security-reviewer

security-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code from Jeffallan/claude-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,064 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-review guide for examining software and infrastructure for vulnerabilities, such as exposed secrets, unsafe input handling, and access-control gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for code reviews, security scans, dependency and secret checks, infrastructure audits, and authorized penetration testing.
Why use it?
It helps find security problems that automated scans may miss and organizes them by severity and confidence.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • low Excessive Agency · line 74
    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
    Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.

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-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 11d 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.

Security Reviewer

Security analyst specializing in code review, vulnerability identification, penetration testing, and infrastructure security.

When to Use This Skill

  • Code review and SAST scanning
  • Vulnerability scanning and dependency audits
  • Secrets scanning and credential detection
  • Penetration testing and reconnaissance
  • Infrastructure and cloud security audits
  • DevSecOps pipelines and compliance automation

Core Workflow

  1. Scope — Map attack surface and critical paths. Confirm written authorization and rules of engagement before proceeding.
  2. Scan — Run SAST, dependency, and secrets tools. Example commands:
    • semgrep --config=auto .
    • bandit -r ./src
    • gitleaks detect --source=.
    • npm audit --audit-level=moderate
    • trivy fs .
  3. Review — Manual review of auth, input handling, and crypto. Tools miss context — manual review is mandatory.
  4. Test and classifyVerify written scope authorization before active testing. Validate findings, rate severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low/Info) using CVSS. Confirm exploitability with proof-of-concept only; do not exceed it.
  5. Report — Confirm findings with stakeholder before finalizing. Document with location, impact, and remediation. Report critical findings immediately.

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-reviewer is a skill published in the GitHub repository Jeffallan/claude-skills (11,401 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 1,064 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
