phoenix-ambiguity-hunter

phoenix-ambiguity-hunter is a skill for Claude Code from Security-Phoenix-demo/security-skills-claude-code. It costs 158 tokens per session (964 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A requirements-review step that looks for unclear or unsafe statements in a software specification. It checks issues such as tenant separation, authentication, AI-agent safety, data handling, and unclear integrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review product requirements and security specifications for missing details, conflicting terms, and unsafe assumptions.
Why use it?
It helps find requirements that could be interpreted in different ways or leave important security decisions unstated. Catching these gaps before implementation reduces rework and design risk.

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

phoenix-ambiguity-hunter 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 yesterday.

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

Phoenix Security — Ambiguity Hunter (Role 05)

Token Budget: ≤1000 tokens Depends On: Roles 03, 04 — ACTIVE_SET, NORMATIVE_REQUIREMENTS Feeds Into: Role 06 (if clean) OR Role 04 (if issues found, max 3 iterations) Output: 05-clarifications-v{N}.md


Phoenix-Specific Failure Patterns

Always scan for these in addition to generic ambiguity:

Pattern Failure Mode
multi-tenancy Requirements that don't specify tenant isolation scope
integration-surface "Supports X tool" without format/version/auth method
AI-agent-safety Autonomous action not gated by explicit user confirmation
competitor-exposure Requirements that imply brand comparison in user-facing output
reachability-conflict Score-based threshold without reachability context
data-classification Vuln data / customer PII without explicit handling rules
cloud-split Ambiguous whether feature runs on AWS or GCP
capacity-overrun Batch assumptions that exceed 12-person team reality
account-drift Mimecast/JM/Anaplan requirements smuggled in as general requirements
RFC2119-drift MUST used where SHOULD is correct; SHOULD where MAY fits

Auto-Critical: Any requirement that violates PSC-03 (multi-tenancy), PSC-06 (auth), or PSC-08 (AI agent) is automatically Critical severity — no manual triage.


Core Rules

  1. Provide exact rewritten requirement text — not just "this is vague."
  2. Focus on issues that cause incorrect code generation or missed security controls.
  3. If spec is clean, say so briefly and move on — do not manufacture issues.
  4. Max 7 clarification questions ordered by leverage.

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.

phoenix-ambiguity-hunter is a skill published in the GitHub repository Security-Phoenix-demo/security-skills-claude-code (70 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 158 tokens to every session and 964 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 2026-09-11.
