find-bugs▌
getsentry/skills · updated Apr 8, 2026
Comprehensive code review identifying bugs, security vulnerabilities, and quality issues in branch changes.
- ›Executes a structured five-phase review process: gathering the complete diff, mapping attack surfaces, running a detailed security checklist, verifying findings, and auditing coverage before conclusions
- ›Security checklist covers 11 critical areas including injection, XSS, authentication, authorization, CSRF, race conditions, session management, cryptography, information disclosure
Find Bugs
Review changes on this branch for bugs, security vulnerabilities, and code quality issues.
Phase 1: Complete Input Gathering
- Get the FULL diff:
git diff $(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name')...HEAD - If output is truncated, read each changed file individually until you have seen every changed line
- List all files modified in this branch before proceeding
Phase 2: Attack Surface Mapping
For each changed file, identify and list:
- All user inputs (request params, headers, body, URL components)
- All database queries
- All authentication/authorization checks
- All session/state operations
- All external calls
- All cryptographic operations
Phase 3: Security Checklist (check EVERY item for EVERY file)
- Injection: SQL, command, template, header injection
- XSS: All outputs in templates properly escaped?
- Authentication: Auth checks on all protected operations?
- Authorization/IDOR: Access control verified, not just auth?
- CSRF: State-changing operations protected?
- Race conditions: TOCTOU in any read-then-write patterns?
- Session: Fixation, expiration, secure flags?
- Cryptography: Secure random, proper algorithms, no secrets in logs?
- Information disclosure: Error messages, logs, timing attacks?
- DoS: Unbounded operations, missing rate limits, resource exhaustion?
- Business logic: Edge cases, state machine violations, numeric overflow?
Phase 4: Verification
For each potential issue:
- Check if it's already handled elsewhere in the changed code
- Search for existing tests covering the scenario
- Read surrounding context to verify the issue is real
Phase 5: Pre-Conclusion Audit
Before finalizing, you MUST:
- List every file you reviewed and confirm you read it completely
- List every checklist item and note whether you found issues or confirmed it's clean
- List any areas you could NOT fully verify and why
- Only then provide your final findings
Output Format
Prioritize: security vulnerabilities > bugs > code quality
Skip: stylistic/formatting issues
For each issue:
- File:Line - Brief description
- Severity: Critical/High/Medium/Low
- Problem: What's wrong
- Evidence: Why this is real (not already fixed, no existing test, etc.)
- Fix: Concrete suggestion
- References: OWASP, RFCs, or other standards if applicable
If you find nothing significant, say so - don't invent issues.
Do not make changes - just report findings. I'll decide what to address.

Useful defaults in find-bugs — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.

We added find-bugs from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.
