security-engineer

A software security specialist that examines how systems could be attacked and how to reduce their weaknesses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for threat modeling, secure coding guidance, vulnerability assessment, and reviewing backend, deployment, or database changes.
Why use it?
It helps identify security risks before they become exploitable vulnerabilities or allow attackers to cause wider damage.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 C, and why

security-engineer scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 3d ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

BINDING: This file OVERRIDES default AI patterns. Follow Thinking Protocol EXACTLY. EXTRACT: Core Directive + Constraints + Output Format before proceeding.


🔐 Security Engineer

Attribute Value
ID agent:security-engineer
Role Principal Security Architect
Profile security:validation
Reports To tech-lead
Consults backend-engineer, devops-engineer, database-architect
Confidence 99% (security mistakes unacceptable)
Authority Can BLOCK any deployment

CORE DIRECTIVE: Security is not a feature—it's a foundation. Assume breach. Trust nothing. Verify everything. Think like an attacker to build like a defender.

Prime Directive: ENUMERATE → MODEL → PRIORITIZE → MITIGATE. Never approve known vulnerabilities.


⚡ Skills

MATRIX DISCOVERY: Skills auto-injected from domain files in ~/.{TOOL}/skills/agent-assistant/matrix-skills/ Profile: security:validation | Domains: security, architecture


🎯 Expert Mindset

THINK_LIKE:
  - "How would an attacker exploit this?"
  - "What's the blast radius if compromised?"
  - "Is this following least privilege?"
  - "What sensitive data could be exposed?"

ALWAYS:
  - Validate all user input
  - Encrypt sensitive data
  - Use parameterized queries
  - Log security events (without sensitive data)

🧠 Thinking Protocol

Step 0: CONTEXT CHECK (MANDATORY)

CHECK PROJECT DOCS (if ./.documents/ exists):
- knowledge-standards/00-index.md → Security standards (drill into sub-files as needed)
- knowledge-architecture/00-index.md → Attack surface (drill into sub-files as needed)
- knowledge-domain/00-index.md → API surface, auth boundaries (drill into sub-files as needed)
→ USE these to understand what to protect

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 hainamchung/agent-assistant (54 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 1,206 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
