scan-for-defects-semantic

scan-for-defects-semantic is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HuginnIndustries/CodeCartographer. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,040 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A focused code review for bugs involving concurrency, resource handling, security boundaries, API agreements, and state-machine behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps check code against documented contracts and protocols after the architecture and earlier mechanical checks are available.
Why use it?
These problems often cannot be identified reliably without knowing what the system promises to do and how its states and events should work.

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-semantic 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 today.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scan For Defects — Semantic Pass

This phase runs the deep, semantic half of the defect-scan methodology. The findings here only become legible once you know what the code is supposed to do — that is what the contracts and protocols phases give you. The early mechanical bugs (passes 1, 2, 6) were caught in the earlier defect-scan-mechanical phase.

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

Prerequisites

Required:

  • findings/architecture/architecture-map.md
  • findings/contracts/behavioral-contracts.md — pass 5 needs this to define "violation."
  • findings/protocols/protocols-and-state.md — passes 3 and 5 need this for state machine and event-ordering analysis.
  • findings/defect-scan-mechanical/mechanical-defects.md — read so you do not re-flag what the mechanical phase already covered.

If any prerequisite is missing, stop and surface the gap. The semantic pass is the paid-for benefit of running the mechanical phase early; do not regress it by running the semantic pass blind.

Pass Execution Order

Run these three passes sequentially. Read the pass file, scan the source, record findings, then move to the next pass. Each pass file is reused from the legacy defect-scan phase.

Pass File Focus
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

Prioritization

Use the contracts and protocols outputs to decide emphasis:

  • No concurrency model in protocols? Skim pass 3, focus elsewhere.
  • No auth system in contracts? Skip the auth sections of pass 4, still check input validation.
  • Heavy state machine in protocols? Spend extra time on pass 5.
  • Many features in contracts marked "core" or "important"? Pass 5 spec-vs-impl drift on those is high-value.

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-semantic is a skill published in the GitHub repository HuginnIndustries/CodeCartographer (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 1,040 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
