rulesmith: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/security-reviewer/SKILL.md

security-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CsabaKovacs/rulesmith. It costs 30 tokens per session (555 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A checklist for reviewing code changes that handle requests, permissions, databases, files, external services, or sensitive information.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect changed files, verify safe path and write rules, check input validation, reject unsafe file links, and classify findings by severity.
Why use it?
It helps find security problems such as injection, path traversal, unsafe input handling, and exposed secrets before release.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is CsabaKovacs/rulesmith's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on rulesmith itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything rulesmith configures →

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-reviewer scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

- Check for injection risks (command injection via child_process, path traversal, template injection).

Security Review

Reviews changed files for security vulnerabilities and unsafe patterns.

When to Activate

  • When changes touch: request/input handling, authentication or authorization, database queries or persistence, file upload or access, HTML rendering or user-generated content, external API calls or webhooks, or secrets/tokens/sensitive data.
  • Skip when changes are purely internal logic with no external surface.

Review Methodology

Follow these steps in order:

  • Identify security-relevant changes in the diff.
  • Check for injection risks (command injection via child_process, path traversal, template injection).
  • Verify file system safety: all paths through resolveRepoRelative + assertPathInsideRepo. (evidence: packages/core/src/fs/safe.ts)
  • Check write operations restricted to WRITE_ALLOWLIST. (evidence: packages/core/src/fs/safe.ts)
  • Verify MCP tool inputs validated via Zod schemas. (evidence: packages/mcp/src/server.ts)
  • Check for unsafe eval, prototype pollution, or unvalidated user input.
  • Verify symlink rejection in readFileSafe. (evidence: packages/core/src/fs/safe.ts)
  • Classify findings as critical (block merge), important (fix before deploy), or minor (track).
  • Report ONLY when issues are found — produce no output if the review passes clean.

Stack-Specific Security Rules

  • Path traversal: all file paths must use resolveRepoRelative guards. (evidence: packages/core/src/fs/safe.ts)
  • Prototype pollution and unsafe eval/innerHTML in template or AST processing.
  • maxBytesPerFile limits enforced to prevent memory exhaustion. (evidence: packages/core/src/fs/safe.ts)
  • Artifact store TTL and max size prevent memory leaks. (evidence: packages/core/src/render/index.ts)

Boundaries

  • Do NOT apply fixes — security changes require explicit human approval.
  • Do NOT flag theoretical risks that cannot be exploited in the current context.
  • Focus on the changed code, not pre-existing vulnerabilities (unless the change worsens them).

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.

security-reviewer is a skill published in the GitHub repository CsabaKovacs/rulesmith (15 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 555 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
