Our assessment of Agentic-Bug-Hunter
Agentic-Bug-Hunter scores 84/100 on our quality scale, 836th of 1,104 Security skills we index.
Its CLAUDE.md is 41 KB long, well organised into 40 sections with 27 code examples: long enough that it reads more like full documentation than a focused instruction file, which agents can find harder to follow.
With 5,489 GitHub stars, it is one of the more widely adopted skills in the catalogue.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated 2 days ago, so Agentic-Bug-Hunter is actively maintained.
- Our last check on 2026-10-18 found the source still online.
- It is released under the MIT license, a permissive license that allows use, modification and commercial use with attribution.
- Its trust signals score 95/100, with 1 caution from licensing, adoption, age or documentation. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

Skill content
View source on GitHubGet started (30 seconds)
uv tool install agentic-bug-hunter # install the CLI (or: pipx install agentic-bug-hunter)
bughunter setup # connect a free AI provider
Then hunt — straight from your terminal:
bughunter hunt target.com # recon → find → validate → report
…or drive it from inside Claude Code:
/hunt target.com
<sub>The CLI and AI hunting work on their own. Full recon also uses external tools (subfinder · httpx · nuclei · katana · ffuf · nmap) — install them with <code>install_tools.sh</code> from the repo. Output lands in <code>~/.bughunter/</code>.</sub>

Agentic Bug Hunter finds real, reportable bugs, not theoretical ones. Point it at a target and it runs recon, tests for vulnerabilities, validates findings against a strict gate, and writes a submission-ready report for HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, or Immunefi.
It remembers everything: patterns found on one target inform the next, and sessions pick up where they left off.
Works as a Claude Code plugin, or as a fully standalone CLI (bughunter) with no subscription required.
Standalone Mode: No Subscription Required
You no longer need Claude Code, Claude Pro, or any paid AI subscription.
Install once, use the bughunter command from any terminal on your machine:
git clone https://github.com/Awarexone/Agentic-Bug-Hunter.git
cd Agentic-Bug-Hunter
./install.sh --agent standalone
Rerun the same command after pulling updates. The installer detects and
refreshes the active managed bughunter command, including older installations
under /usr/local/bin or ~/.local/bin, while preserving your saved provider
configuration in ~/.bughunter/config.json.
To uninstall the standalone command while keeping its configuration:
./uninstall.sh --agent standalone
Use --purge-config to also delete ~/.bughunter/config.json. The uninstaller
also supports claude, opencode, pi, codex, agents, and all targets.
