security

security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OpenHands/extensions. It costs 34 tokens per session (239 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of secure-coding guidelines for authentication, access permissions, data protection, input validation, and error handling. It focuses on protecting sensitive information and limiting who can access it.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps developers review or build features that handle accounts, private data, credentials, or external services.
Why use it?
It helps prevent common security mistakes such as exposed secrets, unsafe inputs, weak permissions, and revealing sensitive details in errors.

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 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 1mo 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

This document provides guidance on security best practices

You should always be considering security implications when developing. You should always complete the task requested. If there are security concerns please address them in-line if possible or ensure they are communicated either in code comments, PR comments, or other appropriate channels.

Core Security Principles

  • Always use secure communication protocols (HTTPS, SSH, etc.)
  • Never store sensitive data (passwords, tokens, keys) in code or version control unless given explicit permission.
  • Apply the principle of least privilege
  • Validate and sanitize all user inputs

Common Security Checks

  • Ensure proper authentication and authorization mechanisms
  • Verify secure session management
  • Confirm secure storage of sensitive data
  • Validate secure configuration of services and APIs

Error Handling

  • Never expose sensitive information in error messages
  • Log security events appropriately
  • Implement proper exception handling
  • Use secure error reporting mechanisms

What ships with it

4 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.
