What it does

Long Task Hotfix is an agent skill from suriyel/longtaskforagent. Use when bugfix-request.json exists - validate, reproduce, root-cause, and enqueue a user-reported bug as a category=bugfix feature, then chain to Worker for TDD fix

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Root cause analysis and Test-driven development.

When your agent uses it

  • Bugfix-request.json exists - validate
  • Enqueue a user-reported bug as a category=bugfix feature
  • Then chain to Worker for TDD fix

Example prompts

  • “/long-task-hotfix”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Announce
  2. Validate Signal File
  3. Orient
  4. Reproduce
  5. Root Cause Analysis
  6. Enqueue as Bugfix Feature
  7. Update task-progress.md
  8. Finalize

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ca67fe1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Long Task Hotfix loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 966 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 966 words (~2,226 tokens).
