## What it does

This skill inspects software and operational processes against OWASP Secure by Design and OWASP Top 10:2025. It starts by defining scope inside `.claude/canvas/threat-model.yml`. You document whether the product runs code, manages accounts, collects personal records, moves funds, or exposes agent tools.

Checks run conditionally. If code execution is active, the skill reviews access controls, input injection, supply chain dependencies, and error handling. For AI features, it activates checks for LLMs and agent plugins. Sections outside your scope get marked as not applicable with an explicit explanation.

The skill is built for the Mycelium framework. Running it standalone bypasses canvas state tracking, harness behavior, and theory gates.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill security-review -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/security-review/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/security-review/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill security-review -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/security-review/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill security-review -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/security-review/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install haabe/mycelium security-review
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/security-review/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill security-review -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/haabe/mycelium --path plugins/mycelium/skills/security-review
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/security-review/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill security-review -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/haabe/mycelium/tree/HEAD/plugins/mycelium/skills/security-review/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Scope system threats in `.claude/canvas/threat-model.yml`
- Audit application code against OWASP Top 10:2025 rules
- Inspect supply chain dependencies and lockfile integrity
- Review human workflows handling sensitive client documents

## Example prompts
- Run security-review against the payment processing module
- Scope the threat model for our backend service
- Audit input handling and access control rules against OWASP Top 10:2025

# Security Review

Language-agnostic security review based on OWASP Secure by Design.

## Step 0: Scope the review to what the product holds and does (v0.271.0)

**Record the scope first, then apply only the sections it calls for.** Every product has threats,
but not every product has a login, code, or personal data. Founder, 2026-09-26: "2fa and so on
might not be applicable for all products." A bookkeeping service delivered by hand was reviewed
against this web checklist (CORS, SQL parameters, security headers, multi-factor login), most of
which has nothing to act on there. Write in `.claude/canvas/threat-model.yml`, under its own key
(`scope` stays the threat model's own sentence on what is being modelled; 0.271.0 reused that name and
broke every threat model that had one):

```yaml
security_scope:
  runs_code: true | false          # software the product runs (a web app, an API, a script)
  accounts: true | false           # people log in to something the product provides
  personal_data: "none" | what     # e.g. "client bank exports and receipts", "email addresses"
  money: true | false              # the product takes or moves payments
  reach: who can get at it         # e.g. "three named clients", "anyone with the link"
```

Then apply, and name each section as applied or `n/a: <reason>` in the decision-log entry:

| Section | Applies when |
|---|---|
| OWASP web categories below (A01-A10b) | `runs_code` |
| Authentication items (A07: sessions, passwords, multi-factor) | `accounts` |
| Data protection items (A02, and Documents and data handled by people) | `personal_data` is not "none" |
| Payment integrity (who can change amounts, refunds, receipts) | `money` |
| OWASP LLM Top 10 | the product runs a model (`ai_tool`) |
| OWASP Agentic Skills Top 10 | the product ships agent skills, plugins, hooks or MCP servers |

Controls follow the data and the reach: multi-factor login where accounts guard sensitive data,
encryption where personal data is stored or sent electronically, not as defaults for every
product. A section that does not apply is recorded as `n/a` with its reason, never silently
skipped, so a later reader sees it was considered. **The threat model is never `n/a`**: a service
with nothing digital still has threats (a mis-sent document, a lost folder, a wrong person
asking for a client's figures).

### Documents and data handled by people (services, courses, publications)
- [ ] Where client or learner data is kept, and who can open it
- [ ] How documents move between people (the channel, and what never goes by it)
