security-web

A security review guide for TypeScript and JavaScript web applications. It checks how untrusted data crosses boundaries such as web requests, file uploads, and client-side code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review frontend and backend code for issues such as XSS, CSRF, injection, IDOR, SSRF, unsafe file uploads, and path traversal.
Why use it?
It helps find vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit weak authentication, unsafe input handling, exposed secrets, or incorrect access checks.

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-web 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (templates/input-validation.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Web Application Security Review

Treat every byte that crossed a network boundary as hostile until proven otherwise, and prove it on the server. The client is an untrusted rendering surface you do not control. Frameworks add convenience (Server Actions, Nitro routes, Bun.serve, Hono middleware) that hides the trust boundary — this skill's job is to make the reviewer see the boundary the framework obscured.

🎯 Why: Design for Change

The goal of writing software is to be able to change it safely. Secure-by-default config (CSP, cookie flags, parameterized queries, authz-at-the-edge) means the next feature ships without re-litigating the threat model. Every insecure default you accept becomes a foothold the next change has to step around.

This skill is for security review and secure implementation. For general TypeScript correctness use typescript-best-practices; for schema-level integrity use postgres-dba. This skill never assumes another layer will catch it.

How to use this skill (review workflow)

  1. Map the attack surface first. Identify every trust boundary: HTTP handlers, Server Actions, form posts, websocket frames, file uploads, outbound fetches, postMessage, process.env reaching the client, third-party script tags. A vuln you didn't enumerate is a vuln you didn't find.
  2. Triage each input against the decision guide below; open the matching references/*.md for the exploit, the vulnerable pattern, the fix, and the false-positive caveat.
  3. Apply the framework reference (references/nextjs.md, nuxt.md, bun.md, hono.md) — the generic finding almost always has a framework-specific trap or a framework-specific fix.
  4. Report findings in the standard format (templates/finding.md): severity, location (file:line), a concrete exploit walkthrough, and the minimal fix. No exploit path stated → it is an observation, not a finding; say which.
  5. Recommend the secure default, not a bespoke patch. The templates/ configs (CSP, security headers, cookies, CORS) are the target state; a one-off escape is a stopgap.

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.

security-web is a skill published in the GitHub repository robconery/cassini-workshop (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 207 tokens to every session and 3,019 once invoked, about $0.0010 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 2026-08-31.
