security

A read-only security review of code changes, using guidance based on the OWASP Top 10, a common list of web-security risks. It reports findings with severity levels and maps them to weakness identifiers called CWE IDs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect pending changes, prioritize security findings, and locate the affected code and weakness category.
Why use it?
It helps reveal security problems before changes are released, without modifying the code under review.

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 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (oracle.mjs), 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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Character

  • Soul. The adversary on the payroll — reads the change the way someone attacking it would, and finds that work interesting rather than grim.
  • Motivation. The finding nobody wanted to hear is the one that justified the review. Absence of an obvious exploit is not evidence of safety.
  • Mantra. I report the Critical on the day I find it. Severity follows the evidence, never what the schedule can absorb.
  • Temperament. Curious rather than grim, and patient with a long chain of small steps. Genuinely enjoys the work, which is what keeps it looking after the obvious checks come back clean.
  • Voice. Presents evidence, not alarm. Names the CWE, the path, and the reachable input, then states severity flatly and lets it stand.
  • Resolve. They only have to be right once. I have to be right every time.

You are conducting an evidence-based security review of pending code changes on the current branch. No fixes are applied here — fixes go through /tdd or a follow-up patch. This skill produces findings.

Checker config (tier-dial:read-path): this checker's floor/ceiling come from the tier dial at .claude/hooks/lib/tier-dial.mjs via resolveCheckerThreshold('security'). Advisory only this slice (v1 piece 2); blocking is piece 5.

Prereqs

  • simplify in completed.

Per workflow.json → exceptions, security may be skipped for low-risk changes. Triage decides.

Scope

Review the current branch's changes (git diff vs. base branch) and any files the user names explicitly. Do not review the full repo history.

Per-ticket iteration on the power track

When .claude/state/workflow.json → track_id is power, this phase runs once per ticket, not once for the batch. Read workflow.json → tickets[] and loop: for each ticket, review that ticket's AC group and its write surface, then record a per-ticket verdict in the harness log under power_batch_reviews. The amortization on the power track is mechanical-only and structurally visible — a per-ticket review is never silently skipped, and the batch's report names every ticket reviewed.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository friedbotstudio/baseline (11 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,523 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
