security-review

security-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Karthick-Ramachandran/persist-os. It costs 48 tokens per session (409 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review process for proposed code or project changes. It examines files, paths, links, dependencies, secrets, network access, external tools, and related risks before acceptance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a change before approval, classify findings as blockers or risks, check security-sensitive tests, and produce review or completion documentation.
Why use it?
Changes can accidentally overwrite files, expose secrets, introduce unsafe dependencies, or expand what the system can access. A structured review helps identify these problems and document acceptable trade-offs.

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-review 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.

What it actually says

Skill: Security Review

Purpose

Find security risks before a change is accepted.

Inputs

  • Change summary or diff.
  • Feature docs.
  • Architecture and security docs.
  • Test results.

Required Reading

  • docs/20-security/SECURITY_MODEL.md
  • docs/20-security/THREAT_MODEL.md
  • docs/10-architecture/FILE_WRITE_POLICY.md
  • docs/60-engineering/ENGINEERING_STANDARDS.md
  • docs/ai/MCP_STRATEGY.md

Output Files

  • Relevant feature REVIEW.md
  • Relevant feature COMPLETION_REPORT.md
  • Security docs, if the accepted behavior changes.

Process

  1. Identify changed trust boundaries.
  2. Check path validation, overwrite policy, symlink policy, and dry-run behavior.
  3. Check dependency, package, template, and preset risk.
  4. Check for network, telemetry, secrets, .env, cloud, AI API, or runtime MCP behavior.
  5. Check tests for security-sensitive behavior.
  6. Classify findings as blockers, risks, or documented acceptable tradeoffs.

Stop Conditions

Stop and request human decision if:

  • Runtime network, telemetry, cloud, MCP, AI API, auth, secrets, storage, or file write behavior changes without ADR or security review.
  • Existing files can be overwritten by default.
  • Writes can escape the project root.
  • Secrets could be read, logged, or generated into docs.
  • Engineering standards are bypassed for secrets, dependencies, migrations, tests, or completion evidence.

Quality Bar

  • Findings are specific and actionable.
  • Security claims cite docs or test evidence.
  • Remaining risks are explicit.
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.
