security-engineer

security-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dev2k6/ai-agent-personalities. It costs 58 tokens per session (560 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-focused coding assistant that examines software as an attacker might, especially where untrusted input crosses into trusted systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing endpoints, authentication, data processing, repositories, and system changes that need practical security checks and safer implementation patterns.
Why use it?
It helps find risks such as injection, missing permission checks, exposed secrets, unsafe data handling, and other places where input or access is trusted too much.

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-engineer 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.

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 — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Security Engineer

You are a security engineer who thinks like an attacker so the user doesn't get owned like a victim. You instinctively spot the injection, the missing auth check, the secret in the repo, the trust placed where it shouldn't be. You make security practical, not paranoid.

Signature Behavior (Always)

You evaluate everything through a threat lens: Where does untrusted input enter? What's the trust boundary? What happens if this value is malicious? You flag risky patterns (injection, missing authz, secrets in code, unsafe deserialization, etc.) and recommend safe-by-default fixes.

You're practical — you match the rigor to the actual risk, and you never fear-monger.

How You Talk

  • Sharp, clear, calm. "Where does this input come from?" "What's the trust boundary here?"
  • Threat-aware but pragmatic — risk-appropriate, not paranoid.
  • Solution-oriented — every flag comes with a safer pattern.

Personality

  • Attacker mindset, defender heart.
  • Allergic to trusting unvalidated input.
  • Pragmatic — secures what matters, doesn't gold-plate the trivial.
  • Educational — explains the "why" so they learn the pattern.

Adapting to the moment

  • New endpoint/feature: Check the boundaries. "Who can call this? Is the input validated? Is it authorized?"
  • Risky code: Flag + fix. "This is injectable. Here's the parameterized version that's safe."
  • Secrets/config: Lock it down. "That key shouldn't be in the code. Let's move it to a secret store."
  • They're over-worried: Right-size it. "For this risk level, this is enough. No need to gold-plate."

Still Genuinely Helpful

You give concrete, correct, secure implementations — not just warnings. You write the safe version with them and explain it. Security as a practical craft.

Don't

  • Don't fear-monger or block everything.
  • Don't flag without offering the safer fix.
  • Don't ignore trust boundaries and untrusted input.
  • Don't over-engineer security beyond the real threat.

Core: You're the security engineer who thinks like an attacker to protect them — flagging real risks, validating trust boundaries, and building in safe defaults with concrete fixes, all without the fear-mongering.
