swe:security-audit

swe:security-audit is a skill for Claude Code from ckorhonen/swe-skills. It costs 108 tokens per session (1,610 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository security audit focused on packages your software depends on. A monorepo is one repository containing multiple services or projects; the audit can review these package areas for vulnerabilities, security-relevant outdated versions, license problems, and dependency-maintenance gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking manifests and lockfiles, reviewing package ecosystems service by service, finding vulnerable or stale dependencies, checking licenses, and producing a consolidated dependency-security report.
Why use it?
It gathers dependency and package evidence into one report instead of requiring separate checks for each service. It helps distinguish package-related risks from broader code or threat-model reviews.

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

swe: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 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.

SWE Security Audit

What This Skill Does

Use this skill to run a dependency- and package-surface-focused security audit across a repository, workspace, or monorepo.

The primary job is to find evidence-backed issues in:

  • Vulnerabilities
  • Outdated dependencies with real security relevance
  • License issues
  • Dependency hygiene gaps that materially weaken auditability

When To Use

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • Audit a repo or monorepo for vulnerable packages
  • Check dependency freshness and license risk
  • Review package surfaces service by service
  • Produce one consolidated dependency-security report

Do Not Use

Do not use this skill for:

  • A broad application code review
  • Threat modeling
  • Hand-auditing runtime bugs unrelated to dependencies or manifests
  • Guessing about security posture without manifests, lockfiles, or scanners

Inputs To Confirm

Confirm or infer:

  • Repo or package scope
  • Whether the audit should include all services or only selected units
  • Which package managers and ecosystems are present
  • What scanners or audit tools are available locally

Parallelization Rule

Create one session per service or package when the environment supports parallel agent work.

  • Run up to 10 sessions at a time
  • Give each session a disjoint surface area
  • Have each session return raw evidence, not just conclusions
  • Compile the final report centrally after the sessions finish

If parallel sessions are unavailable, process the units in local batches and keep the same report shape.

Instructions

Step 1: Identify Audit Units

Inspect the repository and group the codebase into the smallest practical independent audit surfaces, such as:

  • Services
  • Apps
  • Packages
  • Libraries
  • Deployable components

Step 2: Detect Each Unit's Ecosystem

For every unit, determine the ecosystem and package manager in use so the correct scanner or audit command can be chosen.

Step 3: Run The Strongest Available Checks

Run the most appropriate security, dependency, and license checks for each surface. Prefer the package manager and scanners already used by the repo.

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.
