Security review checklist for Convex functions, auth logic, public queries, admin routes, webhooks, uploads, and AI-generated code.

  • Reviewing code that touches user data
  • SKILL.md covers When to use it, Auth and ownership checks, Data exposure rules and Sensitive integrations, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Webhooks

What it does

Sec Check is an agent skill from waynesutton/markdown-site. Security review checklist for Convex functions, auth logic, public queries, admin routes, webhooks, uploads, and AI-generated code. Use when reviewing code that touches user data, PII, or access control.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 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 Backend & APIs, covering Webhooks, Security review and Authorization and RBAC. The repository describes itself as: An open-source publishing framework built for AI agents and developers to ship websites, docs, or blogs. Write markdown, sync from the terminal. Your content is instantly… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing code that touches user data
  • Tasks that involve Webhooks
  • Tasks that involve Security review

Example prompts

  • “/sec-check”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3872c59. 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

Sec Check loads about 753 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 405 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~753

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.

Security review checklist for Convex functions, auth logic, public queries, admin routes, webhooks, uploads, and AI-generated code. Use when reviewing code that touches user data, PII, or access control.

Security Review Skill

Use this skill when reviewing Convex functions, auth logic, public query shapes, admin routes, webhooks, uploads, or any AI generated code that touches user data.

When to use it

Reach for this skill when:

  • a mutation writes user or admin data
  • a public query returns package or user data
  • an internal function should be separated from a public wrapper
  • a form collects names, emails, or other contact info
  • a webhook, upload, or API key flow is added
  • AI generated code needs a security pass before shipping

Auth and ownership checks

  • Call ctx.auth.getUserIdentity() before authenticated writes.
  • Never trust client supplied user ids for ownership.
  • Prefer indexed ownership checks over fetch then compare patterns.
  • Use internalQuery, internalMutation, and internalAction for sensitive backend work.
  • Keep public wrappers thin. Do auth and access checks there, then call internal functions.
  • Return generic Not found style errors when you should not reveal existence.

Data exposure rules

  • Public queries should return public safe shapes only.
  • Strip PII like email, name, Discord handle, internal notes, AI review details, or admin metadata unless the caller is allowed to see them.
  • Add explicit return validators on public functions so the response shape stays tight.
  • Mutations should return minimal data, usually ids or null, not the submitted object.
  • Treat everything returned by a query as visible in browser DevTools and WebSocket traffic.

Sensitive integrations

  • Keep secrets in server side environment variables only.
  • Validate webhook signatures before processing.
  • Restrict CORS for sensitive endpoints.
  • Validate upload types and file sizes server side.
  • Do not send user PII into AI prompts when it is not required for the task.
  • Use simple actor labels like AI or System, not fake email addresses, for automated actions.

AI generated code checks

  • Watch for missing returns validators.
  • Watch for public query or mutation usage where internal* should be used.
  • Watch for ctx.db.get() plus client supplied ids in ownership checks.
  • Watch for full objects returned from public queries or mutations.
  • Watch for vague or over detailed error messages that leak internal state.

Verification checklist

  • Open the browser network panel and inspect WebSocket or XHR responses for sensitive fields.
  • Hard refresh after deploying security changes so cached subscriptions do not fool the test.
  • Verify public queries exclude PII and internal metadata.
  • Verify admin queries require auth and admin checks before returning full data.
  • Verify mutations return minimal data.
  • Verify any new action or integration logs full errors only on the server side.
