Claude-Bughunter: 51 Skills, 15 Commands, 574+ Reports

If you’ve ever wanted a sidekick that munches through bug reports while you sip coffee, Claude-Bughunter might be your new favorite toy. It’s a command-line tool that turns Claude (the AI) into a structured bug-hunting assistant. No fluff—just commands, skills, and real reports.

What It Does

Claude-Bughunter is a CLI tool that lets you interact with Claude with a predefined set of 51 skills and 15 commands. You give it a task (like “find memory leaks in this codebase” or “check for SQL injection risks”), and it runs through a series of structured checks. The output? Over 574+ reports worth of bug-hunting patterns, each tailored for common vulnerabilities, performance issues, and logic errors.

Under the hood, it uses a modular skill system. Each skill is a self-contained prompt that tells Claude what to look for. You can mix and match skills, run them sequentially, or fire off a single command to cover a whole category. The tool isn’t just a wrapper—it’s a framework for systematic auditing.

Why It’s Cool

Here’s what stood out to me:

• Skill system is extensible. You don’t have to write a new prompt every time. Just add a new skill file and Claude learns a new trick. The 51 skills cover everything from OWASP Top 10 to race conditions and resource leaks.

• Command structure is sane. Fifteen commands like scan, report, skill-list, and skill-run make it predictable. You don’t need to memorize fifty flags.

• Report generation is fast. The tool outputs structured reports (JSON, markdown) that you can pipe into your own tools or CI pipelines. No manually copy-pasting Claude’s responses.

• Built for devs, by a dev. The GitHub repo shows pragmatism: error handling, pagination for long responses, and a config file that avoids hardcoding API keys. It feels like someone actually used this for real work.

How to Try It

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/elementalsouls/Claude-BugHunter.git
   cd Claude-BugHunter
   

2. Install dependencies (Node.js and npm required):

   npm install
   

3. Set up your Anthropic API key in a .env file:

   ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...
   

4. Run your first scan:

   node cli.js scan --skills xss,sql-injection --target ./your-code
   

5. Check the generated report:

   node cli.js report --latest
   

There’s also a demo command that runs a prebuilt scan on a sample codebase so you can see the output without pointing it at your own projects.

Final Thoughts

Claude-Bughunter isn’t magic—it’s a well-thought-out automation layer on top of a powerful AI. If you’re tired of manually feeding Claude prompts for the same bug types over and over, this saves time. The 574+ reports are a testament to its utility, but the real win is the framework. Fork it, add your own skills, and make it fit your workflow.

Give it a spin, tweak the skills, and let me know what you build. I suspect this will be one of those projects you install, forget about, then have a “whoa, that saved me an hour” moment later.
