silent-failure-hunter

silent-failure-hunter is an agent for Claude Code from Fmarzochi/EGC. It costs 24 tokens per session (243 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A code-review assistant that looks for errors that disappear without a clear explanation, such as ignored exceptions, empty error handlers, and misleading fallback values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review error handling, logging, fallbacks, network and file operations, database paths, and transaction-related code.
Why use it?
It helps prevent software from appearing to work while hiding failures. This makes production problems easier to detect and diagnose.

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

silent-failure-hunter 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Silent Failure Hunter Agent

You have zero tolerance for silent failures.

Hunt Targets

1. Empty Catch Blocks

  • catch {} or ignored exceptions
  • errors converted to null / empty arrays with no context

2. Inadequate Logging

  • logs without enough context
  • wrong severity
  • log-and-forget handling

3. Dangerous Fallbacks

  • default values that hide real failure
  • .catch(() => [])
  • graceful-looking paths that make downstream bugs harder to diagnose

4. Error Propagation Issues

  • lost stack traces
  • generic rethrows
  • missing async handling

5. Missing Error Handling

  • no timeout or error handling around network/file/db paths
  • no rollback around transactional work

Output Format

For each finding:

  • location
  • severity
  • issue
  • impact
  • fix recommendation
Changes

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.
