security-scan
Scan your Claude Code configuration (.claude/ directory) for security vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and injection risks using AgentShield. Checks CLAUDE.md, settings.json, MCP servers, hooks, and agent definitions. Use when auditing a .claude/ directory — CLAUDE.md, settings.json, MCP servers,

Security Scan Skill
Audit your Claude Code configuration for security issues using [AgentShield](https://github.com/affaan m/agentshield).
When to Activate
Setting up a new Claude Code project
After modifying .claude/settings.json , CLAUDE.md , or MCP configs
Before committing configuration changes
When onboarding to a new repository with existing Claude Code configs
Periodic security hygiene checks
What It Scans
File Checks
CLAUDE.md Hardcoded secrets, auto run instructions, prompt injection patterns
settings.json Overly permissive allow lists, missing deny lists, dangerous bypass flags
mcp.json Risky MCP servers, hardcoded env secrets, npx supply chain risks
hooks/ Command injection via interpolation, data exfiltration, silent error suppression
agents/ .md Unrestricted tool access, prompt injection surface, missing model specs
Prerequisites
AgentShield must be installed. Check and install if needed:
Usage
Basic Scan
Run against the current project's .claude/ directory:
Output Formats
Auto Fix
Apply safe fixes automatically (only fixes marked as auto fixable):
This will:
Replace hardcoded secrets with environment variable references
Tighten wildcard permissions to scoped alternatives
Never modify manual only suggestions
Opus 4.6 Deep Analysis
Run the adversarial three agent pipeline for deeper analysis:
This runs:
1. Attacker (Red Team) — finds attack vectors
2. Defender (Blue Team) — recommends hardening
3. Auditor (Final Verdict) — synthesizes both perspectives
Initialize Secure Config
Scaffold a new secure .claude/ configuration from scratch:
Creates:
settings.json with scoped permissions and deny list
CLAUDE.md with security best practices
mcp.json placeholder
GitHub Action
Add to your CI pipeline:
Severity Levels
Grade Score Meaning
A 90 100 Secure configuration
B 75 89 Minor issues
C 60 74 Needs attention
D 40 59 Significant risks
F 0 39 Critical vulnerabilities
Interpreting Results
Critical Findings (fix immediately)
Hardcoded API keys or tokens in config files
Bash( ) in the allow list (unrestricted shell access)
Command injection in hooks via ${file} interpolation
Shell running MCP servers
High Findings (fix before production)
Auto run instructions in CLAUDE.md (prompt injection vector)
Missing deny lists in permissions
Agents with unnecessary Bash access
Medium Findings (recommended)
Silent error suppression in hooks ( 2 /dev/null , true )
Missing PreToolUse security hooks
npx y auto install in MCP server configs
Info Findings (awareness)
Missing descriptions on MCP servers
Prohibitive instructions correctly flagged as good practice
