scan-for-defects

scan-for-defects is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HuginnIndustries/CodeCartographer. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,139 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A multi-step code review that looks for defects in logic, error handling, concurrent operations, security, API agreements, and configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps audit an unfamiliar codebase for correctness, security, reliability, and mismatches between the code and its expected behavior.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that important bugs or unsafe behavior remain hidden after the code’s structure is understood.

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

scan-for-defects 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 4d 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scan For Defects

This phase runs six sequential analysis passes, each focused on one category of defect. Read and execute the passes in the order listed below. Do not try to cover all categories at once — complete each pass before starting the next.

The source code to analyze is in the parent directory (../ relative to .codecarto/). This is the repository root.

Prerequisites

Required: Read findings/architecture/architecture-map.md before starting. You need the layer map, public surfaces, and concurrency model to know where to focus.

Optional but valuable: If the following files exist, read them before starting passes 5 and 4 respectively. They provide the behavioral spec to compare code against:

  • findings/contracts/behavioral-contracts.md — enables spec-grounded analysis in passes 4 and 5.
  • findings/protocols/protocols-and-state.md — enables state machine violation detection in pass 5.

If these files do not exist, the passes still work — they fall back to comparing code against its own documentation (docstrings, type signatures, comments, README).

Pass Execution Order

Run these passes sequentially. Read the pass file, scan the source, record findings, then move to the next pass.

Pass File Focus
1 findings/defect-scan/passes/01-logic-and-correctness.md Dead code, boundary errors, null handling, boolean logic, control flow
2 findings/defect-scan/passes/02-error-handling.md Swallowed errors, missing cleanup, uncaught exceptions, retry gaps
3 findings/defect-scan/passes/03-concurrency-and-resources.md Race conditions, lock issues, async pitfalls, resource leaks
4 findings/defect-scan/passes/04-security-and-trust.md Input validation, auth gaps, secrets in code, trust boundaries
5 findings/defect-scan/passes/05-api-contract-violations.md Spec vs. implementation drift, return type mismatches, state machine violations
6 findings/defect-scan/passes/06-config-and-environment.md Hardcoded values, missing validation, dangerous defaults, OS assumptions

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.

scan-for-defects is a skill published in the GitHub repository HuginnIndustries/CodeCartographer (4 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 1,139 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.
