What it does

Aster Fix Workflow is an agent skill from Zfinix/aster. Pipe aster review findings into aster fix to generate and apply patches safely, using review --json, fix --findings-json, dry-run inspection, --apply, and permission gating. Use when asked to auto-fix review findings, apply aster's suggested edits, or build a review-then-fix pipeline.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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, covering Code review. The repository describes itself as: An open-source agent harness for software work. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to auto-fix review findings
  • Apply asters suggested edits
  • Build a review-then-fix pipeline

Example prompts

  • “/aster-fix-workflow”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3fbb67c. 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:

    • jq
    • 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

Aster Fix Workflow loads about 534 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 208 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~534

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.

description
Pipe aster review findings into aster fix to generate and apply patches safely, using review --json, fix --findings-json, dry-run inspection, --apply, and permission gating. Use when asked to auto-fix review findings, apply aster's suggested edits, or build a review-then-fix pipeline.

Review → fix workflow

aster fix takes findings produced by aster review --json and asks the model for concrete edits. It is dry-run by default and only writes with --apply, subject to the permissions block in aster.yaml.

The pipeline

sh
aster review --json > findings.json        # 1. review, capture findings
aster fix --findings-json findings.json    # 2. dry-run: preview proposed edits
aster fix --findings-json findings.json --apply   # 3. write to the working tree

Or as one stream:

sh
aster review --json | aster fix --findings-json - --apply

Rules

  • ALWAYS run the dry-run first and read the preview before --apply. Never jump straight to --apply on findings you have not seen.
  • --apply writes to the working tree only; it never commits. Review the diff with git diff afterward and commit yourself.
  • Writes are gated by permissions in aster.yaml (mode, plus allow/ask/deny rules). A headless run has no way to answer a prompt, so anything that reaches ask is refused: automation needs mode: edit with explicit allow rules like Edit(src/**).
  • --json emits one JSON array of per-finding results (useful to report which fixes applied, failed, or were skipped).
  • --model overrides the fix model (else ASTER_MODEL, else aster.yaml); --repo-root <DIR> sets the root the finding paths are relative to.

Curating findings

aster fix fixes whatever is in the array, so filter first. Findings are JSON; drop low-confidence or out-of-scope entries before fixing, e.g.:

sh
aster review --json | jq '[.[] | select(.confidence >= 0.8)]' | aster fix --findings-json - 

After applying

Run the project's tests/build to confirm the fixes hold, then commit. Treat model edits like any other patch: verified, not trusted.
