Skill4 starsChanged 2 months agoMITView on GitHub

Run an umbrella web application security review that composes focused audit skills and reports OWASP-style findings. Use before launch, before major releases, after large auth/payment/data changes, or when a user asks for a broad security pass across validation, auth, secrets, rate limits, CORS, database access, resilience, assets, and type safety.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 167 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 5

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 167 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Security Review

Run a broad, evidence-driven security and production-readiness review by composing the focused audit skills in this library.

Workflow

  1. Identify app shape:
    • Frameworks, server entrypoints, client apps, route definitions, auth model, database, deployment config, and test commands.
  2. Run focused sibling skills when applicable:
    • audit-input-validation
    • audit-auth-and-access-control
    • audit-secrets-and-config
    • audit-rate-limiting
    • audit-cors
    • audit-database-performance
    • audit-resilience-and-observability
    • audit-asset-pipeline
    • audit-type-safety
  3. Map results to common risk classes:
    • Broken access control.
    • Injection and unsafe input handling.
    • Cryptographic or secret management failures.
    • Security misconfiguration.
    • Vulnerable operational posture.
    • Identification and authentication failures.
    • Software and data integrity failures.
    • Logging and monitoring failures.
  4. Remove duplicate findings:
    • Keep the finding under the most specific category.
    • Cross-reference related findings when one fix resolves multiple risks.
  5. Validate high-impact claims:
    • Re-read the code path before reporting critical or high severity issues.
    • Include enough file and line evidence that another engineer can reproduce the concern quickly.

Severity Guide

  • Critical: likely account takeover, cross-user data exposure/modification, secret compromise, payment abuse, data loss, or unauthenticated admin action.
  • High: missing server validation on dangerous input, weak auth/session controls, forgeable webhooks, unbounded expensive abuse path, or production-wide misconfiguration.
  • Medium: incomplete coverage that increases exploitability or incident cost.
  • Low: hardening, documentation, or maintainability issue with limited direct exploitability.

Useful Searches

Start with the focused sibling skills' search guidance. For a first pass, search route definitions, auth policy code, config files, env handling, webhook endpoints, upload handlers, database queries, TypeScript bypasses, and production deployment files.

Output

Lead with findings, ordered by severity. Use this shape:

## Findings

### Critical
- `file:line` Title
  Impact: one sentence.
  Evidence: concise code-path summary.
  Fix: concrete change.
  Test: regression test to add or run.

### High
...

## Coverage
- Skills run:
- Areas not applicable:
- Areas not inspected and why:

## Suggested Next Pass
- Short list of follow-up checks or implementation tasks.

Do not pad the report with generic checklist items. If no issues are found in an area, say what was inspected and why it appears covered.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
