Registries are re-read at every session start; consistency pays back each time. Adding a single rule in CLAUDE.md § Memory registries (authoritative) + a short reminder at the end of each CAPITALIZE block (ship-feature, bugfix, hotfix, feat, commit-change, close). Rationale: (1) model re-reads the registries more efficiently in a single language, (2) lower token cost for English (model's primary training language), (3) easier cross-project reuse. Interactive gates may still mirror the user's language — only the written entry is constrained. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

HOTFIX — Quick Superficial Fix
Fast-track fix for obvious bugs. No planning overhead, no plugin check, no subagents. Get in, fix, verify, get out.
REQUEST
$ARGUMENTS
STEP 1 — LOCATE
Find the bug. Use the description and any error message to go straight to the source:
git status
git log --oneline -3
- Read the relevant file(s). Confirm the root cause is obvious and superficial (typo, wrong value, missing import, etc.).
- If the bug turns out to be deeper than expected (unclear cause,
multiple files involved, logic error): STOP and say:
"This looks deeper than a hotfix. Load
$HOME/.claude/agents/bugfixer.mdand run the BUGFIXER agent on this target."
STEP 1.5 — DESIGN GATE
Follow $HOME/.claude/lib/design-gate.md:
- Scan $ARGUMENTS and target files for design/UI/style signals (CSS, component, styling, animation).
- If signals found and
ui-ux-pro-maxinactive → ask user to activate. - If no signals → skip (zero overhead).
STEP 2 — FIX
Apply the minimal change that fixes the bug:
- Edit only what is necessary. No refactoring, no cleanup.
- If tests exist for the affected code, run them:
# detect and run relevant tests - If a build step exists, verify it still passes.
STEP 3 — VERIFY + COMMIT
- Verify the fix:
- Run the test suite or the specific test if available.
- If no tests: explain what you verified manually.
- Commit using conventional format:
fix(<scope>): <what was wrong> Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> - Print summary:
HOTFIX APPLIED FILE(S) : <changed files> FIX : <one-line description> VERIFIED: <test name or manual check>
STEP 4 — DOC SYNC (automatic)
Load $HOME/.claude/agents/doc-syncer.md.
Execute in automatic mode:
auto-mode scope: <list of files modified during this session>
STEP 5 — CAPITALIZE (memory registries, lightweight)
Hotfixes are often trivial (typo, config, import) — skip by default. But if the fix revealed something non-obvious:
- Wrong default that should never have been merged → propose
LRN-XXXin.claude/memory/learnings.md. - Bug that cost real time to locate despite being "superficial" → propose
BLK-XXXin.claude/memory/blockers.md(status: resolved).
Default behaviour: CAPITALIZE: hotfix trivial, skip (no prompt, no output).
Ask the user only when there is an actual candidate to propose.
Always append a 1-line entry to today's heading in .claude/memory/journal.md (even trivial hotfix — journal is timeline, not signal).
Language rule: the journal line and any proposed BLK/LRN entries are ALWAYS written in English (see CLAUDE.md "Memory registries" § Language).
RULES
- Max 2 files changed. If more needed →
/bugfix. - No refactoring. No "while we're here" improvements.
- Design gate only if CSS/style signals detected. See STEP 1.5.
- If root cause is unclear → escalate to
/bugfix. - If fix touches >5 lines of logic → reconsider if this is truly a hotfix.
