5 use cases

  • Hunt exploitable flaws in your own codebase

    Run the attacker-first scanner to get verified issues, each with an executable exploit and a proposed fix.

    View prompt
    Using the VulnHunter repo at nealbridges/VulnHunter, run the /vulnhunt skill against <target repo path>, which I am authorized to audit. Return a list of confirmed findings with each finding's entry point, sink, and exploit status. Verify that every listed finding includes an executable exploit or is labeled as lacking one.
  • Fix a confirmed finding with a failing test first

    Turn one verified finding into a red-then-green security fix and a reviewable pull request.

    View prompt
    Using the VulnHunter repo at nealbridges/VulnHunter, run the /vulnhunter-fix skill on the finding <finding ID> in <target repo path>. Return the exploit demo, the RED test output, the GREEN test output, and a pull request link or diff. Verify that the security test fails before the code change and passes after it.
  • Verify that a security fix really closes the finding

    Use a separate read-only agent to give a per-finding verdict on whether a fix worked.

    View prompt
    Using the VulnHunter repo at nealbridges/VulnHunter, run the /vulnhunt-fix-verify skill on the findings <finding IDs> in <target repo path>. Return one verdict per finding, stating whether it was remediated. Verify that the verifier made no code changes, since it is described as read-only.
  • Run unattended scans across several repositories

    Use the vulnhunter-run operator to clone, hunt, and record results without manual steps.

    View prompt
    Using the VulnHunter repo at nealbridges/VulnHunter, run the vulnhunter-run operator on the repositories <repo list>. Return the scan manifest and the results location for each repository. Verify that the manifest passes validation and that the operator stopped at its explicit stop rules where a repository could not be cloned or scanned.
  • Port the skills to a harness you already run

    Point the skill and model settings at your own agent harness through environment variables.

    View prompt
    Using the VulnHunter repo at nealbridges/VulnHunter, configure the environment variables VULNHUNT_SKILLS_DIR, VULNHUNT_AGENTS_DIR, and VULNHUNT_MODEL for my harness, then run /vulnhunt on <test repo path>. Return the configuration used and whether the skill loaded. Verify that the run used the model I set and not a hardcoded default.

How to use Vuln Hunter

  1. Check you have what it needs: Source code you own or are authorized to audit; Your own model access, using the most capable reasoning model your agent harness offers; An agent harness with a skills directory and subagent support.
  2. Open nealbridges/VulnHunter on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/nealbridges/VulnHunter (inferred, check the README)
  4. Run the installer from the repo folder with bash install.sh, setting VULNHUNT_SKILLS_DIR for your harness first if it does not use a default location (inferred, check the README)
  5. Open your agent harness in the folder of the code you own and are authorized to audit
  6. Run /vulnhunt to start the hunt from entry points toward dangerous sinks

These steps come from our top use case, Hunt exploitable flaws in your own codebase, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
