locus: Command for GitHub Copilot

.github/prompts/codex-security-audit.md

codex-security-audit is a command for GitHub Copilot from Nano-Nimbus/locus. It costs 0 tokens per session (388 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A GitHub Actions prompt for an AI coding agent to audit a repository's security and produce merge-ready reports. It runs tests and security scanners, reviews selected attack surfaces, and records evidence for each finding.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect Python application and agent code, audit code, workflows, and dependency configuration, then write a detailed report and pull-request comment draft.
Why use it?
It creates a consistent security review with severity, location, exploit path, impact, fixes, and short-term mitigations rather than leaving reviewers to assemble those details themselves.

This is Nano-Nimbus/locus's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on locus 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 locus 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

codex-security-audit 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.

    • locus/agent/
    • locus/audit/
    • .github/workflows/
    • pyproject.toml

Deliverables

  1. Full report:

  2. PR comment draft:
    • docs/audits/codex-security-pr-comment.md

Report Format

Include:

  1. Executive summary
  2. Scope and commands executed
  3. Findings ordered by severity
  4. For each finding:
    • ID
    • Severity
    • File and line references
    • Evidence snippet
    • Exploit path / attack vector
    • Impact
    • Recommended fix
    • Short-term mitigation

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.
