name: agents-md description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "create AGENTS.md", "update AGENTS.md", "maintain agent docs", "set up CLAUDE.md", or needs to keep agent instructions concise. Guides discovery of local skills and enforces minimal documentation style.

Maintaining AGENTS.md

AGENTS.md is the canonical agent-facing documentation. Keep it minimal—agents are capable and don't need hand-holding.

File Setup

  1. Create AGENTS.md at project root
  2. Create symlink: ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md

Before Writing

Discover local skills to reference:

find .claude/skills -name "SKILL.md" 2>/dev/null
ls plugins/*/skills/*/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null

Read each skill's frontmatter to understand when to reference it.

Writing Rules

Required Sections

Package Manager

Which tool and key commands only:

## Package Manager
Use **pnpm**: `pnpm install`, `pnpm dev`, `pnpm test`

Commit Attribution

Always include this section. Agents should use their own identity:

## Commit Attribution
AI commits MUST include:

Co-Authored-By: (the agent model's name and attribution byline)

Example: `Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4 <noreply@example.com>`

Key Conventions

Project-specific patterns agents must follow. Keep brief.

Local Skills

Reference each discovered skill:

## Database
Use `db-migrate` skill for schema changes. See `.claude/skills/db-migrate/SKILL.md`

## Testing
Use `write-tests` skill. See `.claude/skills/write-tests/SKILL.md`

Optional Sections

Add only if truly needed:

name: brand-guidelines description: Write copy following Sentry brand guidelines. Use when writing UI text, error messages, empty states, onboarding flows, 404 pages, documentation, marketing copy, or any user-facing content. Covers both Plain Speech (default) and Sentry Voice tones.

Brand Guidelines

Write user-facing copy following Sentry's brand guidelines.

Tone Selection

Choose the appropriate tone based on context:

Use Plain Speech Use Sentry Voice
Product UI (buttons, labels, forms) 404 pages
Documentation Empty states
Error messages Onboarding flows
Settings pages Loading states
Transactional emails "What's New" announcements
Help text Marketing copy

Default to Plain Speech unless the context specifically calls for personality.

Plain Speech (Default)

Plain Speech is clear, direct, and functional. Use it for most UI elements.

Rules

  1. Be concise - Use the fewest words needed
  2. Be direct - Tell users what to do, not what they can do
  3. Use active voice - "Save your changes" not "Your changes will be saved"
  4. Avoid jargon - Use simple words users understand
  5. Be specific - "3 errors found" not "Some errors found"

Examples

Instead of Write
"Click here to save your changes" "Save"
"You can filter results by date" "Filter by date"
"An error has occurred" "Something went wrong"
"Please enter a valid email address" "Enter a valid email"
"Are you sure you want to delete?" "Delete this item?"

Sentry Voice

Sentry Voice adds personality in appropriate moments. It's empathetic, self-aware, and occasionally snarky.

Principles

  1. Empathetic snark - Direct frustration at the situation, never the user
  2. Self-aware - Acknowledge the absurdity of software
  3. Fun but functional - Personality should enhance, not obscure meaning
  4. Earned moments - Only use when users have time to appreciate it

Examples

404 Pages:

"This page doesn't exist. Maybe it never did. Maybe it was a dream. Either way, let's get you back on track."

Empty States:

"No errors yet. Enjoy this moment of peace while it lasts."

Onboarding:

"Let's get your first error. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds."

Loading States:

"Crunching the numbers..." "Fetching your data..."

When NOT to Use Sentry Voice

General Rules

Spelling and Grammar

Punctuation

Word Choices

Avoid Prefer
Please (omit)
Sorry (be specific about the problem)
Error occurred Something went wrong
Invalid (explain what's wrong)
Success! (describe what happened)
Oops (be specific)

Dash Usage

Type Use Example
Hyphen (-) Compound words, ranges "real-time", "1-10"
En-dash (--) Ranges, relationships "2023--2024", "parent--child"
Em-dash (---) Interruption, emphasis "Errors---even small ones---matter"

In most UI contexts, use hyphens. Reserve en-dashes for date ranges and em-dashes for longer prose.

UI Element Guidelines

Buttons

Error Messages

  1. Say what happened
  2. Say why (if helpful)
  3. Say what to do next

Good: "Could not save changes. Check your connection and try again." Bad: "Error: Save failed."

Empty States

  1. Explain what would normally be here
  2. Provide a clear action to populate the state
  3. Sentry Voice is appropriate here

Good: "No projects yet. Create your first project to start tracking errors."

name: code-simplifier description: Simplifies and refines code for clarity, consistency, and maintainability while preserving all functionality. Use when asked to "simplify code", "clean up code", "refactor for clarity", "improve readability", or review recently modified code for elegance. Focuses on project-specific best practices.

Code Simplifier

You are an expert code simplification specialist focused on enhancing code clarity, consistency, and maintainability while preserving exact functionality. Your expertise lies in applying project-specific best practices to simplify and improve code without altering its behavior. You prioritize readable, explicit code over overly compact solutions.

Refinement Principles

1. Preserve Functionality

Never change what the code does - only how it does it. All original features, outputs, and behaviors must remain intact.

2. Apply Project Standards

Follow the established coding standards from CLAUDE.md including:

3. Enhance Clarity

Simplify code structure by:

4. Maintain Balance

Avoid over-simplification that could:

5. Focus Scope

Only refine code that has been recently modified or touched in the current session, unless explicitly instructed to review a broader scope.

Refinement Process

  1. Identify the recently modified code sections
  2. Analyze for opportunities to improve elegance and consistency
  3. Apply project-specific best practices and coding standards
  4. Ensure all functionality remains unchanged
  5. Verify the refined code is simpler and more maintainable
  6. Document only significant changes that affect understanding

Examples

Before: Nested Ternaries

const status = isLoading ? 'loading' : hasError ? 'error' : isComplete ? 'complete' : 'idle';

After: Clear Switch Statement

function getStatus(isLoading: boolean, hasError: boolean, isComplete: boolean): string {
  if (isLoading) return 'loading';
  if (hasError) return 'error';
  if (isComplete) return 'complete';
  return 'idle';
}

Before: Overly Compact

const result = arr.filter(x => x > 0).map(x => x * 2).reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);

After: Clear Steps

const positiveNumbers = arr.filter(x => x > 0);
const doubled = positiveNumbers.map(x => x * 2);
const sum = doubled.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);

Before: Redundant Abstraction

function isNotEmpty(arr: unknown[]): boolean {
  return arr.length > 0;
}

if (isNotEmpty(items)) {
  // ...
}

After: Direct Check

if (items.length > 0) {
  // ...
}

Sentry Commit Messages

Follow these conventions when creating commits for Sentry projects.

Prerequisites

Before committing, ensure you're working on a feature branch, not the main branch.

# Check current branch
git branch --show-current

If you're on main or master, create a new branch first:

# Create and switch to a new branch
git checkout -b <type>/<short-description>

Branch naming should follow the pattern: <type>/<short-description> where type matches the commit type (e.g., feat/add-user-auth, fix/null-pointer-error, ref/extract-validation).

Format

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>

The header is required. Scope is optional. All lines must stay under 100 characters.

Commit Types

Type Purpose
feat New feature
fix Bug fix
ref Refactoring (no behavior change)
perf Performance improvement
docs Documentation only
test Test additions or corrections
build Build system or dependencies
ci CI configuration
chore Maintenance tasks
style Code formatting (no logic change)
meta Repository metadata
license License changes

Subject Line Rules

Body Guidelines

Footer: Issue References

Reference issues in the footer using these patterns:

Fixes GH-1234
Fixes #1234
Fixes SENTRY-1234
Refs LINEAR-ABC-123

AI-Generated Changes

When changes were primarily generated by a coding agent (like Claude Code), include the Co-Authored-By attribution in the commit footer:

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

This is the only indicator of AI involvement that should appear in commits. Do not add phrases like "Generated by AI", "Written with Claude", or similar markers in the subject, body, or anywhere else in the commit message.

Examples

Simple fix

fix(api): Handle null response in user endpoint

The user API could return null for deleted accounts, causing a crash
in the dashboard. Add null check before accessing user properties.

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Feature with scope

feat(alerts): Add Slack thread replies for alert updates

When an alert is updated or resolved, post a reply to the original
Slack thread instead of creating a new message. This keeps related
notifications grouped together.

Refactor

ref: Extract common validation logic to shared module

Move duplicate validation code from three endpoints into a shared
validator class. No behavior change.

Breaking change

feat(api)!: Remove deprecated v1 endpoints

Create Pull Request

Create pull requests following Sentry's engineering practices.

Requires: GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated and available.

Prerequisites

Before creating a PR, ensure all changes are committed. If there are uncommitted changes, run the sentry-skills:commit skill first to commit them properly.

# Check for uncommitted changes
git status --porcelain

If the output shows any uncommitted changes (modified, added, or untracked files that should be included), invoke the sentry-skills:commit skill before proceeding.

Process

Step 1: Verify Branch State

# Detect the default branch
BASE=$(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name')

# Check current branch and status
git status
git log $BASE..HEAD --oneline

Ensure:

Step 2: Analyze Changes

Review what will be included in the PR:

# See all commits that will be in the PR
git log $BASE..HEAD

# See the full diff
git diff $BASE...HEAD

Understand the scope and purpose of all changes before writing the description.

Step 3: Write the PR Description

Use this structure for PR descriptions (ignoring any repository PR templates):

<brief description of what the PR does>

<why these changes are being made - the motivation>

<alternative approaches considered, if any>

<any additional context reviewers need>

PR Description Examples

Feature PR

Add Slack thread replies for alert notifications

When an alert is updated or resolved, we now post a reply to the original
Slack thread instead of creating a new message. This keeps related
notifications grouped and reduces channel noise.

Previously considered posting edits to the original message, but threading
better preserves the timeline of events and works when the original message
is older than Slack's edit window.

Bug Fix PR

Handle null response in user API endpoint

The user endpoint could return null for soft-deleted accounts, causing
dashboard crashes when accessing user properties. This adds a null check
and returns a proper 404 response.

Found while investigating SENTRY-5678.

Fixes SENTRY-5678

Refactor PR

Extract validation logic to shared module

Moves duplicate validation code from the alerts, issues, and projects
endpoints into a shared validator class. No behavior change.

This prepares for adding new validation rules in SENTRY-9999 without
duplicating logic across endpoints.

Guidelines

Editing Existing PRs

If you need to update a PR after creation, use gh api instead of gh pr edit:

# Update PR description
gh api -X PATCH repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/PR_NUMBER -f body="$(cat <<'EOF'
Updated description here
EOF
)"

# Update PR title
gh api -X PATCH repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/PR_NUMBER -f title='new: Title here'

# Update both
gh api -X PATCH repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/PR_NUMBER \
  -f title='new: Title' \
  -f body='New description'

Note: gh pr edit is currently broken due to GitHub's Projects (classic) deprecation.

name: django-access-review description: 'Django access control and IDOR security review. Use when reviewing Django views, DRF viewsets, ORM queries, or any Python/Django code handling user authorization. Trigger keywords: "IDOR", "access control", "authorization", "Django permissions", "object permissions", "tenant isolation", "broken access".' allowed-tools: Read Grep Glob Bash Task license: LICENSE

Django Access Control & IDOR Review

Find access control vulnerabilities by investigating how the codebase answers one question:

Can User A access, modify, or delete User B's data?

Philosophy: Investigation Over Pattern Matching

Do NOT scan for predefined vulnerable patterns. Instead:

  1. Understand how authorization works in THIS codebase
  2. Ask questions about specific data flows
  3. Trace code to find where (or if) access checks happen
  4. Report only what you've confirmed through investigation

Every codebase implements authorization differently. Your job is to understand this specific implementation, then find gaps.


Phase 1: Understand the Authorization Model

Before looking for bugs, answer these questions about the codebase:

How is authorization enforced?

Research the codebase to find:

□ Where are permission checks implemented?
  - Decorators? (@login_required, @permission_required, custom?)
  - Middleware? (TenantMiddleware, AuthorizationMiddleware?)
  - Base classes? (BaseAPIView, TenantScopedViewSet?)
  - Permission classes? (DRF permission_classes?)
  - Custom mixins? (OwnershipMixin, TenantMixin?)

□ How are queries scoped?
  - Custom managers? (TenantManager, UserScopedManager?)
  - get_queryset() overrides?
  - Middleware that sets query context?

□ What's the ownership model?
  - Single user ownership? (document.owner_id)
  - Organization/tenant ownership? (document.organization_id)
  - Hierarchical? (org -> team -> user -> resource)
  - Role-based within context? (org admin vs member)

Investigation commands

# Find how auth is typically done
grep -rn "permission_classes\|@login_required\|@permission_required" --include="*.py" | head -20

# Find base classes that views inherit from
grep -rn "class Base.*View\|class.*Mixin.*:" --include="*.py" | head -20

# Find custom managers
grep -rn "class.*Manager\|def get_queryset" --include="*.py" | head -20

# Find ownership fields on models
grep -rn "owner\|user_id\|organization\|tenant" --include="models.py" | head -30

Do not proceed until you understand the authorization model.


Phase 2: Map the Attack Surface

Identify endpoints that handle user-specific data:

What resources exist?

□ What models contain user data?
□ Which have ownership fields (owner_id, user_id, organization_id)?
□ Which are accessed via ID in URLs or request bodies?

What operations are exposed?

For each resource, map:


Phase 3: Ask Questions and Investigate

For each endpoint that handles user data, ask:

The Core Question

"If I'm User A and I know the ID of User B's resource, can I access it?"

Trace the code to answer this:

1. Where does the resource ID enter the system?
   - URL path: /api/documents/{id}/
   - Query param: ?document_id=123
   - Request body: {"document_id": 123}

2. Where is that ID used to fetch data?
   - Find the ORM query or database call

3. Between (1) and (2), what checks exist?
   - Is the query scoped to current user?
   - Is there an explicit ownership check?
   - Is there a permission check on the object?
   - Does a base class or mixin enforce access?

4. If you can't find a check, is there one you missed?
   - Check parent classes
   - Check middleware
   - Check managers
   - Check decorators at URL level

Follow-Up Questions

□ For list endpoints: Does the query filter to user's data, or return everything?

□ For create endpoints: Who sets the owner - the server or the request?

□ For bulk operations: Are they scoped to user's data?

□ For related resources: If I can access a document, can I access its comments?
  What if the document belongs to someone else?

□ For tenant/org resources: Can User in Org A access Org B's data by changing
  the org_id in the URL?

Phase 4: Trace Specific Flows

Pick a concrete endpoint and trace it completely.

Example Investigation

Endpoint: GET /api/documents/{pk}/

1. Find the view handling this URL
   → DocumentViewSet.retrieve() in api/views.py

2. Check what DocumentViewSet inherits from
   → class DocumentViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet)
   → No custom base class with authorization

3. Check permission_classes
   → permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]
   → Only checks login, not ownership

4. Check get_queryset()
   → def get_queryset(self):
   →     return Document.objects.all()
   → Returns ALL documents!

5. Check for has_object_permission()
   → Not implemented

6. Check retrieve() method
   → Uses default, which calls get_object()
   → get_object() uses get_queryset(), which returns all

7. Conclusion: IDOR - Any authenticated user can access any document

What to look for when tracing

Potential gap indicators (investigate further, don't auto-flag):
- get_queryset() returns .all() or filters without user
- Direct Model.objects.get(pk=pk) without ownership in query
- ID comes from request body for sensitive operations
- Permission class checks auth but not ownership
- No has_object_permission() and queryset isn't scoped

Likely safe patterns (but verify the implementation):
- get_queryset() filters by request.user or user's org
- Custom permission class with has_object_permission()
- Base class that enforces scoping
- Manager that auto-filters

Phase 5: Report Findings

Only report issues you've confirmed through investigation.

Confidence Levels

Level Meaning Action
HIGH Traced the flow, confirmed no check exists Report with evidence
MEDIUM Check may exist but couldn't confirm Note for manual verification
LOW Theoretical, likely mitigated Do not report

Suggested Fixes Must Enforce, Not Document

Bad fix: Adding a comment saying "caller must validate permissions" Good fix: Adding code that actually validates permissions

A comment or docstring does not enforce authorization. Your suggested fix must include actual code that:

Example of a BAD fix suggestion:

def get_resource(resource_id):
    # IMPORTANT: Caller must ensure user has access to this resource
    return Resource.objects.get(pk=resource_id)

Example of a GOOD fix suggestion:

def get_resource(resource_id, user):
    resource = Resource.objects.get(pk=resource_id)
    if resource.owner_id != user.id:
        raise PermissionDenied("Access denied")
    return resource

If you can't determine the right enforcement mechanism, say so - but never suggest documentation as the fix.

Report Format

## Access Control Review: [Component]

### Authorization Model
[Brief description of how this codebase handles authorization]

### Findings

#### [IDOR-001] [Title] (Severity: High/Medium)
- **Location**: `path/to/file.py:123`
- **Confidence**: High - confirmed through code tracing
- **The Question**: Can User A access User B's documents?
- **Investigation**:
  1. Traced GET /api/documents/{pk}/ to DocumentViewSet
  2. Checked get_queryset() - returns Document.objects.all()
  3. Checked permission_classes - only IsAuthenticated
  4. Checked for has_object_permission() - not implemented
  5. Verified no relevant middleware or base class checks
- **Evidence**: [Code snippet showing the gap]
- **Impact**: Any authenticated user can read any document by ID
- **Suggested Fix**: [Code that enforces authorization - NOT a comment]

### Needs Manual Verification
[Issues where authorization exists but couldn't confirm effectiveness]

### Areas Not Reviewed
[Endpoints or flows not covered in this review]

Common Django Authorization Patterns

These are patterns you might find - not a checklist to match against.

Query Scoping

# Scoped to user
Document.objects.filter(owner=request.user)

# Scoped to organization
Document.objects.filter(organization=request.user.organization)

# Using a custom manager
Document.objects.for_user(request.user)  # Investigate what this does

Permission Enforcement

# DRF permission classes
permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated, IsOwner]

# Custom has_object_permission
def has_object_permission(self, request, view, obj):
    return obj.owner == request.user

# Django decorators
@permission_required('app.view_document')

# Manual checks
if document.owner != request.user:
    raise PermissionDenied()

Ownership Assignment

# Server-side (safe)
def perform_create(self, serializer):
    serializer.save(owner=self.request.user)

# From request (investigate)
serializer.save(**request.data)  # Does request.data include owner?

Investigation Checklist

Use this to guide your review, not as a pass/fail checklist:

□ I understand how authorization is typically implemented in this codebase
□ I've identified the ownership model (user, org, tenant, etc.)
□ I've mapped the key endpoints that handle user data
□ For each sensitive endpoint, I've traced the flow and asked:
  - Where does the ID come from?
  - Where is data fetched?
  - What checks exist between input and data access?
□ I've verified my findings by checking parent classes and middleware
□ I've only reported issues I've confirmed through investigation

name: django-perf-review description: Django performance code review. Use when asked to "review Django performance", "find N+1 queries", "optimize Django", "check queryset performance", "database performance", "Django ORM issues", or audit Django code for performance problems. allowed-tools: Read Grep Glob Bash Task license: LICENSE

Django Performance Review

Review Django code for validated performance issues. Research the codebase to confirm issues before reporting. Report only what you can prove.

Review Approach

  1. Research first - Trace data flow, check for existing optimizations, verify data volume
  2. Validate before reporting - Pattern matching is not validation
  3. Zero findings is acceptable - Don't manufacture issues to appear thorough
  4. Severity must match impact - If you catch yourself writing "minor" in a CRITICAL finding, it's not critical. Downgrade or skip it.

Impact Categories

Issues are organized by impact. Focus on CRITICAL and HIGH - these cause real problems at scale.

Priority Category Impact
1 N+1 Queries CRITICAL - Multiplies with data, causes timeouts
2 Unbounded Querysets CRITICAL - Memory exhaustion, OOM kills
3 Missing Indexes HIGH - Full table scans on large tables
4 Write Loops HIGH - Lock contention, slow requests
5 Inefficient Patterns LOW - Rarely worth reporting

Priority 1: N+1 Queries (CRITICAL)

Impact: Each N+1 adds O(n) database round trips. 100 rows = 100 extra queries. 10,000 rows = timeout.

Rule: Prefetch related data accessed in loops

Validate by tracing: View → Queryset → Template/Serializer → Loop access

# PROBLEM: N+1 - each iteration queries profile
def user_list(request):
    users = User.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'users.html', {'users': users})

# Template:
# {% for user in users %}
#     {{ user.profile.bio }}  ← triggers query per user
# {% endfor %}

# SOLUTION: Prefetch in view
def user_list(request):
    users = User.objects.select_related('profile')
    return render(request, 'users.html', {'users': users})

Rule: Prefetch in serializers, not just views

DRF serializers accessing related fields cause N+1 if queryset isn't optimized.

# PROBLEM: SerializerMethodField queries per object
class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    order_count = serializers.SerializerMethodField()

    def get_order_count(self, obj):
        return obj.orders.count()  # ← query per user

# SOLUTION: Annotate in viewset, access in serializer
class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    def get_queryset(self):
        return User.objects.annotate(order_count=Count('orders'))

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    order_count = serializers.IntegerField(read_only=True)

Rule: Model properties that query are dangerous in loops

# PROBLEM: Property triggers query when accessed
class User(models.Model):
    @property
    def recent_orders(self):
        return self.orders.filter(created__gte=last_week)[:5]

# Used in template loop = N+1

# SOLUTION: Use Prefetch with custom queryset, or annotate

Validation Checklist for N+1


Priority 2: Unbounded Querysets (CRITICAL)

Impact: Loading entire tables exhausts memory. Large tables cause OOM kills and worker restarts.

Rule: Always paginate list endpoints

# PROBLEM: No pagination - loads all rows
class UserListView(ListView):
    model = User
    template_name = 'users.html'

# SOLUTION: Add pagination
class UserListView(ListView):
    model = User
    template_name = 'users.html'
    paginate_by = 25

Rule: Use iterator() for large batch processing

# PROBLEM: Loads all objects into memory at once
for user in User.objects.all():
    process(user)

# SOLUTION: Stream with iterator()
for user in User.objects.iterator(chunk_size=1000):
    process(user)

Rule: Never call list() on unbounded querysets

# PROBLEM: Forces full evaluation into memory
all_users = list(User.objects.all())

# SOLUTION: Keep as queryset, slice if needed
users = User.objects.all()[:100]

Validation Checklist for Unbounded Querysets


Priority 3: Missing Indexes (HIGH)

Impact: Full table scans. Negligible on small tables, catastrophic on large ones.

Rule: Index fields used in WHERE clauses on large tables

# PROBLEM: Filtering on unindexed field
# User.objects.filter(email=email)  # full scan if no index

class User(models.Model):
    email = models.EmailField()  # ← no db_index

# SOLUTION: Add index
class User(models.Model):
    email = models.EmailField(db_index=True)

Rule: Index fields used in ORDER BY on large tables

# PROBLEM: Sorting requires full scan without index
Order.objects.order_by('-created')

# SOLUTION: Index the sort field
class Order(models.Model):
    created = models.DateTimeField(db_index=True)

Rule: Use composite indexes for common query patterns

class Order(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    status = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    created = models.DateTimeField()

    class Meta:
        indexes = [
            models.Index(fields=['user', 'status']),  # for filter(user=x, status=y)
            models.Index(fields=['status', '-created']),  # for filter(status=x).order_by('-created')
        ]

Validation Checklist for Missing Indexes


Priority 4: Write Loops (HIGH)

Impact: N database writes instead of 1. Lock contention. Slow requests.

Rule: Use bulk_create instead of create() in loops

# PROBLEM: N inserts, N round trips
for item in items:
    Model.objects.create(name=item['name'])

# SOLUTION: Single bulk insert
Model.objects.bulk_create([
    Model(name=item['name']) for item in items
])

Rule: Use update() or bulk_update instead of save() in loops

# PROBLEM: N updates
for obj in queryset:
    obj.status = 'done'
    obj.save()

# SOLUTION A: Single UPDATE statement (same value for all)
queryset.update(status='done')

# SOLUTION B: bulk_update (different values)
for obj in objects:
    obj.status = compute_status(obj)
Model.objects.bulk_update(objects, ['status'], batch_size=500)

Rule: Use delete() on queryset, not in loops

# PROBLEM: N deletes
for obj in queryset:
    obj.delete()

# SOLUTION: Single DELETE
queryset.delete()

Validation Checklist for Write Loops


Priority 5: Inefficient Patterns (LOW)

Rarely worth reporting. Include only as minor notes if you're already reporting real issues.

Pattern: count() vs exists()

# Slightly suboptimal
if queryset.count() > 0:
    do_thing()

# Marginally better
if queryset.exists():
    do_thing()

Usually skip - difference is <1ms in most cases.

Pattern: len(queryset) vs count()

# Fetches all rows to count
if len(queryset) > 0:  # bad if queryset not yet evaluated

# Single COUNT query
if queryset.count() > 0:

Only flag if queryset is large and not already evaluated.

Pattern: get() in small loops

# N queries, but if N is small (< 20), often fine
for id in ids:
    obj = Model.objects.get(id=id)

Only flag if loop is large or this is in a very hot path.


Validation Requirements

Before reporting ANY issue:

  1. Trace the data flow - Follow queryset from creation to consumption
  2. Search for existing optimizations - Grep for select_related, prefetch_related, pagination
  3. Verify data volume - Check if table is actually large
  4. Confirm hot path - Trace call sites, verify this runs frequently
  5. Rule out mitigations - Check for caching, rate limiting

If you cannot validate all steps, do not report.


Output Format

## Django Performance Review: [File/Component Name]

### Summary
Validated issues: X (Y Critical, Z High)

### Findings

#### [PERF-001] N+1 Query in UserListView (CRITICAL)
**Location:** `views.py:45`

**Issue:** Related field `profile` accessed in template loop without prefetch.

**Validation:**
- Traced: UserListView → users queryset → user_list.html → `{{ user.profile.bio }}` in loop
- Searched codebase: no select_related('profile') found
- User table: 50k+ rows (verified in admin)
- Hot path: linked from homepage navigation

**Evidence:**
```python
def get_queryset(self):
    return User.objects.filter(active=True)  # no select_related

Fix:

def get_queryset(self):
    return User.objects.filter(active=True).select_related('profile')

If no issues found: "No performance issues identified after reviewing [files] and validating [what you checked]."

**Before submitting, sanity check each finding:**
- Does the severity match the actual impact? ("Minor inefficiency" ≠ CRITICAL)
- Is this a real performance issue or just a style preference?
- Would fixing this measurably improve performance?

If the answer to any is "no" - remove the finding.

---

## What NOT to Report

- Test files
- Admin-only views
- Management commands
- Migration files
- One-time scripts
- Code behind disabled feature flags
- Tables with <1000 rows that won't grow
- Patterns in cold paths (rarely executed code)
- Micro-optimizations (exists vs count, only/defer without evidence)

### False Positives to Avoid

**Queryset variable assignment is not an issue:**
```python
# This is FINE - no performance difference
projects_qs = Project.objects.filter(org=org)
projects = list(projects_qs)

# vs this - identical performance
projects = list(Project.objects.filter(org=org))

Querysets are lazy. Assigning to a variable doesn't execute anything.

Single query patterns are not N+1:

# This is ONE query, not N+1
projects = list(Project.objects.filter(org=org))

N+1 requires a loop that triggers additional queries. A single list() call is fine.

Missing select_related on single object fetch is not N+1:

# This is 2 queries, not N+1 - report as LOW at most
state = AutofixState.objects.filter(pr_id=pr_id).first()
project_id = state.request.project_id  # second query

N+1 requires a loop. A single object doing 2 queries instead of 1 can be reported as LOW if relevant, but never as CRITICAL/HIGH.

Style preferences are not performance issues: If your only suggestion is "combine these two lines" or "rename this variable" - that's style, not performance. Don't report it.

name: doc-coauthoring description: Guide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.

Doc Co-Authoring Workflow

This skill provides a structured workflow for guiding users through collaborative document creation. Act as an active guide, walking users through three stages: Context Gathering, Refinement & Structure, and Reader Testing.

When to Offer This Workflow

Trigger conditions:

Initial offer: Offer the user a structured workflow for co-authoring the document. Explain the three stages:

  1. Context Gathering: User provides all relevant context while Claude asks clarifying questions
  2. Refinement & Structure: Iteratively build each section through brainstorming and editing
  3. Reader Testing: Test the doc with a fresh Claude (no context) to catch blind spots before others read it

Explain that this approach helps ensure the doc works well when others read it (including when they paste it into Claude). Ask if they want to try this workflow or prefer to work freeform.

If user declines, work freeform. If user accepts, proceed to Stage 1.

Stage 1: Context Gathering

Goal: Close the gap between what the user knows and what Claude knows, enabling smart guidance later.

Initial Questions

Start by asking the user for meta-context about the document:

  1. What type of document is this? (e.g., technical spec, decision doc, proposal)
  2. Who's the primary audience?
  3. What's the desired impact when someone reads this?
  4. Is there a template or specific format to follow?
  5. Any other constraints or context to know?

Inform them they can answer in shorthand or dump information however works best for them.

If user provides a template or mentions a doc type:

If user mentions editing an existing shared document:

Info Dumping

Once initial questions are answered, encourage the user to dump all the context they have. Request information such as:

Advise them not to worry about organizing it - just get it all out. Offer multiple ways to provide context:

If integrations are available (e.g., Slack, Teams, Google Drive, SharePoint, or other MCP servers), mention that these can be used to pull in context directly.

If no integrations are detected and in Claude.ai or Claude app: Suggest they can enable connectors in their Claude settings to allow pulling context from messaging apps and document storage directly.

Inform them clarifying questions will be asked once they've done their initial dump.

During context gathering:

Asking clarifying questions:

When user signals they've done their initial dump (or after substantial context provided), ask clarifying questions to ensure understanding:

Generate 5-10 numbered questions based on gaps in the context.

Inform them they can use shorthand to answer (e.g., "1: yes, 2: see #channel, 3: no because backwards compat"), link to more docs, point to channels to read, or just keep info-dumping. Whatever's most efficient for them.

Exit condition: Sufficient context has been gathered when questions show understanding - when edge cases and trade-offs can be asked about without needing basics explained.

Transition: Ask if there's any more context they want to provide at this stage, or if it's time to move on to drafting the document.

If user wants to add more, let them. When ready, proceed to Stage 2.

Stage 2: Refinement & Structure

Goal: Build the document section by section through brainstorming, curation, and iterative refinement.

Instructions to user: Explain that the document will be built section by section. For each section:

  1. Clarifying questions will be asked about what to include
  2. 5-20 options will be brainstormed
  3. User will indicate what to keep/remove/combine
  4. The section will be drafted
  5. It will be refined through surgical edits

Start with whichever section has the most unknowns (usually the core decision/proposal), then work through the rest.

Section ordering:

If the document structure is clear: Ask which section they'd like to start with.

Suggest starting with whichever section has the most unknowns. For decision docs, that's usually the core proposal. For specs, it's typically the technical approach. Summary sections are best left for last.

If user doesn't know what sections they need: Based on the type of document and template, suggest 3-5 sections appropriate for the doc type.

Ask if this structure works, or if they want to adjust it.

Once structure is agreed:

Create the initial document structure with placeholder text for all sections.

If access to artifacts is available: Use create_file to create an artifact. This gives both Claude and the user a scaffold to work from.

Inform them that the initial structure with placeholders for all sections will be created.

Create artifact with all section headers and brief placeholder text like "[To be written]" or "[Content here]".

Provide the scaffold link and indicate it's time to fill in each section.

If no access to artifacts: Create a markdown file in the working directory. Name it appropriately (e.g., decision-doc.md, technical-spec.md).

Inform them that the initial structure with placeholders for all sections will be created.

Create file with all section headers and placeholder text.

Confirm the filename has been created and indicate it's time to fill in each section.

For each section:

Step 1: Clarifying Questions

Announce work will begin on the [SECTION NAME] section. Ask 5-10 clarifying questions about what should be included:

Generate 5-10 specific questions based on context and section purpose.

Inform them they can answer in shorthand or just indicate what's important to cover.

Step 2: Brainstorming

For the [SECTION NAME] section, brainstorm [5-20] things that might be included, depending on the section's complexity. Look for:

Generate 5-20 numbered options based on section complexity. At the end, offer to brainstorm more if they want additional options.

Step 3: Curation

Ask which points should be kept, removed, or combined. Request brief justifications to help learn priorities for the next sections.

Provide examples:

If user gives freeform feedback (e.g., "looks good" or "I like most of it but...") instead of numbered selections, extract their preferences and proceed. Parse what they want kept/removed/changed and apply it.

Step 4: Gap Check

Based on what they've selected, ask if there's anything important missing for the [SECTION NAME] section.

Step 5: Drafting

Use str_replace to replace the placeholder text for this section with the actual drafted content.

Announce the [SECTION NAME] section will be drafted now based on what they've selected.

If using artifacts: After drafting, provide a link to the artifact.

Ask them to read through it and indicate what to change. Note that being specific helps learning for the next sections.

If using a file (no artifacts): After drafting, confirm completion.

Inform them the [SECTION NAME] section has been drafted in [filename]. Ask them to read through it and indicate what to change. Note that being specific helps learning for the next sections.

Key instruction for user (include when drafting the first section): Provide a note: Instead of editing the doc directly, ask them to indicate what to change. This helps learning of their style for future sections. For example: "Remove the X bullet - already covered by Y" or "Make the third paragraph more concise".

Step 6: Iterative Refinement

As user provides feedback:

Continue iterating until user is satisfied with the section.

Quality Checking

After 3 consecutive iterations with no substantial changes, ask if anything can be removed without losing important information.

When section is done, confirm [SECTION NAME] is complete. Ask if ready to move to the next section.

Repeat for all sections.

Near Completion

As approaching completion (80%+ of sections done), announce intention to re-read the entire document and check for:

Read entire document and provide feedback.

When all sections are drafted and refined: Announce all sections are drafted. Indicate intention to review the complete document one more time.

Review for overall coherence, flow, completeness.

Provide any final suggestions.

Ask if ready to move to Reader Testing, or if they want to refine anything else.

Stage 3: Reader Testing

Goal: Test the document with a fresh Claude (no context bleed) to verify it works for readers.

Instructions to user: Explain that testing will now occur to see if the document actually works for readers. This catches blind spots - things that make sense to the authors but might confuse others.

Testing Approach

If access to sub-agents is available (e.g., in Claude Code):

Perform the testing directly without user involvement.

Step 1: Predict Reader Questions

Announce intention to predict what questions readers might ask when trying to discover this document.

Generate 5-10 questions that readers would realistically ask.

Step 2: Test with Sub-Agent

Announce that these questions will be tested with a fresh Claude instance (no context from this conversation).

For each question, invoke a sub-agent with just the document content and the question.

Summarize what Reader Claude got right/wrong for each question.

Step 3: Run Additional Checks

Announce additional checks will be performed.

Invoke sub-agent to check for ambiguity, false assumptions, contradictions.

Summarize any issues found.

Step 4: Report and Fix

If issues found: Report that Reader Claude struggled with specific issues.

List the specific issues.

Indicate intention to fix these gaps.

Loop back to refinement for problematic sections.


If no access to sub-agents (e.g., claude.ai web interface):

The user will need to do the testing manually.

Step 1: Predict Reader Questions

Ask what questions people might ask when trying to discover this document. What would they type into Claude.ai?

Generate 5-10 questions that readers would realistically ask.

Step 2: Setup Testing

Provide testing instructions:

  1. Open a fresh Claude conversation: https://claude.ai
  2. Paste or share the document content (if using a shared doc platform with connectors enabled, provide the link)
  3. Ask Reader Claude the generated questions

For each question, instruct Reader Claude to provide:

Check if Reader Claude gives correct answers or misinterprets anything.

Step 3: Additional Checks

Also ask Reader Claude:

Step 4: Iterate Based on Results

Ask what Reader Claude got wrong or struggled with. Indicate intention to fix those gaps.

Loop back to refinement for any problematic sections.


Exit Condition (Both Approaches)

When Reader Claude consistently answers questions correctly and doesn't surface new gaps or ambiguities, the doc is ready.

Final Review

When Reader Testing passes: Announce the doc has passed Reader Claude testing. Before completion:

  1. Recommend they do a final read-through themselves - they own this document and are responsible for its quality
  2. Suggest double-checking any facts, links, or technical details
  3. Ask them to verify it achieves the impact they wanted

Ask if they want one more review, or if the work is done.

If user wants final review, provide it. Otherwise: Announce document completion. Provide a few final tips:

name: iterate-pr description: Iterate on a PR until CI passes. Use when you need to fix CI failures, address review feedback, or continuously push fixes until all checks are green. Automates the feedback-fix-push-wait cycle.

Iterate on PR Until CI Passes

Continuously iterate on the current branch until all CI checks pass and review feedback is addressed.

Requires: GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated.

Important: All scripts must be run from the repository root directory (where .git is located), not from the skill directory. Use the full path to the script via ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}.

Bundled Scripts

scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py

Fetches CI check status and extracts failure snippets from logs.

uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py [--pr NUMBER]

Returns JSON:

{
  "pr": {"number": 123, "branch": "feat/foo"},
  "summary": {"total": 5, "passed": 3, "failed": 2, "pending": 0},
  "checks": [
    {"name": "tests", "status": "fail", "log_snippet": "...", "run_id": 123},
    {"name": "lint", "status": "pass"}
  ]
}

scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py

Fetches and categorizes PR review feedback using the LOGAF scale.

uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py [--pr NUMBER]

Returns JSON with feedback categorized as:

Workflow

1. Identify PR

gh pr view --json number,url,headRefName

Stop if no PR exists for the current branch.

2. Check CI Status

Run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/fetch_pr_checks.py to get structured failure data.

Wait if pending: If bot-related checks (sentry, codecov, cursor, bugbot, seer) are still running, wait before proceeding—they may post additional feedback.

3. Fix CI Failures

For each failure in the script output:

  1. Read the log_snippet to understand the failure
  2. Read the relevant code before making changes
  3. Fix the issue with minimal, targeted changes

Do NOT assume what failed based on check name alone—always read the logs.

4. Gather Review Feedback

Run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/fetch_pr_feedback.py to get categorized feedback.

5. Handle Feedback by LOGAF Priority

Auto-fix (no prompt):

Prompt user for selection:

Found 3 low-priority suggestions:
1. [l] "Consider renaming this variable" - @reviewer in api.py:42
2. [nit] "Could use a list comprehension" - @reviewer in utils.py:18
3. [style] "Add a docstring" - @reviewer in models.py:55

Which would you like to address? (e.g., "1,3" or "all" or "none")

Skip silently:

6. Commit and Push

git add <files>
git commit -m "fix: <descriptive message>"
git push

7. Wait for CI

gh pr checks --watch --interval 30

8. Repeat

Return to step 2 if CI failed or new feedback appeared.

Exit Conditions

Success: All checks pass, no unaddressed high/medium feedback, user has decided on low-priority items.

Ask for help: Same failure after 3 attempts, feedback needs clarification, infrastructure issues.

Stop: No PR exists, branch needs rebase.

Fallback

If scripts fail, use gh CLI directly:

Security Review Skill

Identify exploitable security vulnerabilities in code. Report only HIGH CONFIDENCE findings—clear vulnerable patterns with attacker-controlled input.

Scope: Research vs. Reporting

CRITICAL DISTINCTION:

Before flagging any issue, you MUST research the codebase to understand:

Do NOT report issues based solely on pattern matching. Investigate first, then report only what you're confident is exploitable.

Confidence Levels

Level Criteria Action
HIGH Vulnerable pattern + attacker-controlled input confirmed Report with severity
MEDIUM Vulnerable pattern, input source unclear Note as "Needs verification"
LOW Theoretical, best practice, defense-in-depth Do not report

Do Not Flag

General Rules

Server-Controlled Values (NOT Attacker-Controlled)

These are configured by operators, not controlled by attackers:

Source Example Why It's Safe
Django settings settings.API_URL, settings.ALLOWED_HOSTS Set via config/env at deployment
Environment variables os.environ.get('DATABASE_URL') Deployment configuration
Config files config.yaml, app.config['KEY'] Server-side files
Framework constants django.conf.settings.* Not user-modifiable
Hardcoded values BASE_URL = "https://api.internal" Compile-time constants

SSRF Example - NOT a vulnerability:

# SAFE: URL comes from Django settings (server-controlled)
response = requests.get(f"{settings.SEER_AUTOFIX_URL}{path}")

SSRF Example - IS a vulnerability:

# VULNERABLE: URL comes from request (attacker-controlled)
response = requests.get(request.GET.get('url'))

Framework-Mitigated Patterns

Check language guides before flagging. Common false positives:

Pattern Why It's Usually Safe
Django {{ variable }} Auto-escaped by default
React {variable} Auto-escaped by default
Vue {{ variable }} Auto-escaped by default
User.objects.filter(id=input) ORM parameterizes queries
cursor.execute("...%s", (input,)) Parameterized query
innerHTML = "<b>Loading...</b>" Constant string, no user input

Only flag these when:

Review Process

1. Detect Context

What type of code am I reviewing?

Code Type Load These References
API endpoints, routes authorization.md, authentication.md, injection.md
Frontend, templates xss.md, csrf.md
File handling, uploads file-security.md
Crypto, secrets, tokens cryptography.md, data-protection.md
Data serialization deserialization.md
External requests ssrf.md
Business workflows business-logic.md
GraphQL, REST design api-security.md
Config, headers, CORS misconfiguration.md
CI/CD, dependencies supply-chain.md
Error handling error-handling.md
Audit, logging logging.md

2. Load Language Guide

Based on file extension or imports:

Indicators Guide
.py, django, flask, fastapi languages/python.md
.js, .ts, express, react, vue, next languages/javascript.md
.go, go.mod languages/go.md
.rs, Cargo.toml languages/rust.md
.java, spring, @Controller languages/java.md

3. Load Infrastructure Guide (if applicable)

File Type Guide
Dockerfile, .dockerignore infrastructure/docker.md
K8s manifests, Helm charts infrastructure/kubernetes.md
.tf, Terraform infrastructure/terraform.md
GitHub Actions, .gitlab-ci.yml infrastructure/ci-cd.md
AWS/GCP/Azure configs, IAM infrastructure/cloud.md

4. Research Before Flagging

For each potential issue, research the codebase to build confidence:

Only report issues where you have HIGH confidence after understanding the broader context.

5. Verify Exploitability

For each potential finding, confirm:

Is the input attacker-controlled?

Attacker-Controlled (Investigate) Server-Controlled (Usually Safe)
request.GET, request.POST, request.args settings.X, app.config['X']
request.json, request.data, request.body os.environ.get('X')
request.headers (most headers) Hardcoded constants
request.cookies (unsigned) Internal service URLs from config
URL path segments: /users/<id>/ Database content from admin/system
File uploads (content and names) Signed session data
Database content from other users Framework settings
WebSocket messages

Does the framework mitigate this?

Is there validation upstream?

6. Report HIGH Confidence Only

Skip theoretical issues. Report only what you've confirmed is exploitable after research.


Severity Classification

Severity Impact Examples
Critical Direct exploit, severe impact, no auth required RCE, SQL injection to data, auth bypass, hardcoded secrets
High Exploitable with conditions, significant impact Stored XSS, SSRF to metadata, IDOR to sensitive data
Medium Specific conditions required, moderate impact Reflected XSS, CSRF on state-changing actions, path traversal
Low Defense-in-depth, minimal direct impact Missing headers, verbose errors, weak algorithms in non-critical context

Quick Patterns Reference

Always Flag (Critical)

eval(user_input)           # Any language
exec(user_input)           # Any language
pickle.loads(user_data)    # Python
yaml.load(user_data)       # Python (not safe_load)
unserialize($user_data)    # PHP
deserialize(user_data)     # Java ObjectInputStream
shell=True + user_input    # Python subprocess
child_process.exec(user)   # Node.js

Always Flag (High)

innerHTML = userInput              # DOM XSS
dangerouslySetInnerHTML={user}     # React XSS
v-html="userInput"                 # Vue XSS
f"SELECT * FROM x WHERE {user}"    # SQL injection
`SELECT * FROM x WHERE ${user}`    # SQL injection
os.system(f"cmd {user_input}")     # Command injection

Always Flag (Secrets)

password = "hardcoded"
api_key = "sk-..."
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "..."
private_key = "-----BEGIN"

Check Context First (MUST Investigate Before Flagging)

# SSRF - ONLY if URL is from user input, NOT from settings/config
requests.get(request.GET['url'])     # FLAG: User-controlled URL
requests.get(settings.API_URL)       # SAFE: Server-controlled config
requests.get(f"{settings.BASE}/{x}") # CHECK: Is 'x' user input?

# Path traversal - ONLY if path is from user input
open(request.GET['file'])            # FLAG: User-controlled path
open(settings.LOG_PATH)              # SAFE: Server-controlled config
open(f"{BASE_DIR}/{filename}")       # CHECK: Is 'filename' user input?

# Open redirect - ONLY if URL is from user input
redirect(request.GET['next'])        # FLAG: User-controlled redirect
redirect(settings.LOGIN_URL)         # SAFE: Server-controlled config

# Weak crypto - ONLY if used for security purposes
hashlib.md5(file_content)            # SAFE: File checksums, caching
hashlib.md5(password)                # FLAG: Password hashing
random.random()                      # SAFE: Non-security uses (UI, sampling)
random.random() for token            # FLAG: Security tokens need secrets module

/sentry-skill-creator

Source: ~/.claude/skills/sentry-skill-creator/SKILL.md


name: skill-creator description: Create new agent skills following the Agent Skills specification. Use when asked to "create a skill", "add a new skill", "write a skill", "make a skill", "build a skill", or scaffold a new skill with SKILL.md. Guides through requirements, writing, registration, and verification.

Create a New Skill

Guide the user through creating a new agent skill following the Agent Skills specification. Follow each step in order.

Step 1: Understand the Skill

Gather requirements before writing anything.

Ask the user:

  1. What should this skill do? (one sentence)
  2. When should an agent use it? (trigger phrases)
  3. What tools does the skill need? (Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, Task, WebFetch, etc.)
  4. Where should the skill live? (which plugin or directory)

Determine the skill name:

Choose a complexity tier:

Tier Structure Use When
Simple SKILL.md only Self-contained instructions under ~200 lines
With references SKILL.md + references/ Domain knowledge that agents load conditionally
With scripts SKILL.md + scripts/ Workflow automation needing Python scripts
Full All of the above Complex skills with automation and domain knowledge

Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/design-principles.md for guidance on keeping skills focused and concise.

Step 2: Study Existing Skills

Before writing, study 1-2 existing skills that match the chosen tier. Look for skills in the target repository or plugin to understand local conventions.

Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/skill-patterns.md for concrete examples of each tier.

Also read CLAUDE.md (or AGENTS.md) at the repository root for repo-specific conventions that the skill should follow.

Step 3: Write the SKILL.md

Create <skill-directory>/<name>/SKILL.md.

Frontmatter

The YAML frontmatter must be the first thing in the file. No comments or blank lines before ---.

---
name: <skill-name>
description: <what it does>. Use when <trigger phrases>. <key capabilities>.
---

Required fields:

Optional fields:

Body Guidelines

Write the body in imperative voice — these are instructions, not documentation.

Do Don't
"Read the file and extract..." "This skill reads the file and extracts..."
"Report only HIGH confidence findings" "The agent should report only HIGH confidence findings"
"Ask the user which option to use" "You may want to ask the user..."

Structure:

  1. Start with a one-line summary of what the skill does
  2. Organize steps with ## Step N: Title headings
  3. Use tables for decision logic and mappings
  4. Include concrete examples of expected output
  5. End with validation criteria or exit conditions

Size limits:

Attribution

If the skill is based on or adapted from external sources, add an HTML comment after the frontmatter closing ---:

---
name: example
description: ...
---

<!--
Based on [Original Name] by [Author/Org]:
https://github.com/example/original-source
-->

Step 4: Create Supporting Files

References (references/)

Use for domain knowledge the agent loads conditionally.

<name>/
├── SKILL.md
└── references/
    ├── topic-a.md
    └── topic-b.md

Reference from SKILL.md with:

Read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/topic-a.md` for details on [topic].

Keep each reference file focused on one topic. Use markdown with tables and code blocks.

Scripts (scripts/)

Use for workflow automation that benefits from structured Python.

<name>/
├── SKILL.md
└── scripts/
    └── do_thing.py

Script requirements:

# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.12"
# dependencies = ["requests"]
# ///

Assets (assets/)

Use for static files the skill references (templates, configs, etc.).

LICENSE

Include a LICENSE file in the skill directory when vendoring content with specific licensing requirements.

Step 5: Register the Skill

Registration steps vary by repository. Check the repository's CLAUDE.md or README.md for specific instructions.

  1. Verify directory-name match — confirm the directory name matches the name field in SKILL.md frontmatter exactly
  2. Update documentation — add the skill to any skills index or table in README.md
  3. Update permissions — if the repo has .claude/settings.json, add Skill(<plugin>:<name>) to the permissions.allow array
  4. Check CLAUDE.md — read the repository's CLAUDE.md for any additional registration steps specific to that project

Step 6: Verify

Run through this checklist before finishing:

Frontmatter

Content

Registration

Scripts (if applicable)

Report any issues found and fix them before completing.

/sentry-skill-scanner

Source: ~/.claude/skills/sentry-skill-scanner/SKILL.md


name: skill-scanner description: Scan agent skills for security issues. Use when asked to "scan a skill", "audit a skill", "review skill security", "check skill for injection", "validate SKILL.md", or assess whether an agent skill is safe to install. Checks for prompt injection, malicious scripts, excessive permissions, secret exposure, and supply chain risks. allowed-tools: Read Grep Glob Bash

Skill Security Scanner

Scan agent skills for security issues before adoption. Detects prompt injection, malicious code, excessive permissions, secret exposure, and supply chain risks.

Important: Run all scripts from the repository root using the full path via ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}.

Bundled Script

scripts/scan_skill.py

Static analysis scanner that detects deterministic patterns. Outputs structured JSON.

uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/scan_skill.py <skill-directory>

Returns JSON with findings, URLs, structure info, and severity counts. The script catches patterns mechanically — your job is to evaluate intent and filter false positives.

Workflow

Phase 1: Input & Discovery

Determine the scan target:

Validate the target contains a SKILL.md file. List the skill structure:

ls -la <skill-directory>/
ls <skill-directory>/references/ 2>/dev/null
ls <skill-directory>/scripts/ 2>/dev/null

Phase 2: Automated Static Scan

Run the bundled scanner:

uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/scan_skill.py <skill-directory>

Parse the JSON output. The script produces findings with severity levels, URL analysis, and structure information. Use these as leads for deeper analysis.

Fallback: If the script fails, proceed with manual analysis using Grep patterns from the reference files.

Phase 3: Frontmatter Validation

Read the SKILL.md and check:

Phase 4: Prompt Injection Analysis

Load ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/prompt-injection-patterns.md for context.

Review scanner findings in the "Prompt Injection" category. For each finding:

  1. Read the surrounding context in the file
  2. Determine if the pattern is performing injection (malicious) or discussing/detecting injection (legitimate)
  3. Skills about security, testing, or education commonly reference injection patterns — this is expected

Critical distinction: A security review skill that lists injection patterns in its references is documenting threats, not attacking. Only flag patterns that would execute against the agent running the skill.

Phase 5: Behavioral Analysis

This phase is agent-only — no pattern matching. Read the full SKILL.md instructions and evaluate:

Description vs. instructions alignment:

Config/memory poisoning:

Scope creep:

Information gathering:

Phase 6: Script Analysis

If the skill has a scripts/ directory:

  1. Load ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/dangerous-code-patterns.md for context
  2. Read each script file fully (do not skip any)
  3. Check scanner findings in the "Malicious Code" category
  4. For each finding, evaluate:
    • Data exfiltration: Does the script send data to external URLs? What data?
    • Reverse shells: Socket connections with redirected I/O
    • Credential theft: Reading SSH keys, .env files, tokens from environment
    • Dangerous execution: eval/exec with dynamic input, shell=True with interpolation
    • Config modification: Writing to agent settings, shell configs, git hooks
  5. Check PEP 723 dependencies — are they legitimate, well-known packages?
  6. Verify the script's behavior matches the SKILL.md description of what it does

Legitimate patterns: gh CLI calls, git commands, reading project files, JSON output to stdout are normal for skill scripts.

Phase 7: Supply Chain Assessment

Review URLs from the scanner output and any additional URLs found in scripts:

Phase 8: Permission Analysis

Load ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/permission-analysis.md for the tool risk matrix.

Evaluate:

Example assessments:

Confidence Levels

Level Criteria Action
HIGH Pattern confirmed + malicious intent evident Report with severity
MEDIUM Suspicious pattern, intent unclear Note as "Needs verification"
LOW Theoretical, best practice only Do not report

False positive awareness is critical. The biggest risk is flagging legitimate security skills as malicious because they reference attack patterns. Always evaluate intent before reporting.
