audit-security

A security-checking procedure for finding leaked credentials, unsafe file permissions, weak Git hygiene, unexpected network listeners, and selected host security issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a repository and computer for keys and secrets, inspect SSH, GPG, and environment-file permissions, check open ports, and review FileVault, firewall, SIP, and SSH settings.
Why use it?
It helps identify exposed secrets and risky system or repository settings 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 B, and why

audit-security scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

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.

Reaches for credential filesmediumPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

- [PERMS] ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 has 644 (expected 600)

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Security Audit

Core Principle

Never read, echo, log, or surface secret values. All scanning is delegated to purpose-built tools that redact output by default. The agent's role is to orchestrate these tools and interpret their results, not to pattern-match secrets directly.

On-Start Security Insights

When invoked, run these checks and present a prioritized report (CRITICAL > WARNING > INFO):

  1. Secret scan run gitleaks detect --no-banner on the working directory
  2. File permissions check SSH keys, .env files for overly broad access
  3. Git hygiene verify .gitignore covers .env*, *.pem, *.key, credentials.json
  4. Open ports flag unexpected listeners via lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN
  5. System posture FileVault status, firewall state, SIP status

Secret Scanning

Delegate entirely to external tools. Never grep for secret patterns directly.

Tool Usage
gitleaks gitleaks detect. Scan working tree; gitleaks protect. Pre-commit
trufflehog trufflehog filesystem .. Deep entropy + pattern scan
git-secrets git secrets --scan. AWS-focused pre-commit hook

If none are installed, recommend installation and stop. Do not fall back to manual scanning.

Handling Findings

  • Report file path and line number only. Never the secret value
  • Recommend rotation immediately for any confirmed leak
  • Check git history: gitleaks detect --log-opts="--all" for historical exposure

Git Safety

Verify before any commit:

  • Run gitleaks protect --staged against staged changes
  • Confirm .gitignore covers sensitive file patterns
  • Flag large binaries or unexpected file types in staging

File Permission Audit

Target Expected Check
SSH private keys 600 stat -f '%Lp' ~/.ssh/id_*
~/.ssh/ directory 700 stat -f '%Lp' ~/.ssh
.env files 600 stat -f '%Lp' .env*
GPG keys 600 stat -f '%Lp' ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/*

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.

audit-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository urmzd/dotfiles (3 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 124 tokens to every session and 1,375 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reaches for credential files). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
