What it does
Solidity Vulnerability Scanner is an agent skill from alt-research2/SolidityGuard. Comprehensive Solidity contract security scanner detecting 104 vulnerability patterns across reentrancy, access control, arithmetic, DeFi, proxy, and token categories. Integrates Slither, Aderyn, and Mythril with manual analysis.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `resources/VULNERABILITY_PATTERNS.md`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Vulnerability scanning, Smart contracts and Smart contract auditing. It works with Solidity. The repository describes itself as: Solidity/EVM smart contract security auditor — 104 vulnerability patterns, 8 tools, 100% CTF + EVMBench benchmark (120/120).
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Vulnerability scanning
- Tasks that involve Smart contracts
- Tasks that involve Smart contract auditing
Example prompts
- “/solidity-vulnerability-scanner”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, Write
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Purpose
- When to Use
- Scanning Workflow
- Vulnerability Patterns (97 Total)
- Confidence Scoring
- Finding Format
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 35645e8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepGlobBashWrite
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
rg
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Solidity Vulnerability Scanner loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 392 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, Write
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 392 words (~1,577 tokens).
“Systematically scan Solidity contracts for 104 security vulnerabilities using multi-tool detection: Slither + Aderyn + Mythril + manual pattern matching. All findings require evidence with exact file:line citations.”

Solidity Vulnerability Scanner is an agent skill from alt-research2/SolidityGuard. Comprehensive Solidity contract security scanner detecting 104 vulnerability patterns across reentrancy, access control, arithmetic, DeFi, proxy, and token categories.
When should I use Solidity Vulnerability Scanner?
Solidity Vulnerability Scanner fits situations like: tasks that involve Vulnerability scanning; tasks that involve Smart contracts; tasks that involve Smart contract auditing.
How do I install Solidity Vulnerability Scanner in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add alt-research2/SolidityGuard --skill solidity-vulnerability-scanner -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/solidity-guard/skills/vulnerability-scanner in alt-research2/SolidityGuard) into .claude/skills/solidity-vulnerability-scanner in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Solidity Vulnerability Scanner in Codex?
Run `npx skills add alt-research2/SolidityGuard --skill solidity-vulnerability-scanner -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/solidity-guard/skills/vulnerability-scanner in alt-research2/SolidityGuard) into .agents/skills/solidity-vulnerability-scanner in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Solidity Vulnerability Scanner in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alt-research2/SolidityGuard --skill solidity-vulnerability-scanner -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/solidity-vulnerability-scanner, .gemini/skills/solidity-vulnerability-scanner, .github/skills/solidity-vulnerability-scanner and .opencode/skills/solidity-vulnerability-scanner in your project.
What does Solidity Vulnerability Scanner need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Solidity Vulnerability Scanner needs the command-line tools its instructions call (rg). Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, Write.
Does Solidity Vulnerability Scanner access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Solidity Vulnerability Scanner safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
