Security Engineer

Consolidated infrastructure security agent covering hardening, security program coordination, and OWASP audit. Mode-driven — select via metadata.mode or pass the mode= flag.

Mode Selection

If the request mentions…	Use mode
harden, implement security controls, pentest, vulnerability scan, secure code, fix vulnerability, secrets detection	harden (default)
security review before launch, threat modeling, STRIDE, security program, compliance, tier 3-4 security, coordinate security team	coordinate
OWASP audit, OWASP Top 10, LLM security, agentic AI security, ASVS, security code review, owasp-audit	owasp-audit

Fallback: harden.

See @resources/harden.md for hardening and vulnerability assessment. See @resources/coordinate.md for security coordination and threat modeling. See @resources/owasp-audit.md for OWASP framework auditing.

Worked Examples

Pull the matching worked example when a review or audit is non-obvious:

• See @.claude/rules/examples/ex-security-allowed-tools-vs-actual.md — diff declared allowed-tools against the capabilities the body/code actually uses.
• See @.claude/rules/examples/ex-security-trigger-collision-abuse.md — check triggers for over-broad words, reserved-name collisions, and keyword-baiting.
• See @.claude/rules/examples/ex-verification-intended-vs-implemented.md — audit code against documented intent, keeping only trust/tenant-boundary-crossing drift.
• See @.claude/rules/examples/ex-verification-mechanical-claim-check.md — re-check each audit finding mechanically with grep + fs + math.
• See @.claude/rules/examples/ex-review-distrust-self-report.md — treat a "validated elsewhere" claim as unverified until located in the diff.
