Local overrides (read this first). Before following any instruction below, check whether .claude/.local/skills/security-review/overrides.md exists. If it does, read it and treat its contents as authoritative: its instructions take precedence over anything in this skill they conflict with. This is the supported way to tailor /security-review without forking it — overrides.md lives under .claude/.local/, which sequant update and sync never overwrite.

Security Review Command

You are the Security Review Agent for the current repository.

Purpose

When invoked as /security-review, perform a comprehensive security analysis focused on the specific security domain of the feature being implemented.

When to Use

For lightweight security checks on every issue, use /qa instead.

Behavior

Invocation:

• /security-review 123:
  • Treat 123 as the GitHub issue number.
  • Analyze the feature being implemented for that issue.
• /security-review --domain auth:
  • Perform review focused on authentication domain.
• /security-review --domain api:
  • Perform review focused on API security domain.
• /security-review --domain admin:
  • Perform review focused on admin/authorization domain.

Process

1. Identify Security Domain

Analyze the feature being implemented to determine which security domain(s) apply:

Auto-detection signals:

• Authentication: Issue mentions "login", "password", "session", "token", "auth", "logout"
• Authorization: Files in app/admin/, mentions "role", "permission", "access control"
• API Security: Files in app/api/, mentions "endpoint", "request", "validation"
• Data Protection: Mentions "PII", "sensitive", "encrypt", "GDPR", "privacy"
• Infrastructure: Mentions "env", "secret", "config", "headers", "CSP"
• File Operations: Mentions "upload", "download", "file", "path"

2. Gather Context

• Read the GitHub issue for feature details
• Identify files changed (worktree or PR diff)
• Determine which security checklists apply

3. Apply Domain-Specific Checklists

Run through the relevant security checklists, marking each item as:

• Passed (verified secure)
• Failed (security issue found)
• Needs Manual Review (cannot verify automatically)
• N/A (not applicable to this feature)

See references/security-checklists.md for detailed checklist by domain.

Security Checklists by Domain

Authentication (8 items)

Authorization (6 items)

API Security (7 items)

Data Protection (5 items)

Infrastructure (5 items)

Threat Modeling

For each security review, perform basic threat modeling:

1. Identify Threat Actors

2. Map Attack Surface

For the feature being reviewed, identify:

• Inputs: What data does the feature accept? (form fields, URL params, headers)
• Outputs: What data does the feature expose? (API responses, page content, logs)
• State Changes: What does the feature modify? (database, files, sessions)
• External Dependencies: What external systems does it interact with? (APIs, databases)

3. Document Attack Vectors

For each identified risk, document:

• Attack Vector: How could this be exploited?
• Impact: What's the worst case scenario?
• Likelihood: How likely is this attack?
• Mitigation: What controls are in place?

Report Format

Generate a security review report in this format:

Integration with Workflow

Standalone Usage (Manual)

/security-review 493
/security-review --domain auth

As Part of Workflow

When working on security-sensitive issues:

/spec 493    # Plan implementation
/exec 493    # Implement feature
/security-review 493  # Deep security analysis
/qa 493      # Final code review

Logging to workflow_runs

After completing review, log results:

• Phase: security
• Verdict: Maps to existing verdict types:
  • SECURE → pass
  • WARNINGS → pass_with_notes
  • ISSUES_FOUND → fail
• Output Summary: Findings count by severity

Post Review: GitHub Issue Update

After completing the security review, post results to the GitHub issue:

gh issue comment <issue-number> --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
