review-code-security

A code-review procedure that looks for common security mistakes in implemented software, especially around user input, secrets, and outside services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a file, code change, or diff and receive findings with locations, categories, fixes, and notes about possible false alarms.
Why use it?
It helps catch security problems after coding and checks whether related functions or patterns need the same treatment.

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

review-code-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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/close-concern-round.sh, scripts/open-concern-round.sh, scripts/run-quality-gates.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scan the specified code for security anti-patterns using the same three axes as /review-plan-security. Use after implementation to verify the plan's security goals hold in the actual code.

When to Use

Use when the implementation touches external input, secrets handling, or third-party integrations. Pass a file path, diff, or describe the code to review.

Rules

  • Report each finding with: file/location, pattern category, and recommended fix.
  • Note context for potential false positives (test fixtures, comments, examples).
  • For commit-time auto-scanning of hard secrets (AWS/LLM API keys, PEM keys, GitHub/Slack tokens, .env commits), see docs/scan-outbound.md — those are covered automatically.
  • Sibling sweep: enumerate functions, logic, or patterns the change touches that belong to a class; flag siblings as MUST / OPTIONAL / NA for same treatment.

Procedure

RCS-1. Open the concern round (Bash): bash "$AGENTS_CONFIG_DIR/skills/review-code-security/scripts/open-concern-round.sh" — prints ROUND, PLANS_DIR, SESSION_ID, and the [PRIOR CONCERNS START][PRIOR CONCERNS END] block both producers receive. ROUND=0 means the ledger is unavailable: run RCS-2 and RCS-3, report the NOT-STAGED line, skip the ledger close-out in ## Completion.

RCS-2. Delegate scan to security-scanner, issued together with the RCS-3 quality gates per skills/_shared/subagent-concurrency.md SC-P (independent — both are read-only over the merge-base diff and write no shared target):

Agent({ subagent_type: "security-scanner", prompt: JSON.stringify({
  topic: "security review", context: SCAN_TARGET,
  artifact_dir: PLANS_DIR, prior_concerns: PRIOR_BLOCK
}) })

Pass the RCS-1 block verbatim as prior_concerns; omit the key when RCS-1 printed none. On failed status: surface summary + artifact_path to user. Output: ## Security Review: PERFORMED|FAILED (1 line) + artifact_path pointer. Read report only on failure or explicit user request.

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.

review-code-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository nirecom/agents (3 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 1,677 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
