What it does

Hotfix is an agent skill from WellApp-ai/Well. Expedited workflow for urgent production issues

Its SKILL.md is about 460 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 Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: No more Sundays on Finance. We build the infrastructure that retrieves, processes, and routes your financial and business data to your FinOps stack, so founders can ship, not… The licence is MIT.

Workflow steps

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

Create Hotfix Branch
Implement Fix
Verify
Create PR
Alert Team

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c740217. 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:
- git
- gh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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

Hotfix loads about 462 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 192 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~462

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.

When to Use

Production is down or degraded
Critical bug affecting users
Security vulnerability discovered

How It Differs from Normal Flow

Normal	Hotfix
Branch from develop	Branch from main
ASK mode exploration	Skip to fix
Full PR review	Expedited review
Standard Slack message	URGENT alert

The Flow

Branch - Create hotfix branch from main
Fix - Implement minimal fix
Verify - Test fix works
PR - Create with HOTFIX label
Alert - Notify team urgently

Phase Checklist

Phase 1: Create Hotfix Branch

Fetch latest: git fetch origin main
Branch from main: git checkout -b hotfix/<issue-summary> origin/main
Confirm on hotfix branch

Phase 2: Implement Fix

Identify root cause (minimal investigation)
Implement smallest possible fix
Run typecheck and lint
NO new features, NO refactoring

Phase 3: Verify

Test fix locally
Confirm original issue resolved
Check for obvious regressions

Phase 4: Create PR

Push branch: git push -u origin HEAD

Create PR to main with HOTFIX label:

bash

gh pr create --base main --title "HOTFIX: <summary>" --label hotfix

Request expedited review

Phase 5: Alert Team

Generate urgent Slack message:

:rotating_light: **HOTFIX: [Issue Summary]**

**Impact:** [What was broken]
**Fix:** [What was changed]

:github: PR: [link]
:notion: Incident: [link if exists]

Requesting expedited review from: @[reviewer]

After Merge

Merge main back to develop: git checkout develop && git merge main
Create incident report in Notion (if major)
