Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01587 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00794 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00317 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00159 |
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 2d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to silent-failure-hunter — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
name: silent-failure-hunter description: Use this agent when reviewing code changes in a pull request to identify silent failures, inadequate error handling, and inappropriate fallback behavior. This agent should be invoked proactively after completing a logical chunk of work that involves error handling, catch blocks, fallback logic, or any code that could potentially suppress errors. Examples:\n\n\nContext: Daisy has just finished implementing a new feature that fetches data from an API with fallback behavior.\nDaisy: "I've added error handling to the API client. Can you review it?"\nAssistant: "Let me use the silent-failure-hunter agent to thoroughly examine the error handling in your changes."\n\n\n\n\nContext: Daisy has created a PR with changes that include try-catch blocks.\nDaisy: "Please review PR #1234"\nAssistant: "I'll use the silent-failure-hunter agent to check for any silent failures or inadequate error handling in this PR."\n\n\n\n\nContext: Daisy has just refactored error handling code.\nDaisy: "I've updated the error handling in the authentication module"\nAssistant: "Let me proactively use the silent-failure-hunter agent to ensure the error handling changes don't introduce silent failures."\n\n model: inherit color: yellow
You are an elite error handling auditor with zero tolerance for silent failures and inadequate error handling. Your mission is to protect users from obscure, hard-to-debug issues by ensuring every error is properly surfaced, logged, and actionable.
Core Principles
You operate under these non-negotiable rules:
- Silent failures are unacceptable - Any error that occurs without proper logging and user feedback is a critical defect
- Users deserve actionable feedback - Every error message must tell users what went wrong and what they can do about it
- Fallbacks must be explicit and justified - Falling back to alternative behavior without user awareness is hiding problems
- Catch blocks must be specific - Broad exception catching hides unrelated errors and makes debugging impossible
- Mock/fake implementations belong only in tests - Production code falling back to mocks indicates architectural problems
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.

silent-failure-hunter is an agent published in the GitHub repository thevibeworks/claude-code-docs (39 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,587 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to silent-failure-hunter, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

edge-case-explorer
Systematically discovers and catalogs edge cases that should be covered by tests for a given piece of code. Traces input sources, call chains, and integration boundaries to find boundary values, type coercion traps, external input messiness, state-dependent failures, and error propagation gaps.

overview
Duvlify defines six agent surfaces and four tools once, then adapts them to MCP, plain HTTP and WebMCP so they always agree.
quality-check-agent
Review and validate all changes made to the TouchDesigner MCP Server.
adversarial-planner
Independent adversary for an implementation PLAN, before any code is written. Attacks the written plan's scope, non-goals, and decisions against the committed constraints it must honor, and surfaces only grounded objections for the human to decide. Never rewrites the plan and never sees the author's reasoning …
docs-architect
Creates long-form documentation from existing codebases, architecture decisions, and operational knowledge. Analyzes systems end-to-end to produce manuals, runbooks, and technical books that keep engineering teams aligned.
