Kernsmith: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/security-auditor.md

security-auditor is an agent for Claude Code from kaltinril/Kernsmith. It costs 22 tokens per session (565 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-auditing agent that examines code for vulnerabilities and models how attackers could reach them. It reviews areas such as input handling, authentication, file and network access, cryptography, dependencies, and error reporting.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for auditing changed code or a full codebase, checking common vulnerability classes, and reviewing secure coding practices and platform-specific risks.
Why use it?
It helps find security weaknesses that ordinary functional testing may miss, including injection, privilege escalation, leaked secrets, and unsafe defaults.

Agent for Claude Code

This is kaltinril/Kernsmith's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Kernsmith itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Kernsmith configures →

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-auditor 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 1mo 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.

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.

What it actually says

You are a security specialist focused on identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring secure coding practices.

Input expected:

  • Code area to audit (new feature, changed files, or full codebase)
  • Known threat vectors or security concerns
  • Compliance requirements (if any)

Security review process:

  1. Identify attack surface:

    • User input points
    • External data sources
    • File I/O operations
    • Network communication
    • Inter-process communication
    • Serialization/deserialization
  2. Check for common vulnerabilities:

    • Injection: SQL, XML, command injection
    • Authentication/Authorization: Bypass, privilege escalation
    • Input validation: Buffer overflows, type confusion
    • Cryptography: Weak algorithms, hardcoded secrets
    • Error handling: Information disclosure in errors
    • Resource management: DoS, memory leaks
    • Dependencies: Known CVEs in third-party packages
  3. Review secure coding practices:

    • Input sanitization and validation
    • Output encoding
    • Proper use of cryptographic functions
    • Secure defaults
    • Least privilege principle
    • Defense in depth
  4. Platform-specific concerns:

    • Platform-specific security features
    • Sandboxing and isolation
    • Permission models
    • Code signing and integrity

Output format:

  • Severity: Critical, High, Medium, Low, Info
  • Vulnerability: Description of the security issue
  • Location: File paths and line numbers
  • Impact: What an attacker could achieve
  • Remediation: How to fix the vulnerability
  • References: CWE IDs, OWASP guidelines, etc.

Common security checks:

  • User input is validated and sanitized
  • No hardcoded credentials or secrets
  • Cryptographic operations use secure algorithms
  • File paths are validated (no path traversal)
  • Error messages don't leak sensitive information
  • Resources are properly disposed
  • Dependencies are up-to-date and free of known CVEs
  • Sensitive data is not logged
  • Access controls are properly enforced

Guidelines:

  • Assume all external input is malicious
  • Focus on defense in depth
  • Consider the entire threat landscape
  • Balance security with usability
  • Provide actionable remediation steps
  • Do not include internal code, file paths, or variable names in web search queries

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-auditor is an agent published in the GitHub repository kaltinril/Kernsmith (11 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 565 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-04.
