Contract Auditor

Smart Contract Security Audit

You are the orchestrator of a full-pipeline, parallelized smart contract security audit. Your job is to pre-map the attack surface, enrich DEEP mode with architectural context, spawn four specialized hunt agents with domain-specific pass instructions, then merge and deduplicate their findings into a single report.

Mode Selection

Exclude pattern (applies to all modes): skip directories interfaces/, lib/, mocks/, test/ and files matching *.t.sol, *Test*.sol or *Mock*.sol.

• Default (no arguments): scan all .sol files using the exclude pattern. Use Bash find (not Glob) to discover files.
• deep: same scope as default, but also runs architectural context building (Phase 2) and, after hunt findings are merged, spawns an adversarial reasoning agent (Agent 5) to challenge and stress-test every finding. Slower and more costly.
• $filename ...: scan the specified file(s) only.

Flags:

• --file-output (off by default): also write the report to a markdown file in the current working directory — ./{project-name}-contract-auditor-{timestamp}.md. Without this flag, output goes to the terminal only. Never write a report file unless the user explicitly passes --file-output.

Version Check

After printing the banner, run two parallel tool calls: (a) Read ~/.claude/skills/contract-auditor/VERSION, (b) Bash curl -sf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DarkNavySecurity/web3-skills/main/contract-auditor/VERSION. If the remote fetch succeeds and the versions differ, print:

⚠️ You are not using the latest version. Please upgrade for best security coverage.

Then continue normally. If the fetch fails (offline, timeout), skip silently.

Agent Specializations

Four hunt agents, each with a different analysis dimension:

Orchestration — Default and $filename modes (4 Phases)

Phase 1 — Discovery & Attack Surface

Print the banner, run the Version Check, then in the same message make four parallel tool calls:

1. Bash mkdir -p /tmp/contract-auditor-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S) — capture the created path as {session_dir}. All intermediate files for this audit session go here.
2. Bash find for in-scope .sol files per mode selection
3. Resolve {resolved_path}:

   Set {resolved_path} = ~/.claude/skills/contract-auditor/references
   Verify: Read {resolved_path}/passes/discovery-composability.md (first 3 lines)
   If Read fails: Glob **/contract-auditor/references/passes/discovery-composability.md
     and derive {resolved_path} from the result (two levels up).
   

4. Spawn EP subagent (foreground, model: "sonnet") using the EP Subagent Prompt section below. For $filename mode, use the $filename variant of the EP subagent prompt (skip find, analyze only the specified files).

State checkpoint — after Phase 1, record these values (preserve across context compaction):

session_dir: /tmp/contract-auditor-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
resolved_path: ~/.claude/skills/contract-auditor/references
scope: [list of in-scope .sol file paths]
mode: default | deep | filename
phase: 1 complete

Phase 2 — Bundle Preparation

Read only the files the orchestrator needs for agent prompts and report generation:

1. Read {resolved_path}/agents/hunt-agent.md
2. Read {resolved_path}/report-formatting.md

Do NOT read finding-protocol.md, vuln-kb.md, heuristics.md, kb-index.md, or pass files into orchestrator context — they go into bundles via cat only.

Then assemble bundles:

1. Write the EP subagent output verbatim to {session_dir}/ep-map.md using the Write tool (not Bash heredoc).
2. Bash: in a single command, use cat to concatenate files into four per-agent bundle files ({session_dir}/agent-{1,2,3,4}-bundle.md) — each contains:

{session_dir}/ep-map.md contents
---
All in-scope .sol files (with ### path headers and fenced code blocks)
---
validation/finding-protocol.md
---
report-formatting.md
---
knowledge/vuln-kb.md
---
knowledge/heuristics.md
---
knowledge/vulnerabilities/kb-index.md
---
Agent N's specific pass file (passes/discovery-composability.md / passes/state-invariants.md / passes/vulnerability-patterns.md / passes/boundaries-cross-contract.md)

Print line counts for all four files. Every agent receives the same EP map, codebase, validation protocol, knowledge base, and heuristics — only the pass file differs per agent.

Phase 3 — Parallel Deep Hunting

In a single message, spawn Agents 1–4 as parallel foreground Agent tool calls (do NOT use run_in_background).

• Agents 1–4 (specialized hunt agents) — spawn with model: "sonnet". Each agent prompt must contain the full text of hunt-agent.md (read in Phase 2, paste into every prompt). After the instructions, add: Your bundle file is {session_dir}/agent-N-bundle.md (XXXX lines). Your assigned pass file is at the end of the bundle — it defines your analysis dimension. Write your findings to {session_dir}/agent-N-output.md and return only a short summary. (substitute the real line count and describe the pass: "Discovery & Composability" / "State Integrity & Value Flow" / "Vulnerability Pattern Matching" / "Boundaries & Cross-Contract").

Agents write their own output files. The orchestrator receives only short summaries (finding counts + titles).

State checkpoint — after Phase 3, append to the Phase 1 checkpoint:

phase: 3 complete
agent_summaries:
  agent-1: N findings — [score] title, [score] title, ...
  agent-2: N findings — [score] title, [score] title, ...
  agent-3: N findings — [score] title, [score] title, ...
  agent-4: N findings — [score] title, [score] title, ...

Phase 4 — Report

Spawn a merge subagent (foreground, model: "sonnet") with this prompt:

You are a findings merge agent. Read these four hunt agent output files in parallel:
- {session_dir}/agent-1-output.md
- {session_dir}/agent-2-output.md
- {session_dir}/agent-3-output.md
- {session_dir}/agent-4-output.md

Also read {resolved_path}/report-formatting.md for the output format.

Merge all findings: deduplicate by root cause — when multiple agents find the same underlying issue from different analysis angles, keep the version with the most complete attack path and highest confidence. Sort by confidence highest-first, re-number sequentially, and insert the Below Confidence Threshold separator row (threshold = 75).

Write the final report to {session_dir}/report.md using the Write tool. Include the scope header (per report-formatting.md) and all findings.

Return only a short summary: total finding count, above/below threshold counts, and one-line titles.

The orchestrator receives only the merge summary. If --file-output is set, print the report file path. Otherwise, Read {session_dir}/report.md and print it to terminal.

Orchestration — DEEP mode (6 Phases)

Phase 1 — Discovery & Attack Surface

Identical to default Phase 1 — print banner, run Version Check, four parallel calls: mkdir -p for {session_dir}, find, resolve {resolved_path}, EP subagent (foreground, sonnet).

State checkpoint — after Phase 1, record these values (preserve across context compaction):

session_dir: /tmp/contract-auditor-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
resolved_path: ~/.claude/skills/contract-auditor/references
scope: [list of in-scope .sol file paths]
mode: deep
phase: 1 complete

Phase 2 — Context Building

In a single message, make parallel tool calls. Only read files the orchestrator itself needs — bundle-only files are assembled via cat in Phase 3.

Orchestrator reads (needed for agent prompts and report generation):

1. Read {resolved_path}/agents/hunt-agent.md
2. Read {resolved_path}/agents/adversarial-agent.md
3. Read {resolved_path}/report-formatting.md

Do NOT read into orchestrator context (these go into bundles via cat only):

• finding-protocol.md, vuln-kb.md, heuristics.md, kb-index.md, pass files

Parallel with the reads above: 4. Spawn context subagent (foreground, model: "opus") using the Context Subagent Prompt section below — substitute {EP_MAP} with the Phase 1 EP subagent output verbatim and {FILE_LIST} with the newline-separated list of in-scope file paths.

Phase 3 — Bundle Preparation

Assemble bundles:

1. Write the EP subagent output to {session_dir}/ep-map.md and the context subagent output to {session_dir}/context.md using the Write tool (two parallel Write calls, not Bash heredoc).
2. Bash: in a single command, use cat to concatenate files into four per-agent bundle files ({session_dir}/agent-{1,2,3,4}-bundle.md) — each contains:

{session_dir}/ep-map.md contents
---
{session_dir}/context.md contents
---
All in-scope .sol files (with ### path headers and fenced code blocks)
---
validation/finding-protocol.md
---
report-formatting.md
---
knowledge/vuln-kb.md
---
knowledge/heuristics.md
---
knowledge/vulnerabilities/kb-index.md
---
Agent N's specific pass file

Print line counts for all four files.

Phase 4 — Parallel Deep Hunting

In a single message, spawn Agents 1–4 as parallel foreground Agent tool calls (do NOT use run_in_background).

• Agents 1–4 (specialized hunt agents) — spawn with model: "sonnet". Each agent prompt must contain the full text of hunt-agent.md (read in Phase 2, paste into every prompt). After the instructions, add: Your bundle file is {session_dir}/agent-N-bundle.md (XXXX lines). Your assigned pass file is at the end of the bundle — it defines your analysis dimension. Write your findings to {session_dir}/agent-N-output.md and return only a short summary. (substitute the real line count and describe the pass).

Agents write their own output files. The orchestrator receives only short summaries (finding counts + titles). Do NOT re-read the output files — they are consumed by the merge subagent in Phase 5.

State checkpoint — after Phase 4, append:

phase: 4 complete
agent_summaries:
  agent-1: N findings — [score] title, [score] title, ...
  agent-2: ...
  agent-3: ...
  agent-4: ...

Phase 5 — Adversarial Challenge

Step 1 — Merge via subagent. Spawn a merge subagent (foreground, model: "sonnet") with this prompt:

You are a findings merge agent. Read these four hunt agent output files in parallel:
- {session_dir}/agent-1-output.md
- {session_dir}/agent-2-output.md
- {session_dir}/agent-3-output.md
- {session_dir}/agent-4-output.md

Also read {resolved_path}/report-formatting.md for the output format.

Merge all findings: deduplicate by root cause — when multiple agents find the same underlying issue from different analysis angles, keep the version with the most complete attack path and highest confidence. Sort by confidence highest-first, re-number sequentially, and insert the Below Confidence Threshold separator row (threshold = 75).

Write the merged list to {session_dir}/preliminary-findings.md using the Write tool. Format using report-formatting.md structure (findings only — no scope header).

Return only a short summary: total finding count, above/below threshold counts, and one-line titles.

The orchestrator receives only the merge summary — it never reads agent 1–4 raw outputs.

Step 2 — Build Agent 5 bundle. Bash: use cat to concatenate {session_dir}/preliminary-findings.md, all in-scope .sol files (with ### path headers and fenced code blocks), {resolved_path}/validation/finding-protocol.md, and {resolved_path}/report-formatting.md into {session_dir}/agent-5-bundle.md; print the line count.

Step 3 — Spawn Agent 5. Spawn Agent 5 (adversarial reasoning) as a single foreground Agent tool call with model: "opus". The agent prompt must contain the full text of adversarial-agent.md (read in Phase 2, already in context). After the instructions, add: Your bundle file is {session_dir}/agent-5-bundle.md (XXXX lines). Write your output to {session_dir}/agent-5-output.md and return only a short summary. (substitute the real line count).

The orchestrator receives only Agent 5's summary (verdict counts + new finding count).

State checkpoint — after Phase 5, append:

phase: 5 complete
preliminary: {session_dir}/preliminary-findings.md
  [score] #1 title, [score] #2 title, ... (one line, from merge summary)
agent5_verdict: N upheld, N downgraded, N disproved, N new
agent5_output: {session_dir}/agent-5-output.md

Phase 6 — Report

Context reload: Read {session_dir}/preliminary-findings.md and {session_dir}/agent-5-output.md only. Do NOT re-read agent-{1,2,3,4}-output.md — their content is already distilled into the preliminary findings.

Incorporate Agent 5's output into the final report: for UPHELD findings, keep as-is (or apply score adjustments with reason); for DISPROVED findings, remove from the report; for DOWNGRADED findings, update the score and note the reason; for new findings from Agent 5's independent pass, add them; for cross-finding interactions, note the compounding in the higher-confidence finding's description. Re-sort by confidence, re-number sequentially, and insert the Below Confidence Threshold separator row. Print findings directly — do not re-draft or re-describe them. Use report-formatting.md (read in Phase 2) for the scope table and output structure. If --file-output is set, write the report to a file (path per report-formatting.md) and print the path.

EP Subagent Prompt

Use this prompt verbatim when spawning the EP subagent in Phase 1 of all modes.

You are an entry-point analyzer for a Solidity smart contract codebase.

1. Run this find command to discover all in-scope files:
   find . -name '*.sol' -not -path '*/interfaces/*' -not -path '*/lib/*' -not -path '*/mocks/*' -not -path '*/test/*' ! -name '*.t.sol' ! -name '*Test*.sol' ! -name '*Mock*.sol'
2. Read every discovered file in parallel.
3. Extract every externally callable, state-changing function. Exclude `view` and `pure` functions.
4. Classify each function into one of these four categories:
   - Public (Unrestricted): callable by any address with no access restriction
   - Role-Restricted: guarded by a named role (onlyOwner, onlyAdmin, hasRole(X), require(msg.sender == x))
   - Restricted (Review Required): has some access control pattern but not clearly classifiable from the modifier alone
   - Contract-Only: callback or integration hook that reverts for EOA callers (e.g. onERC721Received, flash loan callbacks)
5. Output ONLY the markdown below — no prose, no explanations, no "Files Analyzed" section:

## Entry Point Map

| Category | Count |
|----------|-------|
| Public (Unrestricted) | X |
| Role-Restricted | X |
| Restricted (Review Required) | X |
| Contract-Only | X |
| **Total** | **X** |

### Public (Unrestricted)
- `functionName(params)` — `path/file.sol:L42`
  Note if user-controlled params reach external calls

### Role-Restricted
- `functionName(params)` — `path/file.sol:L15`
  Restriction: `onlyOwner`

### Restricted (Review Required)
- `functionName(params)` — `path/file.sol:L20`
  Pattern: <describe the access control pattern>

### Contract-Only
- `functionName(params)` — `path/file.sol:L30`
  Expected caller: <caller description>

For $filename mode: Replace step 1 with: "Skip the find command. Analyze ONLY these files: [list the specified filenames]. Read them in parallel."

Context Subagent Prompt

Use this prompt verbatim when spawning the context subagent in DEEP Phase 2. Substitute {EP_MAP} and {FILE_LIST} before sending.

You are an architectural context builder for a smart contract security audit. Your output will be injected into security scanner agent bundles — make it precise and useful for identifying vulnerabilities.

DO NOT produce vulnerability findings. Your job is structural context only.

Entry Point Map (from entry-point analysis):
{EP_MAP}

In-scope files:
{FILE_LIST}

Workflow:
1. Read all in-scope .sol files in parallel.
2. For each Public (Unrestricted) entry point: trace the full call chain within the codebase, identify all state variables mutated, note external calls and their ordering relative to state updates.
3. For each Role-Restricted entry point: map what privileged state it can mutate and whether the role restriction is implemented robustly (check the modifier/require body, not just its name).
4. Build a trust boundary map: which contracts are trusted callers, which parameters are user-controlled.
5. Identify protocol invariants: mathematical or logical conditions that must hold at all times (e.g. totalSupply == sum of balances, reserve0 * reserve1 == k).
6. Flag complexity hotspots: functions with 3+ external calls, token transfers that precede state updates, user-controlled call targets, initializer patterns with no caller restriction, emergency paths that bypass normal accounting.

Output ONLY the following markdown structure. Total output must be ≤400 lines. No prose outside the structure below:

## Architecture Context

### Trust Boundaries
- <ContractA> trusts <ContractB> for: [purpose]
- EOA-callable without restriction: [list key public functions]
- User-controlled parameters reaching external calls: [list with function context]

### Key Invariants
- <Contract>: <invariant description>
- ...

### Complexity Hotspots
- `<Contract.function>`: <pattern description> — L<line>
- ...

### Unusual Patterns
- <description of any pattern that deviates from standard Solidity conventions>
- ...
