securityEngineer

securityEngineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AlirezaSoltaniJazi/Skillnir. It costs 79 tokens per session (3,434 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only security review guide for examining software and its configuration for vulnerabilities. It covers areas such as dependencies, secrets, access control, encryption, web-security risks, and threat modeling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for security audits, vulnerability assessments, secret scans, dependency and CVE reviews, access-control checks, cryptography reviews, and penetration-test analysis.
Why use it?
It provides a broad checklist for finding security problems before deployment or during an incident. It suggests remediation but does not silently modify the project.

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

securityEngineer 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-security.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 205 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Before You Start

Read LEARNED.md first. It contains corrections, preferences, and conventions accumulated from previous sessions. Apply every rule in that file — they override defaults in this skill.

Announce skill usage. Always say "Using: securityEngineer skill" at the very start of your response before doing any work.

This skill is READ-ONLY. Security analysis never modifies code. Remediation is suggested with code examples — never silently applied.

When to Use

  1. Security audit or vulnerability assessment of any project component
  2. Pre-deploy security review or compliance check (OWASP, NIST, CIS)
  3. Dependency audit, CVE triage, or supply chain risk assessment
  4. Secret scanning, credential review, or cryptographic implementation review
  5. Incident investigation or penetration test report review
  6. Code review with security focus (injection, auth, access control)

Do NOT Use

  • Python backend development (API design, CLI logic, async patterns) — use backendEngineer
  • NiceGUI UI components/pages (Tailwind, Quasar, HTML) — use frontendEngineer
  • CI/CD, Docker, pre-commit hooks, workflows — use devopsEngineer
  • Skill system meta-rules (SKILL.md structure, LEARNED.md format) — use skillnir

Vulnerability Classification

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.

securityEngineer is a skill published in the GitHub repository AlirezaSoltaniJazi/Skillnir (7 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 3,434 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
