How do I install the Hunt Run skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add backbay-labs/hunt-run in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Hunt Run safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Hunt Run?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Hunt Run free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

File contents

Documented flags are available behaviors, not implied active behaviors. Treat --wave N, --gaps-only, and --interactive as active only when the literal token appears in $ARGUMENTS. If none of these tokens appear, run the standard full-phase execution flow.

The execution boundary is the shared THRUNT runtime contract:

each material hunt action is shaped as a QuerySpec
connectors return one normalized result envelope
query logs and receipts are emitted from runtime metadata, not connector-specific ad hoc blobs
connector-backed execution can be inspected locally with thrunt-tools runtime list-connectors, thrunt-tools runtime doctor, thrunt-tools runtime smoke, thrunt-tools pack render-targets, and thrunt-tools runtime execute

--wave N executes only a single wave and must not mark the whole phase complete until no incomplete plans remain.

Creates or updates:

.planning/QUERIES/*.md
.planning/RECEIPTS/*.md
Phase SUMMARY.md
.planning/STATE.md
.planning/HYPOTHESES.md when new pivots emerge
.planning/HUNTMAP.md when phase status changes

After this command: Run /hunt-validate-findings <phase>.

Active flags must be derived from $ARGUMENTS. Do not infer that a flag is active just because it is documented in this prompt. --interactive is active only if the literal --interactive token is present in $ARGUMENTS. If none of these tokens appear, run the standard full-phase execution flow.

Parallelize by telemetry domain when it helps.When query execution occurs, treat `/hunt-run` as a `QuerySpec` producer and normalized-result consumer.If the requested phase has not been planned yet, stop and instruct the operator to run `/hunt-plan <phase>` first instead of improvising execution.Keep query-log `related_receipts` and receipt `related_queries` links exact and bidirectional for artifacts created in the run.Before closing out, update `HYPOTHESES.md`, `STATE.md`, and `HUNTMAP.md` so hypothesis confidence and phase completion match the receipts actually collected.When updating `HUNTMAP.md`, sync all affected surfaces: phase checkbox, per-plan checklist entries, and the progress table row for the executed phase.When onboarding or debugging a real connector, use `thrunt-tools runtime doctor [<connector-id>]` before running hunts, and use `thrunt-tools runtime smoke [<connector-id>]` for a live read-only certification query.When a phase is explicitly pack-backed, prefer `thrunt-tools runtime execute --pack <id>` or inspect the generated specs with `thrunt-tools pack render-targets <id>` before running.</process>
