security-audit

security-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering. It costs 81 tokens per session (2,012 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A security audit that traces attacker-controlled input to dangerous code and checks dependencies for known vulnerabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing a codebase for security weaknesses and known dependency vulnerabilities.
Why use it?
It helps find exploitable issues in request handling, background jobs, authentication, access control, client-side code, and third-party packages.

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-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Security audit

Find issues an attacker could actually exploit. The unit of work is a trace: attacker-controlled input → the path it travels → the dangerous sink it reaches. A finding without that trace is a guess.

Read .claude/review/CONVENTIONS.md first — stack detection, scope, severity, false-positive gate, report format, and the installed-version rule. That last one matters here more than anywhere: frameworks change their security defaults between versions, and half of what a reviewer "knows" about a framework's escaping, CSRF, or cookie behavior is version-specific. Verify against the installed source before reporting a missing protection the framework provides by default — or an assumed protection it does not provide.

This is defensive review of code the user owns. Report vulnerabilities with enough detail to fix them — the trace and the fix, not a weaponized exploit.

1. Map the trust boundaries for this stack

Before judging anything, write down which side of the wire each thing lives on. The boundaries differ by architecture, so derive them rather than assuming:

  • Untrusted — request bodies, query and path params, headers, cookies, form data, uploaded files, webhook payloads, message-queue contents, and anything from a third-party API. Also: anything a client can set that the server later trusts.
  • Server-only — code paths that never ship to a client, and the secrets they read.
  • Public — everything reachable from the client bundle or a downloadable artifact, every environment variable exposed by the framework's public-variable convention, and any config baked into a build. All of it is readable by anyone, regardless of whether it is obvious in the UI.

Identify the framework's specific mechanism for each: how it marks a module as server-only, which env-var prefix it inlines into client builds, and where its request-handling boundary sits. Get these from the installed docs or source.

2. Enumerate the attack surface

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.

security-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering (61 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 2,012 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-12.
