blindspot

blindspot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hiendinhngoc/unknowns. It costs 63 tokens per session (665 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only reconnaissance pass over an unfamiliar codebase, system, or feature area. It identifies hidden risks and unknowns before implementation begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before risky changes or when you need to scan a system for overlooked risks and missing information.
Why use it?
It helps reveal dangerous failure paths early without changing project files.

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

blindspot 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Blindspot Pass

Find the unknowns in a system BEFORE touching it. Reconnaissance only.

Read-only. Do not edit, create, or delete any project file. No fixes, however tempting.

Tip for the user (mention once at the start): running this pass in plan mode or a read-only permission mode makes the rule enforced by the harness, not just promised by the model.

Process

  1. Identify the target. Use the argument or infer the directory/system/feature from conversation. If no target is discernible, ask for one — don't guess.
  2. Name the domain, derive its dangerous paths. Before scanning, state in one line what kind of system the target is, and list the 2–3 failure classes that domain actually bleeds from. The generic list below is a backend-shaped floor, not a ceiling — a native UI app bleeds from accessibility gaps, lifecycle/identity bugs, and state-restoration loss; a data pipeline from loss, duplication, and ordering; a CLI from argument edge cases and exit codes. Findings should come from the derived list first.
  3. Explore. Use the agent's file-search/read tools (Glob/Grep/Read, rg/find/cat, or equivalent) and git log for churn hotspots to understand the target. Look for the domain-derived risks from step 2, plus:
    • Hidden coupling: modules that import each other's internals, shared mutable state, implicit ordering dependencies
    • Unowned edge cases: error paths that swallow exceptions, TODO/FIXME/HACK comments, empty catch blocks
    • Stale assumptions: config or constants that encode outdated facts, comments contradicting code, dead feature flags
    • Missing tests around dangerous paths: money, auth, deletion, migrations, concurrency — anything irreversible with no test coverage
    • Churn hotspots: files with many recent fixes (git log --oneline --no-merges -- <path>, ignoring generated files: lockfiles, *.pbxproj, build outputs — their churn is noise)
  4. Report up to 7 findings, ranked by risk (highest first). If fewer than 5 real risks are found, say so instead of padding.

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.

blindspot is a skill published in the GitHub repository hiendinhngoc/unknowns (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 665 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
