vuln-diagnose

vuln-diagnose is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Rifteo/skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (678 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for turning a suspected software vulnerability into a small, repeatable test that clearly passes or fails.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify suspected XSS, IDOR, and similar vulnerabilities and to rule out explanations such as caching or rate limiting.
Why use it?
It separates confirmed security issues from false alarms before they are documented as findings.

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

vuln-diagnose 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 11d 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.

Vulnerability Diagnose

A suspected vulnerability is not a finding. Before writing anything, build a deterministic reproduction case. If you cannot reproduce it reliably, you cannot report it.

Inspired by the principle: a fast, deterministic, agent-runnable pass/fail signal is a superpower.

Process

Step 1 — State the Hypothesis

Write one sentence: "I believe [vulnerability type] exists at [endpoint/component] because [observed behaviour]."

This is the claim. Everything that follows either confirms or disproves it.

Step 2 — Build the Feedback Loop

Create the minimal test case that produces a binary YES/NO answer:

  • An HTTP request that succeeds when it shouldn't
  • A payload that executes when it shouldn't
  • A response that contains data it shouldn't

The test must be:

  • Reproducible — same result every time
  • Minimal — only the essential input, no noise
  • Unambiguous — pass is clearly different from fail

If you can't build this test case, the hypothesis is not testable yet. Stop and gather more information.

Step 3 — Test Alternate Explanations

Before confirming, rule out:

  • Caching (replay the request — is the result fresh?)
  • Rate limiting (does it fail on the 5th attempt?)
  • Session dependency (does it work with a fresh session?)
  • Race conditions (does it fail on a second run?)

Step 4 — Confirm the Impact

Actually demonstrate the worst-case impact:

  • For data access: retrieve data belonging to another user
  • For XSS: execute alert(document.domain) or exfiltrate a cookie
  • For SQLi: extract a row from a table not intended to be accessible
  • For privilege escalation: perform an admin action with a user token

A confirmed impact requires evidence (HTTP request + response, screenshot, extracted data).

Step 5 — Document

Produce a Minimal Reproduction Case:

Vulnerability: [type]
Endpoint: [METHOD] [URL]
Precondition: [e.g., logged in as user A]

Request:
[exact HTTP request]

Response:
[relevant snippet proving the issue]

Confirmed impact: [what was demonstrated]
Reproducible: YES / NO (notes if flaky)

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.

vuln-diagnose is a skill published in the GitHub repository Rifteo/skills (36 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 678 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.
