security-init

security-init is a command for Claude Code from AratKruglik/claude-sdlc. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,544 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that creates project-specific security guidance files based on the technology stack in use. These files are read by a security-review add-on when checking the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after installing or changing stack add-ons, when updating security guidance, or to prepare security rules before the security-review add-on is installed.
Why use it?
It gives security checks rules that match the current stack and keeps those rules in the project where the reviewer can find them. It can also show what would be written without changing files.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-init 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/sdlc:security-init

One-time (re-runnable) command that writes stack-specific security rules into .claude/security-patterns.yaml and .claude/claude-security-guidance.md in the current project. These files are read automatically by the security-guidance plugin — it only reads from the project's .claude/ directory, never from plugin install paths.

Run this command after installing security-guidance, when changing stack plugins, or when updating the marketplace (re-running regenerates the managed block only).

Prerequisites

  • security-guidance@claude-plugins-official should be installed and active. If it is not installed, this command still materializes the files (they will be ready when the plugin is installed later) — it prints a reminder at the end.
  • The current directory must be a project root (contains .claude/ or the command creates it).

Arguments

  • --dry-run: print what would be written without modifying any files.

Execution (script-first)

Run one Bash call and relay its output; the managed-block idempotency, the dedupe by rule_name, the skip-without-markers warning and the plugin-presence reminder below are all implemented in it:

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/security-init.sh" --repo . [--dry-run]

Development checkout fallback: bash plugins/sdlc/scripts/security-init.sh --repo . --dev-root .. You never merge YAML yourself; the algorithm below documents what the script does and is the fallback only when jq is missing (exit 3).

Algorithm

1. Detect active stack plugins

Same detection logic as /sdlc:list-stacks — find all installed stack.md files and evaluate their detect rules against the current working directory. Collect the winning plugin(s). Always include:

  • sdlc core (base patterns apply to every project)
  • js-foundation (if any JS/TS stack is active)

2. Collect security-patterns fragments

For each active plugin (sdlc core first, then js-foundation, then stack plugins in priority order):
