ai-pair-hunting-with-claude

ai-pair-hunting-with-claude is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 58 tokens per session (3,190 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for using Claude Code as a partner during long-running, authorized bug-bounty testing. It organizes target notes, manages context between sessions, and keeps testing within the program’s stated scope.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up separate workspaces for targets, testing large numbers of API parameters, spotting response patterns, and documenting findings while the researcher makes final judgments.
Why use it?
It addresses lost context, repeated work, and accidental out-of-scope testing during overnight or multi-hour security research.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents; positional $N argument; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is - [`_shared/references/elite-chaining-strategy.md`](../_shared/references/elite-chaining-strategy.md) — Exploit chaining methodology and high-payout chain patte.

Good fit Setting up separate workspaces for targets, testing large numbers of API parameters, spotting response patterns, and documenting findings while the researcher makes final judgments.

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

ai-pair-hunting-with-claude 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 12d 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.

AI Pair Hunting with Claude

When to Use

  • When setting up Claude Code CLI to autonomously test a bug bounty target.
  • When running overnight / multi-hour autonomous hacking sessions.
  • When managing scope and context across multiple bug bounty programs.
  • When Claude is getting stuck in compaction loops or losing context mid-session.
  • When you need Claude to stay strictly within program scope.

Prerequisites

  • Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated
  • A defined bug bounty target with program policy
  • Separate workspace directory per target program
  • Understanding of Claude's context window limitations

Core Concept: Claude as a Pair Hunter

"AI is not your replacement. It is your Pair Hunter — it brings determinism (accuracy) and speed." — Critical Thinking Podcast, Ep. 166

Claude excels at:

  • Deterministic tasks: Testing every parameter in a 200-param API
  • Speed: Fuzzing/enumerating faster than manual testing
  • Pattern recognition: Spotting anomalies in large response sets
  • Documentation: Auto-generating reports from findings

Claude struggles with:

  • Creative intuition: "This feels wrong" — that is YOUR job
  • Out-of-scope judgment: Without explicit policy, Claude will test everything
  • Long context retention: After ~100k tokens, context degrades

Workflow

Phase 1: Per-Target Context Management

"For every target, create a separate folder. Put a .claudemd file in it with the program's policy and scope." — Episode 166 [51:20]

Directory structure:

programs/
├── example-corp/
│   ├── .claudemd           # ← THIS IS THE KEY FILE
│   ├── notes/
│   ├── leads/
│   ├── findings/
│   └── scripts/
├── another-target/
│   ├── .claudemd
│   └── ...

.claudemd template:

# Target: Example Corp Bug Bounty Program

## Program URL
https://hackerone.com/example-corp

## Scope — IN
- *.example.com
- api.example.com
- app.example.com (authenticated testing allowed)
- mobile-api.example.com

## Scope — OUT (DO NOT TEST)
- blog.example.com (third-party WordPress)
- status.example.com (StatusPage hosted)
- *.example.dev (staging — explicitly excluded)
- Any domain not listed above

## Rules of Engagement
- NO denial of service testing
- NO social engineering of employees
- NO accessing other users' data beyond proof of concept (read 1 record, stop)
- Rate limit: Max 10 requests/second
- Report vulnerabilities within 24 hours of confirmation

## Authentication
- Test account 1: [email protected] / [use env var AUTH_TOKEN_1]
- Test account 2: [email protected] / [use env var AUTH_TOKEN_2]
- API Key: [use env var EXAMPLE_CORP_API_KEY]

## Tech Stack (Known)
- Frontend: React 18 + Next.js
- Backend: Node.js + Express
- Database: PostgreSQL (inferred from error messages)
- CDN: Cloudflare
- Auth: OAuth 2.0 + JWT

## Priority Targets
1. `/api/v2/users/*` — IDOR testing
2. `/api/v2/billing/*` — Payment logic flaws
3. `/upload/*` — File upload vulnerabilities
4. `/auth/*` — Authentication bypass

## Previous Findings (to avoid duplicates)
- XSS in /search — reported 2024-12, resolved
- IDOR in /api/v1/users/{id} — reported 2025-01, resolved (v2 untested)
