bug-hunt

A bug-finding workflow that sends separate review agents across different parts of the Selectools project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a full or targeted review of the core agent, providers, tools, retrieval, memory, evaluations, or security code.
Why use it?
It checks many subsystems systematically, making it easier to find correctness problems, regressions, missing error handling, and security issues before release.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

bug-hunt 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 3d 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.

Bug Hunt

Deploy parallel QA sub-agents to find bugs. Scope: $ARGUMENTS

If no scope, default to "all".

Resolve Scope

  • all → deploy 7 agents (one per subsystem below)
  • agent → 1 agent: core loop, config, mixins, streaming, batch
  • providers → 1 agent: all 5 providers, fallback, circuit breaker, _openai_compat
  • tools → 1 agent: tool system, decorators, loader, registry, toolbox, MCP bridge
  • rag → 1 agent: loaders, chunking, hybrid search, BM25, reranker, vector stores, embeddings
  • memory → 1 agent: ConversationMemory, sessions, entity memory, knowledge graph, knowledge stores
  • evals → 1 agent: evaluators, suite, report, regression, pairwise, snapshot, badges, CLI
  • security → 1 agent: guardrails, audit, screening, coherence, policy, injection patterns

Agent Template

Each agent should read the source files for its subsystem, then look for:

1. Correctness Bugs

  • Type mismatches — function signatures don't match callers (e.g. missing tools=None)
  • Async/sync inconsistencyarun()/astream() missing features that run() has (pitfall #12)
  • None handlingresponse_msg.content used without or "" guard (pitfall #7)
  • Race conditions — shared mutable state in batch()/abatch() without locks. These are invisible to sequential tests. Key targets: circuit breakers, caches, vector stores, batch runners. Mental test: "what if two threads call this simultaneously?"
  • Resource leaksThreadPoolExecutor() created per call instead of shared. Fix: module-level lazy singleton.

2. API Contract Violations

  • Provider protocolstream()/astream() not passing tools parameter (pitfall #1)
  • ToolCall stringification — streaming paths converting ToolCall objects to strings (pitfall #2)
  • Observer events — missing run_id in observer calls, or events not firing in all 3 loop methods
  • StepType consistency — trace steps using string literals instead of StepType.ENUM_NAME
  • _effective_model — any remaining self.config.model in _provider_caller.py (should all be self._effective_model)

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.

bug-hunt is a skill published in the GitHub repository johnnichev/selectools (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,566 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 2026-08-30.
