# meticulous-fix This skill takes the diffs a reviewer rejected on a Meticulous test run and implements the fixes, following the review comments. Handy once review is done and the work starts. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 4500 installs · ★ 10 - Author: alwaysmeticulous - License: ISC · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/alwaysmeticulous/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/meticulous-fix/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-22 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/meticulous-fix ## What it does The skill pulls rejected diffs straight from a Meticulous run. The `--onlyRejected` and `--onlyWithComments` flags are additive, so you get every diff that was rejected, carries an open comment, or both. Comments left by `ignore-diff` and `approve-diff` are not fix instructions, and the skill leaves those threads alone. It then reads the comments on each diff, replies included, oldest first. A rejected diff with no comments gets handled from the visual and structural context instead: `image-files` and `dom-diff`. Runs can also carry non-visual checks such as `accessibility` or `network-requests`; a check whose open comment starts with `Verdict: reject` becomes a fix target, and the reason in that comment is the instruction. Agent swarm failures on the same commit are checked too, and only cases with a `fixPrompt` count. Before any of that, the skill asks you to run `meticulous-cli-update` so the CLI and skills are current — skip it if it already ran in the conversation. MCP calls never infer git context, so pass the commit or test run explicitly. When a swarm case has `check.linkedToChange` set to `"no"`, the checker decided the PR did not cause the failure, and the skill reports it rather than fixing it. A run still in progress is polled for up to 10 minutes; if it has not finished by then, the skill says so in its report. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add alwaysmeticulous/skills --skill meticulous-fix -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/meticulous-fix/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/meticulous-fix/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add alwaysmeticulous/skills --skill meticulous-fix -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/meticulous-fix/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add alwaysmeticulous/skills --skill meticulous-fix -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/meticulous-fix/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install alwaysmeticulous/skills meticulous-fix ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/meticulous-fix/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add alwaysmeticulous/skills --skill meticulous-fix -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/alwaysmeticulous/skills --path skills/meticulous-fix ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/meticulous-fix/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add alwaysmeticulous/skills --skill meticulous-fix -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/alwaysmeticulous/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/meticulous-fix/SKILL.md ## When to use it - apply fixes to rejected visual diffs after review - work through reviewer comments on a specific diff and screenshot - clear rejected accessibility or network-requests checks - pick up a fix prompt from a failed Agent swarm case on the commit - tell an instruction comment apart from ignore-diff and approve-diff notes ## Example prompts - run meticulous-fix and fix the rejected diffs from the latest run - read the comments on this diff and make the changes they ask for - check the failed Agent swarm cases on this commit and fix the ones with a fix prompt ## Source text · SKILL.md · ISC Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE c701526b68fbcf77 ````text --- name: meticulous-fix description: Fix the visual diffs (and any non-visual checks) that have been reviewed and rejected on a Meticulous test run, following their review comments if given, plus any Agent swarm fix prompts on the same commit. Use when a user has reviewed the results of a test run and is handing off to an agent to implement the fixes, or when the `meticulous-review` skill hands off what needs fixing on a change you're working on. user-invocable: true --- To fix diffs that have already been reviewed and rejected, follow the workflow below step by step, using the CLI or MCP commands as described. > Before starting, run the `meticulous-cli-update` skill to ensure the Meticulous CLI and skills are up to date — unless it has already run earlier in this conversation, in which case skip it. This skill assumes the review has already happened — a user (or the `meticulous-review` skill) has gone through the run and rejected the diffs that are real problems, possibly leaving comments explaining what's wrong or what to do about it, though comments aren't a given. Your job here is narrower than a full review: don't re-litigate diffs that weren't rejected, and don't second-guess the rejection itself — just work out what needs to change and make it happen. ## Step 1 -- Get the rejected diffs and any commented-on diffs ```bash # CLI meticulous agent test-run-diffs --onlyRejected --onlyWithComments --includeReviews # MCP (git context is never inferred — pass a commit or test run explicitly) get_test_run_diffs(testRunId="", onlyRejected=true, onlyWithComments=true, includeReviews=true) ``` Without arguments the CLI resolves the run from your local git HEAD; to name it explicitly, pass `--testRunId `, `--commitSha ` or `--prNumber ` (MCP takes `prNumber` in place of `testRunId` too). ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE c701526b68fbcf77 The third-party file has ended.
