blast-radius

blast-radius is a skill for Claude Code from HuntsDesk/ve-kit. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,911 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only workflow for examining what parts of a codebase a risky change may affect. It searches code and configuration, then requires a concrete command to support the safety conclusion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before changes to databases, access rules, payments, authentication, infrastructure, settings, hooks, or shared modules to map affected code and verify one safety claim.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of missing callers, state changes, default values, or other systems that could break after a migration, authentication change, payment change, or shared-code change.

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

blast-radius 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 5d 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 — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/blast-radius — evidence, then one proven safety fact

The script gathers evidence. You supply the judgment: read what it flagged, say "This is safe because ", and prove that fact by executing something. An argument is not a proof; a passing command is.

Three disciplines sit under it: read every reader to the point where state actually changes, scope a fix by concept rather than by directory (and check parameter defaults, not just call sites), and treat an empty result as a claim about the search, not a fact about the system.

0. Setup

The engine is scripts/blast-radius.sh, a generic, read-only script; every project fact lives in its config, .claude/blast-radius.conf (format: the CONFIG block in the engine's header). It needs git, jq and ast-grep (sg); ripgrep is optional (it falls back to git grep). With no config, every run reports PROBE_FAILED=config and exits 2. bash scripts/blast-radius.sh --self-test proves the config parser, its fail-closed reasons and the never_read refusal, reading nothing.

1. Run the script

Pick the mode that matches the change. Pass $ARGUMENTS through when the user gave one.

Change Command
Staged, about to commit bash scripts/blast-radius.sh --staged
Unstaged edits or a planned change bash scripts/blast-radius.sh --files <paths>
Commits, e.g. before a push bash scripts/blast-radius.sh --range <base>..HEAD, where <base> is the branch you push to (e.g. origin/main)

Run it in full mode (no --brief); --brief is for hooks. Add --guards before a production push to also run the config's banned_guard script.

Exit 2 means a probe failed, not that nothing was found. Each PROBE_FAILED=<name> line names the blind spot. Fix the cause (missing sg/jq/ripgrep, bad range), or run that probe by hand, before you rely on any key it feeds. IMPORTERS=UNKNOWN and TABLES=UNSEARCHED are unknowns, never zeros. So are KEY=SKIPPED(not configured: <directive>) (the config does not cover that probe) and a value prefixed UNCONTROLLED(no <directive>): (a search with no positive control). PROBE_FAILED=config (<reason>) means .claude/blast-radius.conf failed to load, and nothing was evaluated.

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.
