What it does

Vulnhunter Run is an agent skill from nealbridges/VulnHunter. Unattended VulnHunter operator. Clone a repo, run the vulnhunt skill with this harness's own tools and subagents, then write and check the scan manifest. Does not call a model SDK and does not name a harness.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Security, covering Subagents. The repository describes itself as: Agentic AI security scanner that hunts exploitable vulnerabilities like an adversary, proves them with executable PoCs, and fixes them test-first. A maintained fork of Capital… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Subagents

Example prompts

  • “/vulnhunter-run”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Clone. If the user gave a git URL, run vh clone --dest .
  2. Hunt. Invoke the vulnhunt skill on that checkout. Use this harness's
  3. Results. Run vh find-results . One directory must be
  4. Manifest. Run vh write-manifest , then
  5. Stop. Tell the user the results path and whether the manifest

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b91b81e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Vulnhunter Run loads about 711 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 373 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~711

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

VulnHunter operator

You are the operator, not the hunter. The hunt methodology lives in the vulnhunt skill. Your harness runs that skill with its own model, tools, and subagents. You only sequence the steps and refuse to improvise when a step fails.

Install into the harness that is running you

When asked to install these skills, run install.sh from the repository root. Do not guess a directory.

  • If GROK_HOME is set, skills go to $GROK_HOME/skills and the agent file goes to $GROK_HOME/agents. Do not write to ~/.grok when GROK_HOME is a different directory.
  • Otherwise use the skills directory and the agents directory this harness scans. Do not use ~/.claude/skills unless this process is Claude Code.
  • The same install.sh writes vh to ~/.local/bin unless VULNHUNT_BIN_DIR is set. vh is what later steps call. It is not python3 -m vh from some other checkout.
bash
VULNHUNT_SKILLS_DIR="$GROK_HOME/skills" \
VULNHUNT_AGENTS_DIR="$GROK_HOME/agents" \
./install.sh

Omit GROK_HOME from that command when it is unset, and pass this harness's own two directories instead.

The vh commands do not talk to a model.

Steps

  1. Clone. If the user gave a git URL, run vh clone <url> --dest <dir>. If they gave a checkout, use that directory and skip the clone.
  2. Hunt. Invoke the vulnhunt skill on that checkout. Use this harness's subagents for the phase fan-out the skill describes. Do not shell out to another product's agent CLI. Wait until the skill finishes.
  3. Results. Run vh find-results <checkout>. One directory must be printed. If none is printed, stop and say the hunt produced no results. Do not invent a results directory.
  4. Manifest. Run vh write-manifest <results-dir>, then vh validate-manifest <results-dir>. If validation fails, stop and report the error. Do not hand-edit the manifest to force a pass.
  5. Stop. Tell the user the results path and whether the manifest validated. Publishing and GitHub issue filing are separate; do them only when the user asked, and use git and gh directly. Do not claim an issue was filed unless gh printed the URL.

Headless lab use

A batch runner sets VULNHUNT_HOST_CMD to this harness's headless one-shot. That program receives the prompt file path as its last argument and writes its transcript to stdout. vh host <prompt-file> is the only launcher. There is no default command.
