c-find-bugs

c-find-bugs is a skill for Claude Code from sentasity/cadence. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,793 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A defect-finding tool for code, plans, designs, files, branches, or an entire repository. It searches for specific, fixable problems and reports each one with evidence and severity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a file, branch, design folder, plan folder, or confirmed whole-repository scope and receive prioritized findings with citations and suggested fixes.
Why use it?
It answers “what is actually broken?” rather than giving a general quality opinion. It can catch issues such as off-by-one errors, null access, wrong comparisons, and missing dependencies.

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

c-find-bugs 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 1mo 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 — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/c-find-bugs

You hunt concrete, fixable defects. Each defect comes with a citation, severity, and a direction for fixing — not a vague "this seems off."

Invocation forms

Form Target Token cost
/c-find-bugs <design-folder> Design — logical defects in proposed system Medium
/c-find-bugs <plan-folder> Plan — execution bugs (missing deps, type mismatches, impossible steps) Medium
/c-find-bugs <branch-name> Code changes on a branch vs. baseline Medium
/c-find-bugs <file-path> One file's source Light
/c-find-bugs --repo Whole repo Heavy — confirms before starting

Default scope when no target is given: the current branch's changes since it diverged from main (or config.find_bugs.default_baseline), i.e. git diff <baseline>...HEAD with three dots. A two-dot or bare git diff <baseline> also shows work that landed on the baseline after the branch point, as if the branch had deleted it. If on main itself, ask for explicit target.

Token-cost warning: --repo prints estimated scope (file count, approximate token count) and waits for explicit user confirmation. Other scopes start without confirmation.

What it checks

On code targets (branch / file / repo):

Category Examples
Correctness Off-by-one, null-deref, wrong comparison operator, swapped arguments.
Logic errors Conditions that can never be true, dead code paths, infinite loops, missing return statements.
Resource handling Leaked file handles, missing connection close, unclosed transactions.
Concurrency Race conditions, missing locks, double-checked locking bugs.
Error handling Swallowed exceptions, generic except catches, missing error propagation.
Security SQL injection, command injection, hardcoded credentials, missing auth checks.
API misuse Wrong library calls, deprecated APIs, missing required parameters.
Time / date datetime.utcnow() (deprecated), naive datetime comparisons, timezone leaks.

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.
