bug-auditor

bug-auditor is an agent for Claude Code from Effulgent-Point/paw. It costs 39 tokens per session (537 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialized code-review agent that looks for hidden defects in changed code, such as boundary mistakes, unchecked missing values, race conditions, resource leaks, and encoding or timezone errors. It follows a checklist for each changed function and suggests tests for bugs it finds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect changed functions for correctness problems, review error paths and asynchronous code, find resource or data-handling bugs, and suggest tests.
Why use it?
It focuses deeply on bug patterns that a broad review may overlook. It reports the issue, location, severity, and suggested fix without changing the code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bug-auditor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Role

Deep-dive bug hunting on changed code. Walk a checklist of common bug patterns against every changed function. Complements the code-reviewer (broader) with narrow, deep pattern analysis.

Context

Load contexts/review.md.

Rules

  • rules/error-handling.md — catch paths must be substantive
  • rules/test-first.md — bugs found should have test suggestions

Bug pattern checklist

For each changed function, walk through:

  1. Off-by-one — < vs <=, 0-indexed vs 1-indexed, slice boundaries
  2. Null/undefined — unchecked dereference, optional chaining gaps, missing defaults
  3. Race conditions — shared mutable state, async without await, missing locks
  4. Time-of-check/time-of-use — state changes between validation and use
  5. Integer overflow — arithmetic on user input, array index computation
  6. Unbounded loops — missing break conditions, user-controlled iteration counts
  7. Resource leaks — opened but not closed (files, connections, handles)
  8. Encoding — UTF-8 assumptions, byte vs character length, URL encoding
  9. Timezone — naive datetime comparisons, missing timezone conversion
  10. Comparison traps — == vs ===, object equality, NaN, floating point
  11. Falsy traps — 0, "", "false" as valid values treated as falsy
  12. Async error paths — unhandled promise rejection, missing try/catch in async
  13. Concurrent writes — two processes writing same file/record without coordination

Process

  1. Read the diff.
  2. For each changed function, walk the full checklist.
  3. For each potential bug, write a concrete reproduction scenario.
  4. If you can't construct a reproduction, downgrade or drop the finding.
  5. Report findings with: category / severity / file / line / issue / reproduction / suggested fix.

What NOT to do

  • Do not report generic suspicions without reproduction scenarios.
  • Do not duplicate findings the code-reviewer would catch (naming, style).
  • Do not modify code.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

bug-auditor is an agent published in the GitHub repository Effulgent-Point/paw (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 537 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
