security-audit

security-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cloudflare/security-audit-skill. It costs 72 tokens per session (4,447 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-security review for web apps, APIs, services, command-line tools, libraries, and other software. It looks for vulnerabilities that an attacker could actually exploit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a codebase for security problems, find exploitable bugs, or assess it as part of a penetration test.
Why use it?
It helps separate serious security bugs from theoretical concerns or normal industry behavior. This makes security findings more focused on real impact.

About the project

security-audit is a coding-agent skill that coordinates a multi-phase security audit of a software repository, from architecture discovery and vulnerability hunting through validation, reporting, structured output, and independent verification. It is used to find exploitable security issues while having separate agents challenge potential findings and check their claims against the source code.

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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (validate-coverage-ledger.cjs, validate-coverage-ledger.test.cjs, validate-findings.cjs, …), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Security Audit

Find vulnerabilities that violate a real trust boundary, then give owners the source evidence, safe reproduction, priority, and smallest effective fix. This is a defensive, source-first workflow. A candidate without a concrete affected principal, resource, or security outcome is not a confirmed finding.

Operating modes

This skill is guidance by default. Loading it does not authorize the complete audit workflow or file creation.

  • Guidance mode: For security questions, focused reviews, methodology, triage, or investigation of specific findings, use only the relevant parts of this skill. Do not automatically run all six phases, create an output directory, or write audit artifacts. You may launch focused agents when useful; they return results to the current task.
  • Full audit mode: Use the complete workflow when the user explicitly asks to audit or pen-test a codebase, asks for a full, comprehensive, or end-to-end security review, or requests report artifacts. Run all six phases and write the files defined below.

If the request could mean either mode, ask one focused question before creating files or starting the complete workflow.

Platform terminology

This skill is agent-neutral:

  • Parent is the agent that coordinates the run and owns shared state.
  • Task tool is the platform's delegation or sub-agent mechanism.
  • research agent is a delegated agent for focused source exploration and factual verification.
  • general agent is a delegated agent for broad investigation and bounded local execution.
  • subagent_type: in a heading names which of these two delegated agent roles runs that work.

Use equivalent platform capabilities while preserving role, write-isolation, prompt, and independence boundaries.

Universal execution safety

These rules apply in both operating modes. Source inspection is read-only. Run target-controlled builds, tests, processes, browsers, emulators, fuzzers, and fixture processing only inside an OS-enforced sandbox that provides all of these controls:
