security-check SKILL.md skillA

security-check from benkapner/claude-code-basecamp is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add benkapner/claude-code-basecamp/security-check@v1.0

Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Scan projects for credential leaks, secrets in code, insecure patterns, LLM API key exposure, PII leakage to external AI services, and .env/.gitignore misconfigurations. Especially useful for data and API integrations, regardless of implementation language.

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

# Security Check Skill

Scan for credential leaks, insecure code patterns, and LLM security issues in Python data science projects.

## When to Activate

- Before committing changes
- After modifying `.env`, `.gitignore`, or config files
- When adding new API integrations or credentials
- When reviewing code that handles tokens, keys, or passwords
- When code sends data to external LLM APIs (Gemini, OpenAI, etc.)
- Periodic security hygiene checks

## Check Process

Read `skills/scan-process.md` for the full 6-step scan process with bash commands.

## Pattern Reference

Read `skills/pattern-tables.md` for API key regex patterns, insecure Python code patterns, and LLM-specific security patterns with severity classifications.

## Behavioral Rules

Read `guidelines.md` for severity classifications, remediation requirements, and escalation rules.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add benkapner/claude-code-basecamp/security-check@sha256:0351f1cbb74a5621

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
