cosmos-ibc-security

cosmos-ibc-security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PlamenTSV/plamen. It costs 58 tokens per session (3,462 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review for Cosmos IBC code, where IBC lets different blockchains exchange messages and assets. It checks cross-chain proofs, channel state, token accounting, light-client versions, and packet handlers.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for auditing Go projects that use Cosmos SDK or ibc-go, especially their IBC channels, proof checks, light clients, and packet-processing code.
Why use it?
It helps find flaws that could accept forged cross-chain data, lose funds, break message ordering, or allow unsafe handler behavior.

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

cosmos-ibc-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 9d 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.

Injectable Skill: Cosmos IBC Security

L1 trigger: L1_PATTERN=true AND IBC (ibc-go / /ibc/ / ics23 / IBC channels detected) Inject Into: depth-consensus-invariant, depth-external Language: Go (Cosmos-SDK / ibc-go) Finding prefix: [IBC-N] Status: v0.1

Orchestrator Decomposition Guide

  • Sections 1, 4: depth-external (cross-chain proof / version trust boundary — the bytes that cross the chain boundary)
  • Sections 2, 3, 5: depth-consensus-invariant (channel sequence, escrow accounting, handler reentrancy — all chain-state / safety class)
  • A single bug can span both lenses; record it once and cross-reference.

When This Skill Activates

Recon detects an IBC integration: go.mod requires github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/..., the tree has an /ibc/ subtree, an ics23 / 23-commitment / 02-client / 04-channel path, or IBC application modules (OnRecvPacket, OnAcknowledgementPacket, OnTimeoutPacket, IBCModule impls). IBC is the trust boundary where bytes from a foreign chain enter local state via a verified proof — proof-verification gaps and packet-handler bugs are the highest-severity class here (forged value acceptance, fund theft, chain halt). Severity baseline is Medium; proof-bypass / fund-loss / chain-halt classes upgrade to High/Critical per docs/l1-mode/severity-matrix.md.

An IBC entry path is any code reachable from OnRecvPacket, OnAcknowledgementPacket, OnTimeoutPacket, OnChanOpenInit/Try/Ack/Confirm, OnChanCloseInit/Confirm, a relayer-submitted MsgRecvPacket / MsgAcknowledgement / MsgTimeout / MsgUpdateClient, or any keeper method consuming a commitment proof. Everything in those paths consumes attacker-influenceable bytes (the relayer is untrusted; the counterparty chain may be malicious) and MUST verify proofs against the correct path/prefix before acting.

1. Merkle / ICS-23 Proof Verification

Check: Every consumption of a cross-chain value must verify a full membership (or non-membership) proof against the counterparty's committed root, using the correct commitment path PREFIX and validating the emitter / source is the expected chain/channel. A proof verified against the wrong path, with a missing prefix, or without binding the value to the expected source, lets a forged value pass (ICS-23 / Dragonberry-class).

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.

cosmos-ibc-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository PlamenTSV/plamen (294 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 3,462 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
