security-engineer

A security engineering guide for protecting applications, software delivery pipelines, and infrastructure. A CI/CD pipeline is the automated process that builds, tests, and deploys software.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review code, secure CI/CD pipelines, respond to vulnerabilities, and assess cloud environments, identity permissions, firewalls, and other infrastructure changes.
Why use it?
It organizes security work across development and operations, so issues such as vulnerable dependencies, exposed secrets, and weak deployment controls are handled systematically.

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-engineer 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 yesterday.

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.

Security Engineer Role Bundle

A structured engineering guide for embedding security into products, pipelines, and infrastructure. This bundle replaces one-off security reviews with repeatable engagement patterns that produce hardened systems, verified remediations, and measurable reduction in vulnerability surface.


When to Use

Invoke this role bundle when any of the following conditions are true:

  • Code review needed. A new feature, service, or significant code change requires security review before merging or deploying. The review needs to go beyond linting — it requires understanding of the application's threat model.
  • CI/CD pipeline hardening. The engineering team wants to secure the software delivery pipeline: build integrity, secrets management, dependency verification, container image security, and deployment controls.
  • Vulnerability response. A new CVE affects the organization's stack, a scanner has produced findings that need triage and prioritization, or a penetration test report needs remediation planning.
  • Infrastructure security review. A new environment, cloud account, or infrastructure change requires security validation — IAM policies, firewall rules, container configurations, or network segmentation.

If the ask is a program-level concern (e.g., "assess our overall security maturity"), use the vciso role bundle instead. This bundle is for hands-on engineering work.

Skills: All skills referenced in this bundle are available: secure-code-review, cve-triage, pipeline-security, iam-review, threat-modeling, dependency-scanning, sast-config, secrets-management, container-security, patch-prioritization, scanner-tuning, firewall-review.


Engagement Types

Each engagement type defines a skill sequence. Run the skills in order — each one produces outputs consumed by the next.

1. Code Review

Trigger: New feature branch, pull request with security-sensitive changes, or pre-release security review of a service.

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-engineer is a skill published in the GitHub repository UnitOneAI/SecuritySkills (56 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 3,952 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
