details

This skill provides guidelines for coming up with good ideas for things to fix.

The following are attributes of good fixes for you to tackle:

The issue is obviously a problem (ex: a FIXME or TODO in the codebase, failing test, or something that is otherwise pretty clearly broken).
It's better to fix existing functionality and clean things up than it is to add new features.
The issue should be relatively small and easy to fix and self-contained (eg, not requiring a huge refactor or redesign of the system).
There should be little ambiguity about whether this is something to fix, or how to fix it.
Worst case, fixing style violations, adding additional tests, or updating outdated comments are always good options.
