What it does

Security Audit is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Deep security audit covering OWASP Top 10, authentication, authorization, data protection, dependency vulnerabilities, and secrets scanning. Delegates to the Centinela (QA) agent.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 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 Security review, Vulnerability scanning and Web application vulnerabilities. The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Security review
  • Tasks that involve Vulnerability scanning
  • Tasks that involve Web application vulnerabilities

Example prompts

  • “/security-audit”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Runs the SIGN IN checklist
  2. Performs OWASP Top 10 systematic check (A01-A10)
  3. Scans for hardcoded secrets, API keys, tokens, and connection strings
  4. Audits dependencies for known CVEs
  5. Checks smart contracts if Solidity is present (reentrancy, overflow, access control)
  6. Runs Security Verification and Quality Verification checklists (TIME OUT)
  7. Issues verdict and writes report to docs/reviews/security-audit-{date}.md
  8. Prepares findings handoff to Dev agent

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10bfc43. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Audit loads about 442 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 194 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~442

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.

Performs a deep security audit using the Centinela (QA) agent.

When to Use This Skill

  • Before a release to verify security posture
  • After significant code changes that touch authentication, authorization, or data handling
  • Periodic security review of the codebase
  • When adding new dependencies or external integrations

What This Skill Does

  1. Runs the SIGN IN checklist
  2. Performs OWASP Top 10 systematic check (A01-A10)
  3. Scans for hardcoded secrets, API keys, tokens, and connection strings
  4. Audits dependencies for known CVEs
  5. Checks smart contracts if Solidity is present (reentrancy, overflow, access control)
  6. Runs Security Verification and Quality Verification checklists (TIME OUT)
  7. Issues verdict and writes report to docs/reviews/security-audit-{date}.md
  8. Prepares findings handoff to Dev agent

How to Use

Basic Usage
/security-audit
Scoped Audit
/security-audit src/auth/ src/api/

Example

User: /security-audit src/payments/

Output: A security audit report at docs/reviews/security-audit-2026-02-23.md with:

  • OWASP Top 10 findings organized by severity
  • Secrets scan results
  • Dependency vulnerability report
  • Verdict: APPROVED or CHANGES REQUIRED
  • Fix order recommendation for the Dev agent

Tips

  • If no scope is specified, the entire src/ directory is audited
  • Critical findings trigger the Non-Normal emergency checklist
  • The agent will never attempt to fix vulnerabilities — only document them
