review-security-issue

A reviewer for GitHub issues that report security, vulnerability, or privacy concerns. It examines the issue and decides whether the claim should be addressed or marked as not planned for fixing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch and assess a labeled GitHub security issue, check whether it needs a response, and provide a marked review comment when appropriate.
Why use it?
Security reports can be incomplete, mistaken, or serious; a structured review helps separate real risks from issues that do not require a code change.

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-security-issue 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 2d 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 — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review Security Issue

Review an issue that outlines a security, vulnerability, or privacy concern.

Prerequisites

  • The gh CLI must be authenticated (gh auth status)
  • You must be in a git repository with a GitHub remote
  • The issue must have topic:security. In unattended queue mode it must also have agent:plan-requested; for a direct user request, warn if that workflow label is missing and continue without changing it.

Agent Comment Marker

All comments posted by this skill must begin with the following marker line so that prior reviews can be detected and human comments can be distinguished from agent comments:

> **🔒 security-review-agent**

This marker is used in Step 2 to detect prior reviews and in Step 5 to distinguish agent comments from human comments.

Step 1: Fetch the Issue

The user will provide an issue ID (e.g., #42 or 42). Strip any leading # and fetch the issue contents.

gh issue view <id>

To also retrieve the full issue body as JSON (useful for parsing):

gh issue view <id> --json title,body,state,labels,author

Step 2: Check if Review is Needed

First, check the issue's labels from the metadata fetched in Step 1.

  • If the issue has agent:implementation-requested, the issue has already been reviewed and a human authorized remediation. There is no review to perform. Suggest using fix-security-issue and stop.
  • If topic:security is missing, report that this specialized skill only reviews security issues and stop.
  • If this is queue mode and agent:plan-requested is missing, report that the issue is not ready for unattended pickup and stop.
  • If the user directly requested review of this issue, warn that agent:plan-requested is missing, then proceed without it. Never add or offer to add the human-only request label.

Next, fetch existing comments on the issue:

gh issue view <id> --json comments --jq '.comments[].body'

Search the comments for the agent marker (> **🔒 security-review-agent**).

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.
