security-patch-advisor

security-patch-advisor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 70 tokens per session (3,017 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A security remediation guide that explains how to fix known weaknesses in software, such as injection flaws, buffer overflows, unsafe deserialization, and weak cryptography. It recommends safer designs and code changes without editing the code automatically.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after security scans, audits, penetration tests, or vulnerability reports to plan fixes, replace unsafe APIs, and improve security designs.
Why use it?
It helps developers move from finding a vulnerability to choosing and prioritizing an appropriate fix. It also explains the trade-offs between different remediation options.

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-patch-advisor 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 9d 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 Patch Advisor

Overview

This skill analyzes security vulnerabilities and provides comprehensive remediation strategies without automatically modifying code. It offers multiple remediation approaches with detailed trade-off analysis, code examples, and implementation guidance for vulnerabilities categorized by CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) and severity.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need:

  • Remediation strategies for detected security vulnerabilities
  • Safer API alternatives for insecure code patterns
  • Design-level security improvements
  • Multiple remediation approaches with trade-offs
  • Code examples showing before/after fixes
  • Prioritized remediation plans based on severity and impact
  • Security best practices for specific vulnerability types

Trigger scenarios:

  • After running static analysis tools (SAST)
  • After security audits or penetration testing
  • When reviewing code for security issues
  • When planning security improvements
  • After vulnerability disclosure or CVE reports

Core Workflow

1. Vulnerability Analysis

When presented with a security vulnerability, analyze:

Context Gathering:

  • Vulnerability type and CWE classification
  • Severity level (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
  • Affected code location and scope
  • Current implementation details
  • Attack vectors and exploitation scenarios
  • Business impact and data sensitivity

Questions to Consider:

  • What is the root cause of the vulnerability?
  • What data or systems are at risk?
  • What are the prerequisites for exploitation?
  • Are there existing security controls?
  • What is the attack surface?

2. Remediation Strategy Development

Provide multiple remediation approaches:

Strategy Components:

  1. Primary Remediation (recommended approach)

    • Specific code changes required
    • Safer API alternatives
    • Security controls to implement
    • Validation and sanitization logic
  2. Alternative Approaches

    • Different implementation strategies
    • Framework-specific solutions
    • Defense-in-depth measures
    • Compensating controls

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.
