bug-magnet-data

bug-magnet-data is a skill for Claude Code from QBall-Inc/the-bulwark. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,704 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference collection of carefully chosen unusual and boundary-value inputs for testing. Boundary testing checks what happens at limits, such as empty values, maximum sizes, or unusual formats.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding gaps in test coverage, generating verification scenarios, and checking fixes against boundary conditions.
Why use it?
It gives test and verification workflows realistic edge cases that random data may miss.

    Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

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-magnet-data 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 9d 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 Magnet Data

Curated edge case test data for boundary testing, verification scripts, and test generation. 50+ years of testing wisdom distilled into small, high-signal collections organized by data type.

Core Principle: Curation beats generation. 50 well-chosen edge cases find more bugs than 10,000 random inputs.


When to Use This Skill

Load this skill when the consumer request matches ANY of these patterns:

Consumer Trigger Usage
test-audit Step 7 (edge case gap detection) Identify missing boundary test coverage
bulwark-verify Generating verification scripts Inject edge cases into test scenarios
bulwark-fix-validator Validating a fix Test fix against boundary conditions

DO NOT use for:

  • Encrypted/compressed data (edge cases won't penetrate wrapping)
  • Pure unit tests with fully mocked dependencies (edge cases need real execution)
  • Performance/load testing (use dedicated load testing tools)

Pre-Flight Gate (BLOCKING)

STOP. Before providing ANY edge case data, you MUST follow the three-phase workflow.

This skill provides curated data through a deterministic workflow. You must execute all phases.

What You MUST Do

  1. Phase 1: Component Detection - Identify component type and load context file
  2. Phase 2: Data Loading - Load T0 + T1 data files (REQUIRED), T2 if specified by context
  3. Phase 3: Edge Case Application - Apply edge cases and report what was loaded

What You MUST NOT Do

  • Do NOT generate edge cases from your own knowledge - use the curated data files
  • Do NOT skip loading context files - they determine which categories apply
  • Do NOT skip the safety filter - patterns marked safe_for_automation: false must be excluded
  • Do NOT return partial data - all applicable tiers must be loaded

Why This Matters

The curated data exists because:

  • Curation beats generation - 50 well-chosen edge cases find more bugs than 10,000 random inputs
  • Reproducibility - Same component type = same edge cases every time
  • Safety - Destructive patterns are explicitly marked and filtered

bug-magnet-data is a skill published in the GitHub repository QBall-Inc/the-bulwark (8 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 2,704 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.
