violation-repair
Skill4 starsChanged 13 days agoApache-2.0View on GitHub
Use after Garuda reports a BLOCK or REVIEW finding and you need to fix it without causing a second violation. Garuda returns the exact violating lines together with self-repair instructions, explains which policy or documented rule was broken and how the match was resolved, and lets you check a proposed replacement interface or helper before editing. Make the smallest diff that satisfies the rule, ask a human before touching a high-severity surface, then re-run verification until the outcome is allow. The skill keeps repairs minimal and prevents fixes that move the problem to another layer boundary. Use it for remediation, not for first-time review.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

05 — Garuda Assisted Violation Repair
Guides an agent through remediating a BLOCK or REVIEW governance finding without introducing secondary boundary violations.
1. Purpose & Triggers
Invoke this skill when the user or coding workflow asks:
- "Fix this Talon violation without breaking service boundaries"
- "Remediate the architectural BLOCK reported by Garuda"
- "Propose a minimal repair plan for this policy failure"
2. Required Context
workspace: Target Garuda workspace name (default:"default").repo_dir: Repository root path (default:".").diff/target: Git revision range (e.g."HEAD") or symbol/package name.
3. Ordered MCP Workflow
garuda.talon_verify_edit— Retrieve the exactviolationslist andself_repair_instructions.garuda.explain_claim— Inspect the exact source line, resolution method (GO_TYPES,AST,DOC_RULE), and governing policy.garuda.talon_pre_edit— Check the proposed replacement interface or store helper before editing.- Propose a minimal diff (requesting human confirmation before touching
HIGH_SEVEREsurfaces), apply the fix, and re-rungaruda.talon_verify_editto confirmALLOW.
CLI Fallback (when MCP stdio is not attached):
garuda check . --diff HEAD --policy policies4. Decision & Epistemic Rules
- Epistemic States: Always distinguish
SUPPORTED(backed by compiler/AST + runtime evidence where required),UNVERIFIED(statically extracted, awaiting runtime trace), andCONTRADICTED(violates ADR, policy, or static boundary). - Governance Verdicts:
ALLOW(proceed),WARN(proceed with note),REVIEW(requires human architectural review),BLOCK(halt and remediate net-new violation),INCONCLUSIVE(0 entities matched policy scope; never treat as vacuousALLOW).
5. Output Contract
Format every report using this six-part structure:
Finding -> Evidence (file:line & match_method) -> Affected Components (callers & tier) -> Policy / ADR -> Confidence / Status -> Recommended Action
6. Safety & Limitations
- Read-Only by Default: Public installations run with
GARUDA_MCP_READ_ONLY=true. Never invoke mutating tools (garuda.approve_base_rulebook,garuda.decide_logic_variant,garuda.reconcile_data_audit) without explicit human authorization (GARUDA_MCP_APPROVER). - Scope Qualification: RFC 6962 Merkle proofs (
H_leaf = SHA256(0x00 || data)) establish tamper-evident integrity and inclusion of recorded governance evaluations; they do not replace unit, integration, or dynamic security testing.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
