security-review

Runs a guided, end-to-end security review of a Power Pages site and consolidates every finding into one HTML report covering the live site, browser headers, firewall, authentication, and role-based permissions. Use when the user wants a full security review, a release-readiness check before publishing, an access-and-config check during development, live site monitoring, or asks open-ended questions like "review my site security", "is my site safe to ship", "do a security check", "monitor my site" — even if they do not name the individual checks.

Skill body

Plugin check: Run node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-version.js" — if it outputs a message, show it to the user before proceeding.

Review Security

Guide the user through a full security review of their Power Pages site. Runs the matching focused skills and assembles every finding into a single HTML report.

The skill never asks the user technical questions. The conversation stays in plain language.

Initial request: $ARGUMENTS

Workflow

The skill has six phases. Phases 2–5 each map to one conversation beat with the user; phases 1 and 6 are silent setup and cleanup. See references/flow.md for the rationale behind each beat.

Phase What happens User-facing beat
1 — Prerequisites Locate project, set up working folders (silent setup)
2 — Scope Capture goal — one question, three answers, plain language Ask the goal
3 — Skills Run the matching skills, surface progress Scan in progress
4 — Report Build the consolidated report — totals + per-section findings Results summary + Findings
5 — Present Present results, offer remediation follow-ups Next steps and guidance
6 — Cleanup Remove temporary files (silent cleanup)

Task Tracking

Create tasks in three groups. Mark each in_progress when starting, completed when done.

Group 1 — create at the start of prerequisites:

Task subject activeForm
Check prerequisites Checking prerequisites

Only this one task. Do not create any other tasks until prerequisites complete.

Group 2 — create after prerequisites complete:

Task subject activeForm
Capture goal Capturing goal

Group 3 — create after the goal is captured:

Task subject activeForm
Run skills Running checks
Build the report Building the report
Present findings Presenting findings
Clean up Cleaning up

1. Prerequisites

1.1 Locate the project

Use Glob to find **/powerpages.config.json. If none is found, tell the user the site needs to be created first with /create-site, then stop.

For the monitor and release goals (any goal that delegates to scan-site or manage-firewall), also confirm that .powerpages-site/website.yml exists. If it does not, the site has not been deployed yet — tell the user (in plain language) the site needs to be deployed once before a live security review can run, recommend /deploy-site, then stop. Do not try to identify the site by name or URL — different sites can share the same name.

For the access-config goal, the deploy check is not required: authentication, web roles, and table permissions are read from local YAML alone.

1.2 Prepare a temporary working folder

Create a fresh working directory: <SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/. The folder holds JSON data files emitted by each skill in review mode. The folder is removed in the cleanup step.

If the folder already exists from a previous interrupted run, delete its contents (not the folder itself) before continuing.

1.3 Determine the docs output path

The final HTML always lives at <PROJECT_ROOT>/docs/security-review-<YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS>.html using the local timestamp at the start of the run (e.g. security-review-2026-05-14-053805.html). Always include the timestamp — do not use a bare security-review.html name. This keeps each run’s report distinct.


2. Capture goal

2.1 Ask the goal

Ask the user with a single AskUserQuestion call. If the user’s initial request already answers it, skip and continue.

Question — What to review?

Label Description
Access & config Check authentication, web roles, and table permissions. Works on local files only.
Release readiness Full review before publishing — checks everything. (Recommended)
Deployed site Check the live site for issues. Requires deployment.

Goal mapping (internal):

Label Goal id Skills
Access & config access-config audit-permissions, setup-auth (read-only)
Release readiness release scan-site, manage-headers, manage-firewall, audit-permissions, setup-auth (read-only)
Deployed site monitor scan-site

2.2 Capture the chosen skill set

Build a selectedSkills list based on the answer. Always include the read-only check of setup-auth for the access-config and release goals (it consists of reading existing YAML, not running the skill itself — see § 3.2 below). This is the Access & Data Security Validation component.


3. Run the matching skills

Spawn each selected skill as a background subagent via the Agent tool. Each subagent invokes its skill with the argument --review <SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/. Each skill handles its own authentication, error reporting, and progress.

3.1 Skill invocation via subagents

Skills run as parallel subagents using the Agent tool.

Default — launch every Agent-eligible skill in one parallel batch. Spawn all selected subagents in a single message with multiple Agent tool calls so they start concurrently. Each subagent runs with run_in_background: true. The Agent-eligible set is scan-site, manage-headers, manage-firewall — these all support --review mode. scan-site is the slowest (server-side scan, several minutes); the others typically finish within seconds.

Fallback — staggered launch. If the harness rejects a parallel-batch call for any reason, launch scan-site first and then the remaining skills in a follow-up message. This is a tool-affordance fallback, not the preferred path.

Inline checks (run while subagents work). audit-permissions and setup-auth do not support --review and MUST NOT be launched via Agent — handle them inline as described in § 3.2.

Wait for all subagents to complete before proceeding to the report-building step.

3.1.1 Subagent prompt pattern

Each subagent receives a self-contained prompt that includes:

  1. The skill to invoke and the --review argument with the temp directory path
  2. The project root path so the skill can locate site files
  3. Any scope/depth parameters captured in the scope capture step

Example subagent call:

Agent({
  description: "Run scan-site",
  prompt: "Invoke the skill `scan-site` with argument `--review <SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/`. The Power Pages project root is <PROJECT_ROOT>. <any additional scope parameters>. Write the **transform script stdout verbatim** to <SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/scan-site.json. Do NOT synthesize, augment, or re-classify the findings. If the skill fails, write { \"status\": \"skipped\", \"reason\": \"<plain-language reason>\" } instead.",
  run_in_background: true
})

Verbatim rule: the subagent’s output JSON must contain only the findings emitted by the skill’s transform script. The orchestrator must not append findings, rewrite titles, add severity, or otherwise editorialize.

3.1.2 Expected output

After all subagents complete, expect JSON files at <SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/<skill-name>.json. Each file has the shape { status, findings, details? } produced by the skill’s transform script:

<SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/
├── scan-site.json
├── manage-headers.json
├── manage-firewall.json
└── audit-permissions.json   (when invoked)

If a skill’s subagent fails or is skipped, write a placeholder file with shape { "status": "skipped", "reason": "<plain-language reason>" }. The report-building step renders this as a single non-severity finding for that section (no severity field, to stay consistent with § 3.1.3).

3.1.3 Severity policy

Only findings that come from a tool that genuinely outputs severity may carry a severity field:

Section Source Severity allowed?
scan-site deep-scan (ZAP) Yes
manage-headers transform-headers.js (inventory) No
manage-firewall transform-firewall.js (inventory) No
audit-permissions Web roles & table permissions audit No
setup-auth Site settings & auth-related source code audit No

For inventory sections, do not add severity to findings — not even info. The subagent and orchestrator must write the transform output verbatim without inserting opinionated severity-bearing findings. The tag field is also off-limits as a severity workaround: it is reserved for short mechanical identifiers from tools (e.g. ZAP rule ids, CWE codes) and MUST NOT carry severity-equivalent strings (critical, warning, info), since the report template renders it as a visible chip next to the title.

3.1.4 Annotations policy (plain-language text)

The transform scripts for manage-firewall and manage-headers produce only structured raw data — they do not hardcode plain-language descriptions. The subagent must generate an annotations JSON file and pass it to the transform via --annotations. The annotations supply:

See each skill’s SKILL.md § 5.1 for the annotation file shape. The agent’s job is to write accurate, terse descriptions based on the raw data — not to invent severities or fabricate issues.

3.2 Skills without --review mode

audit-permissions and setup-auth do not support --review. Handle them inline (not as background subagents):

Write the resulting findings to <SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/setup-auth.json in the same format.

Field policy for both sections — these are inventory sections, not tool-output severities (see § 3.1.3):

3.3 Status updates

Tell the user that all checks are running in parallel. As each subagent completes, give a short progress line (e.g., “Code check finished — 2 important issues, 4 smaller ones.”). Avoid technical jargon. Do not narrate skill internal steps. Once all subagents have finished, confirm that all checks are complete before moving to the report-building step.


4. Build the consolidated report

4.1 Consolidate

Write up to four plain-language next-step recommendations as a JSON string array to <SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/next-steps.json. Compose a 2–4 sentence plain-language summary of the overall state.

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/build-review-data.js" \
  --reportName "Security Review" \
  --inputDir "<SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/" \
  --siteName "<SITE_NAME>" \
  --goalLabel "<GOAL_LABEL>" \
  --scopeLabel "<SCOPE_LABEL>" \
  --summary "<SUMMARY_TEXT>" \
  --nextStepsFile "<SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/next-steps.json" \
  --output "<SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/security-review-data.json"

4.2 Render the master HTML

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/render-review.js" \
  --output "<DOCS_PATH>" \
  --data "<SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/security-review-data.json"

5. Present and follow-ups

5.1 Open in browser

Open <DOCS_PATH> in the user’s default browser.

5.2 Record skill usage

Reference: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/skill-tracking-reference.md

Use --skillName "SecurityReview".

5.3 In-chat summary

Show a short plain-language summary in the chat: counts of critical / warning / info findings, where the report lives. Then offer the next action with AskUserQuestion:

Question Options
What would you like to do next? Walk me through the fixes; Re-run the review; Done for now

If the user picks “walk me through”, group critical findings by section and offer the matching focused skill for each (/manage-headers, /manage-firewall, /audit-permissions, etc.).

If the user picks “re-run”, invoke this skill again with the same goal and scope.


6. Clean up

Delete the entire <SYSTEM_TEMP>/security-review/ folder. The final HTML, located in docs/, must remain. Confirm to the user that temporary files have been removed.

If the cleanup fails (file lock, permission), warn the user and continue — the report is already written and the temp folder can be removed manually later.
