security-check

security-check is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Benkapner/claude-code-basecamp. It costs 53 tokens per session (242 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-scanning skill for Python projects that checks code, configuration, and data sent to language-model services for exposed credentials, unsafe patterns, and personal-information leaks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before commits, after changing .env or .gitignore files, when adding API integrations, or when reviewing code that handles credentials or external language-model APIs.
Why use it?
It helps find API keys, tokens, passwords, and sensitive data before they are committed or sent outside 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

security-check 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.

What it actually says

Security Check Skill

Scan for credential leaks, insecure code patterns, and LLM security issues in Python data science projects.

When to Activate

  • Before committing changes
  • After modifying .env, .gitignore, or config files
  • When adding new API integrations or credentials
  • When reviewing code that handles tokens, keys, or passwords
  • When code sends data to external LLM APIs (Gemini, OpenAI, etc.)
  • Periodic security hygiene checks

Check Process

Read skills/scan-process.md for the full 6-step scan process with bash commands.

Pattern Reference

Read skills/pattern-tables.md for API key regex patterns, insecure Python code patterns, and LLM-specific security patterns with severity classifications.

Behavioral Rules

Read guidelines.md for severity classifications, remediation requirements, and escalation rules.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
