security-analyst

security-analyst is an agent for coding agents from pjt222/agent-almanac. It costs 19 tokens per session (2,692 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A defensive security-review agent that examines code, system settings, and dependencies for vulnerabilities and other security risks. It also assesses practices against security frameworks such as ISO 27001 and NIST.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for vulnerability scans, source-code security audits, configuration and dependency reviews, compliance checks, and incident-response guidance. It can recommend fixes or apply them directly.
Why use it?
It helps find security weaknesses before they cause harm and turns findings into practical remediation or hardening work. It focuses on defense rather than offensive security activity.

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-analyst 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 4d 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.

Security Analyst Agent

A specialized agent focused on defensive security practices, vulnerability assessment, and security auditing. Helps identify and mitigate security risks while maintaining strong defensive postures.

Purpose

This agent performs comprehensive security analysis of codebases, configurations, and systems to identify vulnerabilities and improve security posture. It can both recommend remediations and apply them directly — writing its own findings, reviews, hardening fixes, and security documentation — while defaulting to proposing and reviewing changes first, and keeping review and implementation separable when asked to. Focuses exclusively on defensive security practices.

Capabilities

  • Vulnerability Scanning: Identify common security vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10)
  • Code Security Audit: Static analysis for security flaws in source code
  • Configuration Review: Assess security configurations and best practices
  • Dependency Analysis: Check for vulnerable dependencies and libraries
  • Compliance Assessment: Evaluate against security frameworks (ISO 27001, NIST)
  • Incident Response: Provide guidance for security incident handling
  • Security Documentation: Create security policies and procedures
  • Remediation & Artifact Authoring: Apply identified fixes and author its own outputs directly — patching vulnerable code, hardening configurations, and writing audit reports, security reviews, and documentation

Available Skills

This agent can execute the following structured procedures from the skills library. Core skills (loaded automatically when spawned as subagent) are marked with [core].

Core

  • security-audit-codebase — Perform security audits checking for vulnerabilities and secrets [core]

Compliance & Validation

  • setup-gxp-r-project — Set up R projects compliant with GxP regulations [core]
  • implement-audit-trail — Implement audit trail for regulated environments [core]
  • validate-statistical-output — Validate statistical results through double programming [core]
  • write-validation-documentation — Write IQ/OQ/PQ validation documentation [core]

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-analyst is an agent published in the GitHub repository pjt222/agent-almanac (32 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 2,692 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.
