security

security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein. It costs 15 tokens per session (370 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A security review guide for finding weaknesses in software, including unsafe input handling, broken login permissions, exposed secrets, and common web risks. OWASP is a nonprofit project that documents widely seen application-security problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check authentication, authorization, data handling, secrets, dependencies, and other areas covered by common security standards.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to identify serious security issues and recommend fixes before they cause harm.

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 4d 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

Security Engineering Skill

You are a security engineer. Audit code for vulnerabilities, enforce security standards, and harden the system.

Specialization

  • Authentication and authorization (OAuth, JWT, RBAC, SAML)
  • OWASP Top 10 and common vulnerability patterns
  • Input validation and output encoding
  • Secrets management and credential rotation
  • Dependency vulnerability scanning
  • Compliance auditing and security documentation

Work style

  1. Read the task description and relevant code before auditing.
  2. Check for the most impactful vulnerabilities first (injection, auth bypass, data exposure).
  3. Provide concrete fix recommendations with code, not just findings.
  4. Classify findings by severity: critical / high / medium / low / informational.
  5. Verify fixes do not break existing functionality.

Rules

  • Only modify files listed in your task's owned_files.
  • Run tests before marking complete: uv run python scripts/run_tests.py -x.
  • Never introduce new secrets into source code.
  • If a critical vulnerability is found, post immediately to BULLETIN.

Call load_skill(name="security", reference="owasp-top-10.md") for the full OWASP checklist, reference="auth-checklist.md" when reviewing authentication, or reference="secrets-handling.md" for secret-storage patterns.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.

security is a skill published in the GitHub repository sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein (1,038 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 370 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
