evidence-hygiene

evidence-hygiene is a skill for Claude Code from elementalsouls/Claude-BugHunter. It costs 190 tokens per session (4,327 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for safely capturing and cleaning up proof of security bugs before sending it to a bug-bounty program. It covers screenshots, exported HAR files, HTTP requests, and terminal output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when recording a proof of concept, hiding sensitive browser data, masking personal details, or preparing screenshots and network files for a bug-bounty submission.
Why use it?
It helps prevent session cookies, API keys, and other users’ personal information from being exposed in evidence. It also keeps reports focused on information useful to the person reviewing the bug.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

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

evidence-hygiene 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 12d 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.

EVIDENCE HYGIENE — PoC Capture & Redaction Discipline

Use this skill BEFORE capturing any screenshot, exporting any HAR, or attaching any evidence to a bug-bounty submission. It catches the most common evidence-hygiene mistakes that cause cookies to leak, PII to be shared without consent, or screenshots to be unsuitable for triage.

The core principle: Bug-bounty evidence is meant to convince a triager. Anything beyond that — live cookies, real-user PII, internal trace IDs that aren't useful — should not be in the evidence.


1. Two Categories of Sensitive Data

Every PoC artifact (screenshot, HAR, raw HTTP request, terminal transcript) potentially contains data that needs different treatment.

Category Examples Treatment
Your-account secrets Session cookies, OAuth tokens, refresh tokens, API keys Always redact. Even in private bug-bounty platform attachments. Your account, your session — protect it.
Other users' PII Real names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, profile photos, account IDs Redact unless explicitly demonstrating cross-account impact. Even then, mask faces and minimize the data you display.
Triager-useful metadata Trace IDs (x-datadog-trace-id), request IDs, server timestamps, your test account UID/email, GraphQL operation names, response shapes Leave visible — these help the triager correlate to logs and reproduce.
Test-account passwords (limited use) Throwaway passwords on a test account (e.g., Testing@5678) Acceptable in screenshots if you rotate immediately after submission so the value shown is dead. Don't leave real-use passwords in evidence.

2.1 What must be masked

The session cookie value is the highest-value secret in any PoC. Mask:

  • The session cookie (authn, session, sid, __Secure-id, etc. — name varies per target)
  • csrf-token if it's bound to your session
  • Authorization headers (Bearer tokens, JWT)
  • Cookie request header values for any session-bearing cookie
  • Set-Cookie response header values for any session-bearing cookie

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.
