security-check

security-check is a skill for Claude Code from nortonx/ai-tooling-free. It costs 60 tokens per session (662 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-security audit procedure based on the OWASP Top 10, a commonly used list of major web application risks. It reviews code and reports evidence, severity, location, an example attack, and a suggested fix.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a whole project or a specified file or directory. It is suited to reviewing routes, authentication, database access, configuration, dependencies, and API security.
Why use it?
It helps find risks such as injection, cross-site scripting, weak login handling, exposed data, unsafe settings, and vulnerable dependencies before they cause harm. Requiring evidence reduces unsupported findings.

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-check 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 7d 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.

Arguments

[<path>]

  • Optional. A file or directory to scope the audit; omit to audit the whole project.
  • Examples: /security-check, /security-check src/api

Copilot CLI note: $ARGUMENTS does not substitute in skills; include the argument inline in your prompt.

Security check: $ARGUMENTS

Audit the code against the OWASP Top 10 and report the findings. Read the relevant code (route handlers, authentication, database access, configuration, dependencies) before asserting anything: a finding without evidence in the code is noise and costs the trust of whoever has to fix it.

Language and style

Write the report in the language of the user's request. Use active voice, short sentences, one idea per paragraph, no decorative emoji, and explain why each risk matters, not only what it is. Keep code identifiers in backticks with their original spelling.

OWASP Top 10

  1. Injection: SQL, NoSQL, OS commands, LDAP, XPath
  2. Authentication and sessions: weak passwords, insecure credential storage, session fixation, missing session timeout
  3. XSS: reflected, stored, DOM-based, missing output encoding
  4. Insecure direct object reference (IDOR): unauthorized access, missing access controls
  5. Security misconfiguration: insecure defaults, unnecessary features enabled, missing security headers, verbose errors
  6. Sensitive data exposure: unencrypted data, weak encryption, leaks in logs or URLs
  7. CSRF: missing or weak CSRF tokens
  8. Vulnerable dependencies: outdated libraries, missing security patches
  9. Logging and monitoring: missing audit trails, inadequate error logging
  10. API security: missing rate limiting, weak authentication, excessive data exposure

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.
