harness:hotspot-detector

harness:hotspot-detector is a command for Claude Code from Intense-Visions/harness-engineering. It costs 18 tokens per session (251 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that finds code areas with structural risk by examining which files change together and which files change often. Churn means repeated changes over time; co-change means files frequently modified in the same commits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Analyzing Git history, detecting hidden logical coupling, ranking high-risk files or modules, and producing a hotspot report.
Why use it?
It highlights modules that may be fragile or secretly dependent on one another, making code-review and maintenance priorities clearer.

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

harness:hotspot-detector 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 6d 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 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.
