bug-bounty

Complete bug bounty workflow — recon, pre-hunt learning, vulnerability hunting (IDOR, SSRF, XSS, auth bypass, CSRF, race conditions, SQLi, XXE, file upload, business logic, GraphQL, HTTP smuggling, cache poisoning, OAuth, OIDC, SSTI, subdomain takeover, cloud misconfig, ATO chains, agentic AI), LLM/AI security testing (ASI01-ASI10), A-to-B bug chaining, bypass tables, language-specific grep patterns, and reporting (7-Question Gate, 4 validation gates, CVSS 3.1, PoC generation, submission checklist). Use for ANY bug bounty task — recon, hunting specific vulns, auditing source code, testing AI features, validating findings, or writing reports.

Quality

Content

58%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body delivers an exceptionally actionable, well-sequenced hunting workflow with strong validation gates, but it is a monolithic wall of text that buries its own structure. Much of the reference material duplicates knowledge Claude already has, and several referenced files are missing from the bundle entirely.

Suggestions

Split the SKILL.md into a lean overview plus one-level-deep reference files (e.g. references/cicd-github-actions.md, references/bypass-tables.md, references/ato-paths.md) and link to them from short summary sections — the CI/CD deep-dive alone is ~350 lines that belong in its own file.

Trim or move content Claude already knows (CVSS 3.1 factor table, magic bytes, SSTI/SQLi/XSS payload basics, framework fingerprinting trivia) into reference files or remove them, keeping only bug-bounty-specific judgment calls like the 'always rejected' list and kill-signal tables inline.

Resolve the dangling references: either ship the referenced files (bughunter/tools/hunt.py, lead_board.py, docs/auth-sessions.md, docs/auth.example.json, skills/bb-methodology/SKILL.md, skills/llm-redteam/SKILL.md) in the bundle's scripts/ or references/ directories, or rewrite those instructions to be self-contained.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~1650-line body inlines large amounts of knowledge Claude already has (CVSS 3.1 table, magic bytes, SSTI detection payloads, basic SQLi strings, XSS sink lists) plus padded mindset/philosophy sections ("TOP 1% HACKER MINDSET", "How Elite Hackers Think Differently"). It is dense rather than padded prose, so above the 1 anchor, but is noticeably verbose overall.

2 / 5

Actionability

Mostly copy-paste-ready commands, pipelines, payloads, and report templates (recon pipeline, ffuf techniques, semgrep, sisakulint, PoC templates). Not 5 because core commands such as `bughunter/tools/hunt.py`, `lead_board.py`, and `docs/auth-sessions.md` reference files that do not exist in the skill bundle (no references/, scripts/, or assets/ directories are present).

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Explicit "Recon -> Learn -> Hunt -> Validate -> Report" pipeline with sequenced phases, the 7-Question Gate, four pre-submission validation gates, stop rules ("Any NO -> STOP"), time-boxing rules, and per-class checklists — explicit validation steps, feedback loops, and checklists matching the 5 anchor.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

A 1650-line monolith: the ~350-line CI/CD deep-dive and extensive payload/bypass tables clearly belong in separate reference files, and the few references that exist (`skills/bb-methodology/SKILL.md`, `web2-vuln-classes`, `docs/auth-sessions.md`, `skills/llm-redteam/SKILL.md`) point to files absent from the bundle. Section headers exist, but the dominant failure is inlining content that should be split out.

Description

88%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A highly specific, explicit description with clear what/when structure and strong natural trigger coverage. Its only weaknesses are a missing synonym set (pentest/security research/vulnerability assessment) and broad reach into source-code auditing and AI testing that slightly raises overlap risk with adjacent security skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Enumerates many concrete capabilities — recon, per-vulnerability-class hunting (IDOR, SSRF, XSS, SQLi, OAuth, ...), LLM/AI security testing (ASI01-ASI10), A-to-B chaining, grep patterns, and reporting with named gates — giving comprehensive coverage of specific actions rather than vague language.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both "what" ("Complete bug bounty workflow — recon, ... reporting") and "when" ("Use for ANY bug bounty task — recon, hunting specific vulns, auditing source code, testing AI features, validating findings, or writing reports") with concrete trigger phrases, matching the 5 anchor exactly.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Good natural phrases users would say ("bug bounty", "recon", "hunting specific vulns", "validating findings", "writing reports") plus named vuln classes, but common synonyms such as "pentest", "security research", or "vulnerability assessment" are missing — a few natural terms short of the 5 anchor.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear bug-bounty niche with distinct vuln-class triggers, but the broad "auditing source code, testing AI features" reach could overlap with general code-audit or AI-security skills — mostly distinct with minor overlap risk, i.e. the 4 anchor rather than 5.
