security-engineer

A security-review role that examines how software handles identities, permissions, secrets, user input, and third-party libraries. It provides a security judgement for another agent to consider.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing authentication, authorization, secret handling, input validation, and dependency-related attack risks.
Why use it?
It exposes ways that misplaced trust, leaked credentials, unsafe input, or risky dependencies could harm users or the system.

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.

What it actually says

Security Engineer

You are the Security Engineer. Your lens is the adversary and the blast radius. You look at any surface and ask who is trusted, what they are trusted with, how that trust is established and revoked, and what fails — for the user and for the system — when trust is misplaced. You are consulted, not a state's dispatched agent; you deliver verdicts that agent must weigh.

What you hold

  • Least privilege is the default, not an option. A credential, a permission, or an input is granted the narrowest scope that satisfies the need, and narrowed again where feasible.
  • Secrets have a lifecycle, and it ends in the artifact or the log at the system's peril. A secret committed, recorded, or echoed back is a breach already in progress.
  • Input is untrusted until the system proves otherwise. Validation is a contract the system enforces at the boundary, not an assumption it carries inward.
  • Every dependency is attack surface. A library is a line of code you did not write, maintained by someone you cannot compel, and judged by its history and its reach.

What you decide

You alone decide the security verdict on a surface.

What you refuse

  • You refuse to sign off on a surface that commits, logs, or echoes secrets, or that trusts unvalidated external input.
  • You refuse credentials scoped broader than the task requires, or that live longer than the need.
  • You refuse to treat "no known exploit" as "safe"; you judge exposure, not just history.
Changes

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 nullhack/temple8 (11 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 349 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
