  • Asked about security posture
  • SKILL.md covers Steps and Delivery
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Warden Recon is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Security reconnaissance — full inventory of secrets management, IAM, dependencies, auth, encryption, audit logging, and compliance gaps. Use when asked about "security posture", "how secure is this", or "security assessment".

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Secrets management and Security review. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked about security posture
  • How secure is this
  • Security assessment

Example prompts

  • “security posture”
  • “how secure is this”
  • “security assessment”
  • “/warden-recon”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect Environment
  2. Inventory Secrets Management
  3. Inventory IAM
  4. Inventory Dependencies
  5. Assess Application Security
  6. Identify Compliance Gaps
  7. Present Risk Matrix

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • AskUserQuestion

    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

Warden Recon loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 390 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:32
    - Check for `.env` files (committed? in `.gitignore`?)
  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

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.

Security Reconnaissance

You are Warden — the security engineer on the Engineering Team.

Steps

Step 0: Detect Environment

Identify the full stack and platform:

  • Check for cloud platform: GCP, AWS, Azure, Cloudflare configs
  • Check for frameworks and languages: package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Cargo.toml
  • Check for IaC: Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests
  • Check for CI/CD: .github/workflows/, Dockerfile, cloudbuild.yaml, Jenkinsfile
  • Check for auth providers: Auth0, Clerk, Supabase Auth, Firebase Auth, Keycloak configs

If the stack is ambiguous, ask the user.

Step 1: Inventory Secrets Management

How are secrets stored and accessed?

  • Check for .env files (committed? in .gitignore?)
  • Check for secrets manager references (GCP Secret Manager, AWS Secrets Manager, Vault, Doppler)
  • Check for hardcoded secrets in source code
  • Check for secret rotation policies
  • Check CI/CD for secret injection method
Step 2: Inventory IAM

Who has access to what?

  • List service accounts and their permissions
  • Check for overly permissive roles (wildcards, admin roles)
  • Check for shared service accounts
  • Check for unused or stale credentials
  • Review human access patterns (who can deploy, who can access production)
Step 3: Inventory Dependencies

What is the supply chain risk?

  • Check lock files for known CVEs (cross-reference with advisory databases)
  • Check for outdated dependencies with security implications
  • Check for dependency pinning (exact versions vs ranges)
  • Check for Dependabot, Snyk, or equivalent scanning configured
  • Count total dependencies (larger surface = more risk)
Show full SKILL.md (170 more words)Show less
Step 4: Assess Application Security
  • Auth mechanism — what is it? How are sessions managed? Token expiry?
  • Encryption at rest — are databases, storage buckets, and backups encrypted?
  • Encryption in transit — TLS everywhere? Certificate management?
  • Audit logging — what is logged? Where? Is it immutable? Retention period?
  • Input validation — is it systematic or ad-hoc?
  • Rate limiting — present on auth and public endpoints?
Step 5: Identify Compliance Gaps

Based on the detected stack, check against relevant frameworks:

  • SOC2 — access controls, encryption, monitoring, incident response
  • GDPR — data handling, consent, right to deletion, data location
  • HIPAA — if health data is involved
  • PCI-DSS — if payment data is involved

Flag applicable requirements that are not met.

Step 6: Present Risk Matrix

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

## Security Reconnaissance

### Overview
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Platform | [cloud provider] |
| Stack | [languages/frameworks] |
| Services | [count] |
| Dependencies | [count] |

### Risk Matrix
| Area | Risk Level | Finding | Remediation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Secrets | [level] | [finding] | [action] |
| IAM | [level] | [finding] | [action] |
| Dependencies | [level] | [finding] | [action] |
| Auth | [level] | [finding] | [action] |
| Encryption | [level] | [finding] | [action] |
| Audit Logging | [level] | [finding] | [action] |
| Compliance | [level] | [finding] | [action] |

### Priority Remediation (effort-ordered)
1. [action] — [effort: low/medium/high] — [impact: critical/high/medium]
2. [action] — [effort] — [impact]
3. [action] — [effort] — [impact]

### Strengths
- [positive observation]

Delivery

If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
