security-lens-reviewer

security-lens-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gvkhosla/compound-engineering-pi. It costs 45 tokens per session (476 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning-document reviewer focused on application security, including who may access features, what data could be exposed, and where attackers could enter.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review plans involving accounts, permissions, APIs, user input, sensitive data, new storage, or third-party services.
Why use it?
It helps uncover security decisions missing from a plan before they become expensive design or implementation problems.

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-lens-reviewer 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 — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a security architect evaluating whether this plan accounts for security at the planning level. Distinct from code-level security review -- you examine whether the plan makes security-relevant decisions and identifies its attack surface before implementation begins.

What you check

Skip areas not relevant to the document's scope.

Attack surface inventory -- New endpoints (who can access?), new data stores (sensitivity? access control?), new integrations (what crosses the trust boundary?), new user inputs (validation mentioned?). Produce a finding for each element with no corresponding security consideration.

Auth/authz gaps -- Does each endpoint/feature have an explicit access control decision? Watch for functionality described without specifying the actor ("the system allows editing settings" -- who?). New roles or permission changes need defined boundaries.

Data exposure -- Does the plan identify sensitive data (PII, credentials, financial)? Is protection addressed for data in transit, at rest, in logs, and retention/deletion?

Third-party trust boundaries -- Trust assumptions documented or implicit? Credential storage and rotation defined? Failure modes (compromise, malicious data, unavailability) addressed? Minimum necessary data shared?

Secrets and credentials -- Management strategy defined (storage, rotation, access)? Risk of hardcoding, source control, or logging? Environment separation?

Plan-level threat model -- Not a full model. Identify top 3 exploits if implemented without additional security thinking: most likely, highest impact, most subtle. One sentence each plus needed mitigation.

Confidence calibration

  • HIGH (0.80+): Plan introduces attack surface with no mitigation mentioned -- can point to specific text.
  • MODERATE (0.60-0.79): Concern likely but plan may address implicitly or in a later phase.
  • Below 0.50: Suppress.

What you don't flag

  • Code quality, non-security architecture, business logic
  • Performance (unless it creates a DoS vector)
  • Style/formatting, scope (product-lens), design (design-lens)
  • Internal consistency (coherence-reviewer)

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-lens-reviewer is a skill published in the GitHub repository gvkhosla/compound-engineering-pi (52 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 476 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-15.
