secure-fix-validation

secure-fix-validation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Robotti-io/copilot-security-instructions. It costs 20 tokens per session (386 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A checklist for checking that a security fix works and does not break existing behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after implementing a security fix or while reviewing a pull request to record reproduction steps, tests, verification evidence, and deployment notes.
Why use it?
It makes the verification cover the original failure, malicious and edge inputs, information leaks, regression tests, and rollout risks.

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

secure-fix-validation 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

Secure Fix Validation

When to use

Use this skill after implementing a security fix, or when reviewing a PR.

Inputs to collect (if available)

  • Vulnerability description and expected secure behavior
  • Repro steps (request, payload, or test)
  • Affected components and entry points
  • Deployment/rollout constraints (feature flags, backwards compatibility)

Step-by-step process

  1. Reproduce the issue pre-fix
    • Minimal failing test or request example
  2. Verify the fix
    • Confirm the repro now fails safely
  3. Regression coverage
    • Add unit/integration tests for:
      • expected valid inputs
      • malicious/edge inputs
      • authorization bypass attempts (if relevant)
  4. Non-functional checks
    • Error handling (no stack traces/secret leakage)
    • Logging redaction (no PII/secrets)
    • Performance impact in hot paths
  5. Rollout safety
    • Feature flags where appropriate
    • Backwards compatibility notes
    • Monitoring/alerts to detect new failure modes

Output

  • Commands run
  • Tests added/updated
  • Verification evidence (logs/screenshots/snippets)
  • Rollout notes

Output format

  • Repro (pre-fix): how it failed
  • Verification (post-fix): what now happens
  • Tests: added/updated + what they cover
  • Evidence: logs/screenshots/snippets (redacted)
  • Rollout notes: monitoring, flags, compatibility

Examples

  • “Fix: block IDOR on /users/:id” → add negative test for cross-user access; verify 403 and tenant scoping on DB query.

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.
