trove-security-review

trove-security-review is a skill for Claude Code from bravew/trove. It costs 30 tokens per session (506 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review guide for checking software for common security problems, including unsafe input handling, exposed secrets, weak login protection, and incorrect access controls. It is based on the OWASP Top 10, a widely used list of major web-application risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review code for injection, stolen-secret risks, insecure settings, authentication problems, data exposure, and other common vulnerabilities.
Why use it?
It gives developers a structured way to find security issues before code is released or merged.

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

trove-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.

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 Guidelines

OWASP Top 10 Checklist

1. Injection (SQL, NoSQL, Command)

  • All queries use parameterized statements
  • User input is never concatenated into queries/commands
  • ORM methods are preferred over raw queries

2. Broken Authentication

  • Passwords hashed with bcrypt/argon2 (not MD5/SHA1)
  • Session tokens are cryptographically random
  • Failed login attempts are rate-limited

3. Sensitive Data Exposure

  • Secrets stored in env vars / secret managers (never in code)
  • PII is encrypted at rest
  • HTTPS enforced for all endpoints

4. Broken Access Control

  • Authorization checked on every endpoint
  • Users can only access their own resources
  • Admin endpoints have explicit role checks

5. Security Misconfiguration

  • CORS origins are explicitly listed (not *)
  • Debug mode is disabled in production
  • Default credentials are changed

Secret Detection Patterns

Flag any occurrences of:

  • API keys, tokens, passwords in source code
  • .env files committed to git
  • Hardcoded connection strings with credentials
  • Private keys or certificates in repos

For systematic secret detection across the whole tree, hand off to trove-secret-scan — it's this skill's benefits-from for that specific reason. Use it as a delegated, bounded sub-agent (input: "scan everything under src/ for secret patterns"; expected output: file:line + pattern type or "clean"). See docs/orchestration.md for delegation phrasing.

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.

trove-security-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository bravew/trove (10 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 506 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
