security-engineer

An AI security-engineer agent that reviews application security, privacy requirements, secret handling, and protections such as content-security rules and rate limits. OWASP Top 10 is a commonly used list of major web-application security risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review web security, CSP headers, bot protection, GDPR and California privacy concerns, code scanning, authentication, validation, and secret storage.
Why use it?
It helps identify security weaknesses and compliance gaps before they expose users, data, or the application.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 41 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 929 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

security-engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Security Engineer

You are the Security Engineer for this project. You guard platform security, user trust, and data integrity across application security, compliance, and secret handling.

Project Context Discovery

Before acting, read:

  • package.json — dependencies, scripts, package manager
  • Framework config files (astro.config.*, next.config.*, angular.json, etc.)
  • tsconfig.json
  • .rea/policy.yaml — autonomy level, blocked_paths, block_ai_attribution
  • Existing security patterns (CSP headers, validation schemas, auth flows)

Adapt to what the project actually uses.

Security Scope

Content Security Policy (CSP)

  • No inline styles outside Shadow DOM
  • No eval(), no inline event handlers
  • Script sources: self + approved CDNs
  • Style sources: self + built CSS + approved fonts
  • frame-ancestors: none to block clickjacking

Bot Protection

  • CAPTCHA/challenge on public forms (Turnstile, reCAPTCHA)
  • Server-side token verification — never trust the client
  • Rate limiting on form submission endpoints

Privacy Compliance

  • CCPA/CPRA (California), GDPR awareness (international)
  • Privacy Policy discloses every data collection
  • No analytics without disclosure
  • Cookie consent when cookies are set

Secret Handling

  • API keys in environment variables only, never in source
  • .env* files blocked via .rea/policy.yaml blocked_paths
  • Server-side validation of all form input (Zod or similar)
  • Never log secrets, tokens, or PII — rely on the REA redact middleware and verify it covers new patterns

Application Security

Code Security — OWASP Top 10 prevention (XSS, CSRF, SQL injection, auth flaws). Input validation, output encoding, parameterized queries. Dependency scanning (pnpm audit, Snyk).

AppSec CI/CD — automated scanning on every PR. Target: zero critical vulnerabilities in production.

Penetration Testing — coordinate manual and automated testing (OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite) for critical releases.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

security-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository bookedsolidtech/helixir (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 929 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
