scan

A read-only code review that searches resting code for bugs, then checks each possible finding in a separate pass before reporting it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a file, feature, code change, or rotating area of a project for verified bugs.
Why use it?
It helps find defects before someone has reported a failure, while filtering out guesses and false alarms.

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 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 2d 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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pre-computed context

Current branch: !git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown" Recent commits: !git log --oneline -10 2>/dev/null || echo "no history (shallow or fresh clone)" Shallow clone: !git rev-parse --is-shallow-repository 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown" Lane config: !ls "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}/.claude/bugs.md" 2>/dev/null || echo "absent — bundled default lanes apply"

Purpose

/bugs:scan is the front of the bug lifecycle: it hunts defects nobody has observed yet, in code that is resting. Every other finding-producer in reach needs an oracle first, a diff, a failing test, a stack trace, a factual claim, a comment marker. This one needs none of them.

One invocation is one bounded pass: hunt a target (or a rotated lane), verify each candidate through a separate fresh-context gate, report what survives in the plugin's five-field shape, stop. That makes it equally usable interactively ("find a bug in the billing module"), from a /loop, or as a daily operator routine, the same bounded unit either way.

The design premise, taken from published practice: per-run recall is low and the raw false-positive rate is high, so recall and precision are separated into two stages. Hunters are told to be generous; the verification gate is told to refute. A finding that reaches the report survived an agent whose job was to kill it.

Verb contract. Read-only toward the repository

Bare invocation is read-only: it never edits code, never branches, never pushes, never files a tracker item. Filing sits behind --track, and model auto-invocation never supplies --track on its own. A user (or a standing lane rule) must ask for it.

Reconciliation: persisting the findings report and its cursor block under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA} is plugin-owned state, not target-repo mutation. The scanned repository's working tree, index, and history are untouched by a bare run. --dry-run goes further: it emits the findings to stdout and persists nothing. No report file, no cursor advance, no filing.

Files

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.

scan is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (12 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 244 tokens to every session and 3,928 once invoked, about $0.0012 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.
