    security-checklists

    Progressive-disclosure security-depth modules for the security-reviewer. Holds ten boundary-keyed checklists (access-control, authn-session, injection, path-and-file, secrets-and-crypto, outbound-ssrf, supply-chain, config-misconfig, exceptional-conditions, llm-agent) as references/, each anchored on a current standard (OWASP Top 10:2025, ASVS 5.0, API Security Top 10:2023, Proactive Controls 2024, CWE Top 25, OWASP LLM Top 10:2025). The work-loop's orchestrator loads only the boundary-matching modules and inlines them into the security-reviewer's brief; the subagent never self-discovers this skill. Not a reviewer prompt itself — it is the depth library the reviewer reasons from.

    work-loop

    Use this skill whenever you're implementing a non-trivial change — a feature, a multi-file bug fix, a refactor, a migration, a framework or dependency upgrade, a schema or API change, performance work, an infrastructure or build-system edit, or anything spec-driven. It enforces the project's plan → execute → self-review → fix loop with mechanical gates (lint, typecheck, tests) and adversarial review. Default to this skill for any task larger than a one-line edit.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 19 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 4

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

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

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Never fix symptoms. If a null check "fixes" a crash, find why it's null.

    line 16
  2. Distinctive:

    Read the error message. The answer is usually in the stack trace.

    line 17
  3. Distinctive:

    Check git blame — when was this code last changed and by whom?

    line 18
  4. Distinctive:

    Add a test that would have caught this bug.

    line 20

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 19 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.

Bug Fix

Process

  1. Reproduce — confirm the bug exists, get exact error/behavior
  2. Isolate — narrow to the smallest code path that triggers it
  3. Root cause — find the actual cause, not just the symptom
  4. Fix — change the minimum code needed
  5. Verify — confirm the fix works AND doesn't break anything else

Rules

  • Never fix symptoms. If a null check "fixes" a crash, find why it's null.
  • Read the error message. The answer is usually in the stack trace.
  • Check git blame — when was this code last changed and by whom?
  • One fix per bug. Don't refactor while fixing.
  • Add a test that would have caught this bug.

Output

  • Root cause: one sentence explaining why the bug exists
  • Fix: the minimal code change
  • Test: how to verify the fix
  • Prevention: what would catch this class of bug in the future

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.
