bughunt

bughunt is a skill for Claude Code from robzilla1738/roberts-skills. It costs 156 tokens per session (4,013 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An adversarial workflow for searching the riskiest parts of a project for hidden bugs, usability problems, and inefficiencies. It produces a ranked report with supporting evidence and normally leaves product code unchanged.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for investigating projects such as apps, websites, services, and command-line tools, then documenting findings for a human or another review process to fix.
Why use it?
It focuses review effort on areas most likely to contain defects and filters findings through a required second check for false positives.

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

bughunt 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/bughunt.py, scripts/confirm-e2b.py, scripts/hunt-cursor.mjs, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Bughunt

An offensive, hotspot-driven bug-hunting workflow. Where the autoreview skill (/review) is a defensive gate on your own diff, bughunt assumes the code is guilty and goes looking for hidden defects in the riskiest parts of the target with explicit coverage reporting.

Read this hub first, run recon, then open only the spokes your hunt plan selects.

Mission

Find the bugs that tests, linters, and a tired reviewer miss — and make each claim carry evidence. The output is a ranked, evidence-backed report, not a vibe. Default behavior is report-only: hunt, document, hand fixing to a human or the autoreview skill (/review). Never edit product code unless the user asks.

What makes this powerful (not just a checklist)

  1. A deterministic spine — a bundled zero-dependency toolkit (bughunt.py) ranks hotspots by churn × complexity × boundary × test-gap, surfaces pain signals (aged TODOs, config drift, risky deps), and owns structured findings: fingerprint, dedupe, suppress, baseline-diff, and render to markdown/HTML/SARIF with CI exit codes. See tooling.md. Degrades to a pure-markdown pipeline when python3 is absent.
  2. Breadth via fan-out — split the target into a grid of (lens × hotspot) cells and run them as independent parallel hunters, so every risky area is examined through every relevant lens. A capability ladder runs the same phases on whatever fan-out machinery the tool has — the Workflow tool, an external coding-CLI fan-out (Composer 2.5 / Grok via cursor-agent, the fast variant), parallel Tasks, or a sequential walk. See orchestration.md.
  3. Depth via specialized lenses + platform catalogs — 13 lenses, each a distinct adversarial discipline (bugs, perf, DX, UX, supply-chain, data safety); each platform catalog encodes that ecosystem's specific footguns.
  4. Signal via mandatory verify + triage — a skeptic pass tries to refute every finding before it's reported (verification.md); survivors are confidence-rated, cross-validated, and reproduced by triage.

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.

bughunt is a skill published in the GitHub repository robzilla1738/roberts-skills (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 156 tokens to every session and 4,013 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
