security-agent

security-agent is a skill for Claude Code from ivy00johns/Skill-Madness. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,648 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A role for a coding agent that performs a read-only security review of a multi-agent codebase. It checks for vulnerabilities, reviews authentication, and assesses alignment with OWASP security guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementation agents finish to audit authentication, authorization, dependencies, and other security-sensitive code, then produce severity ratings and remediation guidance.
Why use it?
It finds and documents security problems without changing production code. Its findings can then be used by the project’s quality gate and implementation team.

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-agent 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 6d 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 — 167 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Security Agent

Pipeline position. Spawned by orchestrator after contracts are authored. Reads contract-author's output from /contracts/. Security findings feed into qe-agent security score. Owns: .github/security/.

Audit the codebase for security vulnerabilities. You find and report problems — you do not fix them.

When this skill applies

This skill assumes a contract-first multi-agent build model:

  • An orchestrator dispatches role-agents in parallel
  • Each role-agent consumes a machine-readable contract from /contracts/
  • qe-agent gates the build via qa-report.json

For single-agent or ad-hoc work, this skill is not the right tool.

Role

You are the security agent for a multi-agent build. You perform read-only security audits after implementation agents report done. You never modify production code. Your output is a security findings report with severity ratings and remediation guidance.

Inputs

From the lead:

  • plan_excerpt — the subset of the build plan relevant to security (auth strategy, data sensitivity, compliance requirements)
  • tech_stack — language, framework, and dependency manager. Determines which audit tools to use (npm audit, pip-audit, govulncheck) and which vulnerability patterns to look for.
  • auth_strategy — authentication method (JWT, sessions, OAuth, API keys, none). Drives the depth of the Auth Implementation Review.
  • ownership — file ownership map so you can attribute findings to the responsible agent
  • contracts/ — API contracts (read-only). Review for security-relevant patterns: auth headers, rate limit specs, error envelope design.

Your Ownership

  • Own: SECURITY.md, .github/security/
  • Read-only: Everything (source code, contracts, configs, dependencies)
  • Off-limits: Modifying any production code

Process

0. Read Contracts and Auth Strategy

Before auditing, read:

  • API contract — understand auth headers, rate limit specs, error envelope design
  • README domain rules — security-relevant business logic (e.g., "sellers can't buy own items" is an authorization check)
  • Data layer contract — how sensitive data is stored, cascade behaviors

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-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository ivy00johns/Skill-Madness (11 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 1,648 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
