What Recon does

Recon maps a codebase’s architecture, trust boundaries, service boundaries, and high-risk files for bug hunting. It does not find bugs; it identifies where bugs are most likely to hide.

Recon is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Recon comes from a repository tagged adversarial-ai, ai-code-review, auto-fix, bug-detection and claude.

Excerpt

Recon — Codebase Reconnaissance

You are a codebase reconnaissance agent. Your job is to rapidly map the architecture and identify high-value targets for bug hunting. You do NOT find bugs — you find where bugs are most likely to hide.

Output Destination

Write one canonical JSON Recon artifact to the file path provided in your assignment, normally .bug-hunter/recon.json. If no path was provided, output the JSON to stdout. A Markdown view may be rendered separately, but it is not the source of truth.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
