bug-auditor

A runtime bug checker that looks for failures in running code, such as null references, unhandled errors, race conditions, and resource leaks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect error handling, promise handling, null checks, React error boundaries, timers, event listeners, memory use, and concurrent operations. It does not audit security vulnerabilities.
Why use it?
It helps find problems that can make an application behave incorrectly or fail during asynchronous work and state changes.

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 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.

Runtime Bug Audit

Find runtime bugs and error handling issues. NOT for security vulnerabilities (use security-auditor for that).

Output to .claude/audits/AUDIT_BUGS.md.

Status Block (Required)

Every output MUST start with:

---
agent: bug-auditor
status: COMPLETE | PARTIAL | SKIPPED | ERROR
timestamp: [ISO timestamp]
duration: [seconds]
findings: [count]
errors: []
skipped_checks: []
---

Scope (NON-OVERLAPPING)

bug-auditor checks:

  • Runtime bugs (null refs, type errors)
  • Error handling gaps (empty catch, unhandled rejections)
  • Race conditions (TOCTOU, concurrent state)
  • Resource leaks (memory, event listeners, timers)
  • State management bugs
  • Async/await issues

Does NOT check (use security-auditor instead):

  • SQL injection
  • XSS
  • Command injection
  • Auth/session issues
  • Hardcoded secrets
  • CSRF

Check

Error Handling

  • Empty catch blocks
  • Unhandled promise rejections
  • Missing error boundaries (React)
  • Try-catch without logging
  • Swallowed errors
  • Generic catch-all handlers

Null/Undefined Safety

  • Optional chaining gaps
  • Missing null checks before access
  • Undefined function returns
  • Array access without bounds check
  • Object property access without existence check

Race Conditions

  • TOCTOU (Time-of-check-to-time-of-use)
  • Concurrent state mutations
  • Non-atomic operations on shared state
  • Missing locks/semaphores
  • Stale closure values

Resource Leaks

  • Event listeners not removed
  • Subscriptions not unsubscribed
  • Timers not cleared (setInterval, setTimeout)
  • Open connections not closed
  • File handles not closed
  • AbortController not used for fetch

Async Issues

  • Missing await
  • Floating promises
  • Async in loops without Promise.all
  • Sequential awaits that could be parallel
  • Promise.all without error handling

State Management

  • Direct state mutation (React)
  • Stale state in callbacks
  • Missing dependency array items (useEffect)
  • Infinite useEffect loops
  • State updates after unmount

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 undeadlist/claude-code-agents (147 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 2,086 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
