What it does
Security is an agent skill from austintgriffith/ethskills. Solidity security patterns, common vulnerabilities, and pre-deploy audit checklist. The specific code patterns that prevent real losses — not just warnings, but defensive implementations. Use before deploying any contract, when reviewing code, or when building anything that holds or moves value.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Security, covering Smart contract auditing and Audit readiness. It works with Solidity and Circle USDC. The repository describes itself as: The missing knowledge between AI agents and production Ethereum.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Smart contract auditing
- Tasks that involve Audit readiness
Example prompts
- “/security”
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Token Decimals Vary
- No Floating Point in Solidity
- Reentrancy
- SafeERC20
- Never Use DEX Spot Prices as Oracles
- Vault Inflation Attack
- Infinite Approvals
- Access Control
- Input Validation
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 06ea4ef. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
yarn
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
rpc.flashbots.net
Also links to:
docs.openzeppelin.comswcregistry.iorekt.newsspeedrunethereum.comethskills.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Security loads about 4.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,546 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,546 words (~4,949 tokens).
“"Solidity 0.8+ prevents overflows, so I'm safe." Overflow is one of dozens of attack vectors. The big ones today: reentrancy, oracle manipulation, approval exploits, and decimal mishandling.”

Questions about Security
What does Security do?
Solidity security patterns, common vulnerabilities, and pre-deploy audit checklist. Security is an agent skill from austintgriffith/ethskills. Solidity security patterns, common vulnerabilities, and pre-deploy audit checklist.
When should I use Security?
Security fits situations like: tasks that involve Smart contract auditing; tasks that involve Audit readiness.
How do I install Security in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add austintgriffith/ethskills --skill security -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (security in austintgriffith/ethskills) into .claude/skills/security in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Security in Codex?
Run `npx skills add austintgriffith/ethskills --skill security -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (security in austintgriffith/ethskills) into .agents/skills/security in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Security in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add austintgriffith/ethskills --skill security -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/security, .gemini/skills/security, .github/skills/security and .opencode/skills/security in your project.
What does Security need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Security needs the command-line tools its instructions call (yarn).
Does Security access the network?
SKILL.md names 6 domains. In commands or code: rpc.flashbots.net; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: docs.openzeppelin.com, swcregistry.io, rekt.news, speedrunethereum.com and ethskills.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Security safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Security use?
No licence was found for Security or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Security use?
About 4.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 20k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Security?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Security: X Ray (pashov/skills, 1.2k stars), Ethereum Smart Contract Vulnerability Analysis (tradecatlabs/vibe-coding-cn, 17k stars), Reentrancy Auditor (alt-research2/SolidityGuard, 104 stars) and Smart Contract Audit (forefy/.context, 152 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Security?
austintgriffith (a GitHub user) maintains it in austintgriffith/ethskills, which has 294 GitHub stars. The repository holds 22 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on August 20, 2026.
