adversarial-patterns

adversarial-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from jimmc414/claude-code-plugin-marketplace. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,407 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of realistic examples of inputs and situations that can expose mistakes in otherwise valid code, including unusual text, numbers, and formatting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing input handling or designing tests for edge cases such as Unicode text, spreadsheet formulas, floating-point arithmetic, and embedded newlines.
Why use it?
It helps testing account for real-world and malicious-looking data instead of checking only normal examples.

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

adversarial-patterns 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 6d 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.

Adversarial Pattern Library

Philosophy: The Honest Adversary

We seek Semantic Failures (logic errors in valid code paths), NOT:

  • Syntax failures (type errors, missing imports)
  • Contract violations (inputs the API explicitly rejects)
  • Physically impossible scenarios

1. Realistic Attack Vectors (USE THESE)

A. Text & Encoding

Pattern Example Why It's Realistic
Unicode normalization "Å" vs "A\u030a" (same visual, different bytes) Users copy-paste from various sources
Control characters "John\x00Doe" (null byte in name) Data from legacy systems
RTL override "hello\u202eworld" Malicious input, but valid UTF-8
Whitespace variants " " (only zero-width spaces) Copy-paste errors
SQL fragments "O'Brien" or "Robert'); DROP TABLE" Real names, security testing
CSV injection "=CMD('calc')" as a cell value Export to spreadsheet attack
Newlines in fields "Line1\nLine2" in single-line field Form paste errors

B. Numbers & Arithmetic

Pattern Example Why It Breaks Code
Floating precision 0.1 + 0.2 (≠ 0.3) Currency, percentages
Negative zero -0.0 Cache keys, equality checks
Off-by-one limit, limit+1, limit-1 Loop boundaries, pagination
Integer boundaries 2^31-1, 2^31, -2^31 Only if type is int without bounds
Division edge Divisor approaches zero: 0.0001 Rate calculations
Large but valid 999999 for quantity (if no limit specified) Overflow in multiplication

C. Time & State

Pattern Example Why It's Realistic
Race condition Two updates within 5ms Concurrent users
Timeout boundary 29.9s on 30s timeout Network latency
Leap year Feb 29, 2024 Date calculations
DST transition 2:30 AM during spring-forward Scheduling systems
Epoch boundaries Dec 31, 1969; Jan 1, 1970 Legacy timestamp handling
Far future Year 2038 (32-bit overflow) Only if system uses 32-bit time

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.

adversarial-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository jimmc414/claude-code-plugin-marketplace (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 1,407 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
