeping the agent from reading `/proc/self/environ` was a prose rule in SKILL.md — soft enforcement that collapses the moment a prompt-injection variant evades the regex-based `detect_prompt_injection.py`. Switch to tool-layer scoping: - `Read(./**)`, `Write(./**)`, `Edit(./**)`, `MultiEdit(./**)`, `Glob(./**)`, `Grep(./**)` Paths outside the workspace now fail at the action's permission layer before reaching the SDK or the agent's discretion. Combined with the still-narrow `Bash(gh issue comment:*)`, the exfiltration chain (`Read /proc/self/environ` → `gh issue comment`) is closed at the *read* end, regardless of what the agent is talked into doing. Skill's workspace-read rule rewritten to reflect that the boundary is now action-enforced — the agent's job is just to recognize injection attempts and security-abort silently. Caveat: this relies on the action's permission matcher resolving `./**` against the workspace CWD. If a CI dispatch surfaces denials on legitimate workspace reads, fall back to the absolute form (`Read(/home/runner/work/sentry-javascript/sentry-javascript/**)`).

Bug: The new fix-issue skill is not registered in agents.toml, which will prevent the agent from discovering it and cause the /fix-issue command to fail.
Severity: HIGH
Suggested Fix
Add a [[skills]] entry for the fix-issue skill in the agents.toml file. This will allow the dotagents tool to correctly symlink the skill so the agent can discover and use it.

Potential issue: The new `fix-issue` skill, defined in
`.agents/skills/fix-issue/SKILL.md`, is invoked in the workflow but has not been
registered in the `agents.toml` configuration file. The `dotagents` tool relies on this
file to create symlinks for skills in the `.claude/skills/` directory, which is the
discovery path for the agent. Without this registration, the symlink will not be
created, the `/fix-issue` command will be unresolvable, and the agent will fail to
execute its primary instructions.

this is symlinked and should work.
A reviewer flagged the unregistered skill as a discovery bug — that claim is wrong (`.claude/skills` is a directory-level symlink to `.agents/skills`, so all skills under there resolve regardless of `agents.toml` registration), but the registration is still worth doing: - `agents.lock` only contains integrity hashes for registered skills; unregistered ones are invisible to `dotagents install` verification. - Every other in-repo skill (`triage-issue`, `release`, etc.) uses `source = "path:.agents/skills/<name>"` — inconsistent omission. - If `dotagents` ever adds destructive sync behavior, unregistered skills are at risk. Not touching `agents.lock` — the next `dotagents install` run regenerates it with the computed integrity hash. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Restructures the Auto Fix Issue workflow (
.github/workflows/auto-fix-issue.yml) and extracts its inline prompt into a new repo skill (.agents/skills/fix-issue/SKILL.md), driven by analysis of run 26148923484 — which hit the 80-turn cap with 36 tool errors and produced no PR.What the workflow does now

Tight enough to prevent prompt-injection-driven credential exfiltration, broad enough for the agent to actually do its job. All Bash entries use the colon form (matching

Readis the underlying primitive. The skill includes an explicit "do not read paths outside the workspace" rule that the agent must follow, but rule-following by a compromised agent is not a hard mitigation.Closing this chain properly requires one of:
