trailofbits-security

trailofbits-security is a skill for Claude Code from georgekhananaev/claude-skills-vault. It costs 53 tokens per session (399 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-auditing toolkit for scanning source code with Semgrep and CodeQL and processing SARIF scan reports. Semgrep finds code patterns quickly, while CodeQL traces how data moves through a program.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for security audits, quick vulnerability scans, deeper data-flow analysis, and aggregating scan results in development or CI systems.
Why use it?
It helps identify and organize potential vulnerabilities, remove duplicate findings, and prioritize issues for review or continuous integration.

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

trailofbits-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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Trail of Bits Security Skills

Security-focused static analysis and code auditing toolkit from Trail of Bits.

Available Sub-Skills

Skill File Use When
CodeQL Analysis codeql-SKILL.md Deep interprocedural taint tracking, data flow analysis
Semgrep Scanning semgrep-SKILL.md Fast pattern-based security scanning with parallel execution
SARIF Parsing sarif-parsing-SKILL.md Processing and aggregating static analysis results

When to Use

  • Security audit of a codebase -> Start with Semgrep for speed, then CodeQL for depth
  • Quick vulnerability scan -> Semgrep with "important only" mode
  • Deep data flow analysis -> CodeQL with custom data extensions
  • Processing scan results -> SARIF parsing for aggregation, deduplication, CI/CD integration

Workflow

  1. Run Semgrep for fast initial scan (pattern-based)
  2. Run CodeQL for deep interprocedural analysis (data flow + taint tracking)
  3. Use SARIF parsing to aggregate, deduplicate, and prioritize findings
  4. Review and triage results by severity

Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.
