taskbounty-security

taskbounty-security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from eliottreich/taskbounty-check. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,028 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for checking GitHub Actions and continuous-integration workflow hygiene before release. It uses a local checker to inspect action pinning, workflow permissions, and update automation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review workflow files, interpret the checker’s findings, and draft a fix plan. It does not automatically edit files, commit changes, push code, or open pull requests.
Why use it?
It highlights configuration weaknesses in CI while keeping the scan local; it does not claim to find every application-security problem.

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

taskbounty-security 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 2mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TaskBounty security check (GitHub Actions / CI hygiene)

taskbounty-check is a local, zero-dependency checker for GitHub Actions and CI maintenance hygiene: third-party action pinning, workflow token permissions, and dependency-update automation. It reads workflow files on disk. By default it makes no outbound network requests and uploads nothing.

Scope, stated honestly. This covers GitHub Actions, CI workflow permissions, action pinning, and update automation. It is not a complete application-security audit - it does not check exposed secrets, authentication, payments, webhooks, or runtime behavior. Say so when you report results.

Hard rules for the agent

  • Never upload the user's source code or scan results anywhere. The tool keeps everything local; keep it that way.
  • Never modify files without explicit user approval. Findings and fix plans are proposals.
  • Never commit, push, open pull requests, or post comments automatically. The user does that.
  • Do not add the --gh-org flag unless the user explicitly asks to scan an organization (it is the only mode that uses the network, via the user's own gh session).

1. Run the checker locally (primary)

npx -y [email protected] .

This writes a local report and prints a summary. No network, nothing uploaded. Run it from the repo root (or pass a path). To see what it would do without writing files, add --dry-run.

2. Interpret the findings

Each finding has a rule id and a confidence label (confirmed vs review). Common rules:

  • unpinned-action - a third-party action uses a movable tag/branch (e.g. @v4) instead of a full commit SHA. Movable refs can be re-pointed upstream.
  • broad-permissions / no-permissions-block - the workflow grants (or defaults to) broad GITHUB_TOKEN permissions instead of least privilege.
  • prt-checkout-untrusted / secrets-in-prt - a pull_request_target workflow runs untrusted PR code and/or exposes secrets to it.
  • script-injection - untrusted ${{ github.event.* }} input is interpolated into a run step.

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.
