static-bug-detector

static-bug-detector is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 91 tokens per session (3,201 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A source-code checker that looks for likely functional bugs without running the program. It reports suspicious locations with explanations, severity, and confidence levels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect code for common logic and control-flow errors before they reach testing or production.
Why use it?
It helps find problems such as null-related crashes, faulty conditions, unreachable code, incorrect state changes, resource leaks, and type mismatches earlier.

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

static-bug-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 9d 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.

Static Bug Detector

Overview

Perform static analysis on source code to identify potential functional bugs. Detect common bug patterns, analyze control flow and data flow, and report suspicious locations with explanations, severity levels, and confidence assessments.

Bug Detection Workflow

Step 1: Understand the Code

Analyze the code structure and semantics:

  1. Identify language:

    • Determine programming language
    • Understand language-specific semantics
    • Note language idioms and conventions
  2. Parse code structure:

    • Functions/methods
    • Classes/types
    • Control flow (if, loops, etc.)
    • Data flow (assignments, returns)
  3. Build context:

    • Variable declarations and types
    • Function signatures
    • Class hierarchies
    • Dependencies
  4. Identify scope:

    • What code to analyze
    • Entry points
    • Critical paths

Step 2: Detect Bug Patterns

Scan for common bug patterns:

  1. Null dereference bugs:

    • Variables from nullable sources
    • Dereferences without null checks
    • Null checks after use
    • Undocumented null returns
  2. Incorrect conditions:

    • Always true/false conditions
    • Assignment in condition (= vs ==)
    • Redundant conditions
    • Inverted logic
    • Wrong operators
  3. Unreachable code:

    • Code after return/throw
    • Always-false branches
    • Dead code paths
  4. Inconsistent state:

    • Partial state updates
    • Updates without validation
    • Non-atomic operations
    • Broken invariants
  5. Logic errors:

    • Off-by-one errors
    • Wrong operator precedence
    • Infinite loops
    • Incorrect boolean logic
  6. Resource issues:

    • Resource leaks
    • Double free/close
    • Use after free/close
  7. Type issues:

    • Type mismatches
    • Implicit coercion
    • Invalid casts

Step 3: Analyze Severity

Assess the impact of each bug:

High Severity:

  • Causes crashes or exceptions
  • Data corruption
  • Security vulnerabilities
  • Guaranteed runtime errors

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

static-bug-detector is a skill published in the GitHub repository ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE (252 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 3,201 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-09-03.
