snyk-vulnbench: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/benchmark-run/SKILL.md

benchmark-run is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from snyk-labs/snyk-vulnbench. It costs 189 tokens per session (4,187 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command runner for security benchmark evaluations from plain-language requests. A benchmark evaluation tests a security task with specified options such as programming language, model, or vulnerability category.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run security benchmarks, such as checking JavaScript for vulnerabilities in selected categories with a chosen model or configuration.
Why use it?
It translates an informal request into the command needed by the benchmark program. This avoids having to remember the command structure and its option names.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is snyk-labs/snyk-vulnbench's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on snyk-vulnbench itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything snyk-vulnbench configures →

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

benchmark-run 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 27d 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.

Benchmark Run

Instructions

Turn a natural-language benchmark request into the exact CLI command that runs it, execute it, and report the outcome. No need to memorize task IDs or dig through package.json.

For canonical V2 gateway setup or proxy failures, consult docs/litellm-integration.md before changing runner credentials or provider configuration.


Step 1: Discover available tasks and configs

Read these two sources to build the current inventory:

  • Task IDs — list evals/tasks/*.json filenames. Each filename minus .json is the task ID (e.g. js-project-tigerteam-find-vulns).
  • Config IDs — read evals/run-configs.json. Each object's id field is a config ID. For model configs, also note mcpServers and promptTemplateId, because they define the available tools and any required tool-use guidance.
  • Config groups — read evals/run-config-groups.json. With no selector the CLI uses default; vulnbench-v2 preserves the original 30-turn DeepSec matrix, while vulnbench-v2-deepsec-150 matches the completed V2 execution.

This step is necessary because tasks and configs change over time — never hard-code the list.

Done when: you have a list of valid task IDs and config IDs.


Step 2: Translate the user's request into CLI arguments

Map the user's natural language to --task, --config, and --category flags.

Task resolution rules:

User says Resolves to
"js find vulns tigerteam" or "js-project-tigerteam find" --task js-project-tigerteam-find-vulns
"js find vulns tigerteam, shadowfox, ironclad" --task js-project-tigerteam-find-vulns,js-project-shadowfox-find-vulns,js-project-ironclad-find-vulns
"js fix vulns shadowfox" --task js-project-shadowfox-fix-vulns
"llm 1 find" or "llm stardust find" --task llm-project-stardust-find-vulns
"app keystonebank find and fix" --task app-project-keystonebank-find-vulns,app-project-keystonebank-fix-vulns
"python find" --task python-project-cobalt-find-vulns
"all find tasks" or "find vulns" --category find-vulns (no --task needed)
"all fix tasks" --category fix-vulns
"everything" or "all" omit both --task and --category

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.
