nit

nit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from koolamusic/claudefiles. It costs 52 tokens per session (906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automated code review that uses three separate agents to look for bugs, question suspected problems, and confirm which findings are real.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a whole project or a selected target for bugs, verify reported issues, and ignore known findings through a project ignore file.
Why use it?
It reduces false alarms by having findings checked independently. It also lets you record intentional or already-fixed findings so they can be skipped later.

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

nit 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 — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nit - Adversarial Bug Finding

Run a 3-agent adversarial nit hunt on your codebase. Each agent runs in isolation.

Target

The scan target is: $ARGUMENTS

If no target was specified, scan the current working directory.

Triage (Nit Ignore)

Nit respects a project-level ignore file at .claude/nitignore.md. This file tracks:

  • intentional — findings that are by design (won't fix)
  • remediated — findings that have already been fixed

Entries use a rule field formatted as category::description (e.g. security::hardcoded-token). Nit matches on file + rule to skip known findings.

A template is available at ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/nitignore-template.md.

Execution Steps

You MUST follow these steps in exact order. Each agent runs as a separate subagent via the Agent tool to ensure context isolation.

Step 1: Read the prompt files and check for ignore list

Read these files using the skill directory variable:

  • ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/prompts/hunter.md
  • ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/prompts/skeptic.md
  • ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/prompts/referee.md

Also check if .claude/nitignore.md exists in the project root. If it does, read it and pass the ignore entries to each agent so they can skip already-triaged findings.

Step 2: Run the Hunter Agent

Launch a general-purpose subagent with the hunter prompt. Include the scan target in the agent's task. The Hunter must use tools (Read, Glob, Grep) to examine the actual code.

Wait for the Hunter to complete and capture its full output.

Step 2b: Check for findings

If the Hunter reported TOTAL FINDINGS: 0, skip Steps 3-4 and go directly to Step 5 with a clean report. No need to run Skeptic and Referee on zero findings.

Step 3: Run the Skeptic Agent

Launch a NEW general-purpose subagent with the skeptic prompt. Inject the Hunter's structured bug list (BUG-IDs, files, lines, claims, evidence, severity, points). Do NOT include any narrative or methodology text outside the structured findings.

The Skeptic must independently read the code to verify each claim.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

nit is a skill published in the GitHub repository koolamusic/claudefiles (132 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 906 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 2026-08-30.
