triage-validation

triage-validation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai. It costs 87 tokens per session (4,714 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of triage-validation, MIT.

A checklist for confirming that a suspected security finding is real, usable, in scope, and worth reporting. It includes questions about reproducing the issue, its impact, severity, and the evidence needed to support it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before writing a vulnerability report to verify attack steps, affected data, real-world consequences, cost, severity, and submission readiness.
Why use it?
It reduces false positives and prevents reports based only on theory or incomplete tests. It also gives you a consistent way to decide which findings should be discarded.

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

triage-validation 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 7d 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.

TRIAGE & VALIDATION

One wrong answer = STOP this finding. Kill the finding. Move on to the next test class.

Scope of "STOP" in this skill: This skill's gates kill INDIVIDUAL FINDINGS that fail validation. They do NOT authorize stopping the engagement. Killing a finding via the 7-Question Gate just means that finding doesn't get submitted — every other test class in the engagement is still pending. See redteam-mindset "DO NOT STOP primary directive" for the coverage-axis rule.

"N/A hurts your validity ratio. Informative is neutral. Only submit what passes all 7 questions."


THE 7-QUESTION GATE

Ask IN ORDER. One wrong answer = STOP immediately.


Q1: Can an attacker use this RIGHT NOW, step by step?

Complete this template:

1. Setup:   I need [own account / another user's ID / no account]
2. Request: [exact HTTP method, URL, headers, body — copy-paste ready]
3. Result:  I can [read / modify / delete] [exact data shown in response]
4. Impact:  The real-world consequence is [account takeover / PII read / money stolen]
5. Cost:    Time: [X minutes], Capital: [$0 / $X subscription required]

If you CANNOT write step 2 as a real HTTP request → KILL IT.


Q2: Is the impact on the program's accepted impact list?

Go to the program page. Find "Vulnerability Types" or "Out of Scope."

Common tiers:

  • Critical: Any-user ATO without interaction, RCE, SQLi with data exfil, admin auth bypass
  • High: Mass PII exfil, privilege escalation, internal SSRF with data, stored XSS all users
  • Medium: IDOR on specific user non-critical data, XSS on sensitive page requiring click
  • Low: Non-sensitive info disclosure, clickjacking with PoC

If your bug maps to a listed exclusion → KILL IT.


Q3: Is the root cause in an in-scope asset?

Confirm:

  • Vulnerable domain is on the in-scope list (not *.internal.target.com)
  • It's a production asset (not staging/dev unless explicitly in scope)
  • It's not a third-party service the company just uses (not Stripe, Salesforce, Google Auth)
