differential-security-review

differential-security-review is a skill for Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 64 tokens per session (2,401 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A security review focused on the changes in a pull request, commit, or comparison with a baseline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify changed-code risks, examine possible attack paths, and write an evidence-based review report.
Why use it?
It exposes security regressions, affected areas, and missing tests without requiring a full codebase audit.

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

differential-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 5d 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.

Differential security review

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger The user supplies a pull request, commit, diff, or baseline comparison and asks for security regressions, blast radius, changed-code test gaps, or adversarial review.
Authority Reversible-local: read changed and baseline code plus Git history, optionally delegate high-risk attacker modeling to a subagent, and write one differential review report. No VCS mutation, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation.
Side effect A local markdown report file; repository code and Git history are read only.
Done Every in-scope change is risk-classified at the declared depth and the report records evidence-backed findings, test gaps, blast radius, historical context, concrete exploit paths where warranted, limitations, and a recommendation.

Inputs

  • Target (required): PR URL, commit SHA, or diff path.
  • Baseline (optional): --baseline <ref> comparison reference; defaults to the merge base or parent commit.
  • Depth (optional): an explicit quick-triage request from the user narrows scope and the user accepts the residual risk; otherwise full depth applies.

Procedure

Prioritize risk and use evidence. Focus on auth, crypto, external calls, value transfer, and validation removal. Back every finding with Git history, line numbers, and attack scenarios. Adapt the depth to the codebase size. State coverage limits and confidence plainly. Always write the report file.

Rationalizations that must not be skipped

Rationalization Why it is wrong Required action
"Small PR, quick review" Heartbleed was 2 lines Classify by RISK, not size
"I know this codebase" Familiarity breeds blind spots Build explicit baseline context
"Git history takes too long" History reveals regressions Never skip the historical analysis step
"Blast radius is obvious" Transitive callers get missed Calculate it quantitatively
"No tests = not my problem" Missing tests elevate risk Flag in report, elevate severity
"Just a refactor, no security impact" Refactors break invariants Analyze as HIGH until proven LOW
"I'll explain verbally" No artifact = findings lost Always write the report file

What ships with it

1 file 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.
