security-review

security-review is a skill for Claude Code from bestdeejay-design/agent-skills. It costs 115 tokens per session (1,518 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-review workflow for finding dependency files and organizing results from code and dependency scanners. Dependency scanners check third-party packages, while code scanners inspect source for security problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory npm, Python, Rust, Go, Ruby, Java, PHP and other project dependencies, choose suggested scanners, interpret exit codes and normalize JSON reports. The actual scans require the listed external tools.
Why use it?
Different security tools use different exit codes and report formats, making results easy to misread or compare poorly. This workflow classifies those outcomes and combines findings into one consistent format.

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-review 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/security_review.py), 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.

Security Review — dependency & static analysis orchestration

Load this skill when you need to run a security review of a codebase: audit the dependency manifest/lockfile inventory, decide which scanner to run per ecosystem, interpret scanner exit codes correctly (real findings vs. infrastructure errors), and normalize reports from different tools into one unified schema for a final report.

The helper script is offline by design — it inventories, classifies, and normalizes. Actual scans are executed by the well-known external tools listed below (install once locally or in CI).


The helper script

scripts/security_review.py — pure Python 3 stdlib (no dependencies).

Command Purpose
security_review.py inventory --dir . List dependency locks with ecosystem + suggested tool
security_review.py inventory --dir . --json Same, machine-readable
security_review.py classify --tool semgrep --exit-code 1 Explain what a tool exit code means
security_review.py normalize --tool osv-scanner --input out.json Flatten a tool JSON report into unified findings
security_review.py normalize --tool pip-audit --input pip.json --output report.json Save unified report
security_review.py report --root . Report skeleton (markdown default, --json for JSON)

Lockfile inventory (per-ecosystem suggested tool)

Lockfile / manifest Ecosystem Suggested tool
package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock npm / pnpm / yarn npm audit / osv-scanner
requirements*.txt, pyproject.toml, Pipfile.lock, poetry.lock pip pip-audit
Cargo.lock cargo cargo audit
go.mod, go.sum go osv-scanner
Gemfile.lock gem osv-scanner
pom.xml, build.gradle(.kts) maven / gradle osv-scanner / dependency-check
composer.lock composer osv-scanner

package.json alone (no lockfile) is still reported, so gate or scan it with npm audit.

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.
