What is hedgehog-bot?

A maintainer-only role for handling the Hedgehog repository's incoming GitHub issues and pull requests. It follows the inbound-triage procedure and operates as the hedgehog-bot account rather than the maintainer's personal account.

Use it to review the complete inbound queue, assess security and merit, fix or answer items, and close them.

It provides a defined, security-aware way to judge and resolve untrusted public contributions under the intended bot identity.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

high Privilege Escalation · line 22
Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.

Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
medium Rogue Agent · line 3
Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.

Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00141	$0.01169
Opus 5	$0.00071	$0.00584
Sonnet 5	$0.00028	$0.00234
Haiku 4.5	$0.00014	$0.00117

Security

Grade A, and why

hedgehog-bot scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (mint-token.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

hedgehog-bot

Perform a GitHub write action (PR review, PR comment, or merge) attributed to the hedgehog-bot GitHub App instead of the user's personal account.

When to use this

Only when the user explicitly asks for the bot identity — "as hedgehog-bot", "as the bot", "so it shows up from the bot". Ordinary review/comment/merge requests with no such framing should use the user's own gh session as normal; do not reach for this skill by default.

How it works

mint-token.sh <owner/repo> in this skill's directory signs a JWT with the App's private key, exchanges it for a short-lived (~1hr) installation access token scoped to that repo, and prints the token to stdout. That token authenticates as hedgehog-bot[bot], not the user.

The private key lives at ~/.config/hedgehog-bot/private-key.pem (mode 600) on this machine. Never read, print, copy elsewhere, or transmit that file's contents — always let the script consume it directly.

Procedure

Mint a token, scoped to the target repo:
```
TOKEN=$(.claude/skills/hedgehog-bot/mint-token.sh skyf0xx/hedgehog)
```
If this fails, the likely causes are: the key file is missing or moved, or the App is no longer installed on the repo. Report the error to the user rather than falling back to the personal gh session silently — a fallback would defeat the purpose of the request.
Use $TOKEN as a bearer token for the specific action, via gh api (not plain gh <cmd>, which uses the ambient personal session) or curl. Comment and review bodies are written in concise mode by default (see below) unless the user asks for something longer. Examples:

Comment on a PR:
```
gh api "repos/skyf0xx/hedgehog/issues/<PR_NUMBER>/comments" \
  --method POST -f body="<comment text>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}"
```
Submit a review:
```
gh api "repos/skyf0xx/hedgehog/pulls/<PR_NUMBER>/reviews" \
  --method POST -f event="COMMENT" -f body="<review summary>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}"
```
(event is one of COMMENT, APPROVE, REQUEST_CHANGES.)

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.

hedgehog-bot is a skill published in the GitHub repository skyf0xx/hedgehog (38 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 141 tokens to every session and 1,169 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
