route-security-work

route-security-work is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gaelic-ghost/socket. It costs 46 tokens per session (493 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A decision guide for identifying what kind of cybersecurity help a request needs before any tools run. It distinguishes investigation, testing, incident response, remediation, and security advice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify concerns involving files, links, messages, malware, vulnerabilities, hosts, identities, networks, applications, or active incidents.
Why use it?
It prevents ambiguous requests from leading to unsafe probing, execution of suspicious content, or work handled by the wrong process.

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

route-security-work 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.

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.

Route Security Work

Overview

Turn the user's concern into one bounded security question, identify the affected surface, and select the smallest safe owner workflow. Do not begin active probing or execute suspicious content during routing.

Read references/routing-map.md when ownership or the difference between investigation, testing, response, and remediation is unclear.

Workflow

  1. State the requested decision.

    • Capture what the user needs to know or do now.
    • Separate “is this dangerous?” from “how does it work?”, “am I affected?”, and “how do I fix it?”.
  2. Identify the surface.

    • Classify the primary subject as content or artifact, endpoint, identity, network/service, application/source, vulnerability report, or active incident.
    • Record the relevant artifact, host, account, service, repository, target, and time window.
  3. Establish authority and urgency.

    • For inspection and defensive response, confirm the user controls or is responsible for the affected surface.
    • Before active testing, require the target owner, allowed targets, exclusions, time window, techniques, stop conditions, and contacts.
    • If harm is ongoing, route immediate containment separately from evidence preservation.
  4. Choose the next owner.

    • Use preserve-security-evidence before transformations or volatile state disappears.
    • Use select-analysis-isolation before opening or executing untrusted content.
    • Use assess-and-explain-threat when evidence exists but the practical conclusion is unclear.
    • Route deep binary work to reverse-engineering-skills and repository-wide source scans to Codex Security when available.
    • Route ordinary implementation or remediation to the owning Apple, protocol, language, or framework skill after the security acceptance criteria are explicit.
  5. Report the route.

    • Name the selected workflow, why it fits, what is intentionally deferred, and the first non-destructive action.
    • Preserve uncertainty rather than selecting a dramatic path from weak evidence.

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.
