secure-code-review from gsa-tts/agentic-coding-patterns is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add gsa-tts/agentic-coding-patterns/secure-code-review@v1.1.0

Pins v1.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Security-focused code review pattern covering OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and common security issues.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Skill: Secure Code Review

Perform security-focused code review to identify common vulnerabilities and security issues before they reach production.

> **Diff is a modality, not a mode.** You can review either a whole file or a
> single PR diff hunk. Every check below applies to both. When you review a
> diff, focus on what the change *introduces* or *removes* — you do not need to
> re-audit unchanged lines, but you should flag when a change weakens an
> existing control.

## Boundaries

This skill is the general **code-review hygiene** lane. Three neighbors own
adjacent lanes — flag and defer, do not re-implement them:

| If you see... | Defer to |
|---------------|----------|
| An agent-invoking or injection-reachable CI trigger (`pull_request_target`, `issue_comment`, `workflow_run` with untrusted checkout, a prompt built from PR/issue text) | **agentic-actions-auditor** |
| A judgment about whether a granted scope is *minimal* (GITHUB_TOKEN permissions, IAM scope) | **least-privilege-review** |
| Supply-chain or dependency intake (new packages, CVEs, licenses) | **dependency-analysis** |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gsa-tts/agentic-coding-patterns/secure-code-review@sha256:38d8618cd639deb2

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
