security-diff-scan skillA

security-diff-scan is agent-read markdown (skill) from cowork-os/cowork-os: Use when the user asks for a security review of a pull request, commit, branch diff, working-tree patch, or other Git-backed change set..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Security Diff Scan

Used when a user wants to review a Git-backed change set for security regressions. Keep the scan phases separate and produce final HTML and markdown reports.

## Phase Sequence

Keep these phases distinct and run them in linear order:

1. `$threat-model`
2. `$finding-discovery`
3. `$validation`
4. `$attack-path-analysis`
5. Generate final output

Treat this skill as the top-level orchestrator for the four skills plus the final report assembly step. Do not collapse the phases together.

For each phase:

1. Read that phase's skill.
2. Load only the inputs required for that phase.
3. Complete that phase's workflow and checklist.
4. Only then read the next phase's skill.

Do not read ahead into later-phase skills until the current phase has completed.
Do not amortize effort across phases: complete each phase to the full depth expected by that phase before moving on.
