⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 17, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
This is a Claude Code plugin, not a skill: there is no SKILL.md or skill frontmatter anywhere in the repo, so copying it into ~/.claude/skills produces no loadable, auto-triggering skill - it only works through its install.sh plugin path and explicit /hunt slash commands. The bundled scripts are real and ran live: check-osv.sh returned 16 genuine advisories for PyPI 'requests', but the actual find-a-new-CVE payoff needs a chosen target and can't be shown to beat a no-skill baseline here.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 2/5
- Triggers reliably 2/5
- Output vs. baseline 5/10
- Docs & honesty 3/5
What Advisory Mining (find-cve-agent) does
A Claude Code plugin (not a SKILL.md skill) that provides a 5-agent workflow, language-specific grep patterns, a false-positive knowledge base, and shell scripts to query OSV.dev and NVD for hunting variant vulnerabilities in open-source packages. Installs via its install.sh into a project's .claude/ directory and is driven through slash commands like /hunt and /recon.
How to install Advisory Mining (find-cve-agent)
Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.
