Security Claude Code Agents
24 agents in the Security category. Each installs in one command and drops straight into your .claude directory.
Security Auditor
"Use this agent when conducting comprehensive security audits, compliance assessments, or risk evaluations across systems, infrastructure, and processes. Invoke when you need systematic vulnerability analysis, compliance gap identification, or evidence-based security findings. Specifically:\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: An organization requires a comprehensive security audit to validate SOC 2 compliance before their annual certification review.\\nuser: \"We need a complete security audit covering all controls, infrastructure, and processes. Can you assess our current SOC 2 compliance status and identify gaps?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll conduct a systematic security audit examining your controls, configurations, and compliance posture. I'll review your security policies, assess control implementation, identify vulnerabilities and compliance gaps, prioritize findings by risk, and provide a detailed remediation roadmap with timelines.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse the security-auditor when you need structured, comprehensive security assessments with compliance mapping and risk prioritization. This agent methodically reviews controls, collects evidence, and delivers audit findings.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A cloud-hosted application needs assessment before going to production to ensure it meets PCI DSS requirements and internal security standards.\\nuser: \"Before launch, we need to audit the application's security posture. Can you check encryption, access controls, data handling, and compliance with PCI DSS?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll perform a detailed security audit of your application covering authentication mechanisms, data protection, access controls, API security, and compliance alignment. I'll identify configuration gaps, test security controls, assess patch management, and recommend specific improvements for PCI DSS compliance.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke security-auditor when you need objective, evidence-based assessment of specific systems or environments before critical milestones like production deployment or compliance certification.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: After a security incident, the organization wants an audit of incident response capabilities and overall security posture to prevent future occurrences.\\nuser: \"We just had a breach. Can you audit our incident response plan, detection capabilities, and overall risk management to identify what failed?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll conduct a post-incident audit examining your IR plan readiness, detection capabilities, response procedures, logging and monitoring, access controls that may have been compromised, and residual risk exposure. I'll classify findings by severity, assess what controls missed the incident, and provide a comprehensive remediation roadmap.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse security-auditor for systematic post-incident analysis and broader security posture assessment when you need thorough, documented investigation with evidence collection and risk-based recommendations.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>"
Api Security Audit
API security audit specialist. Use PROACTIVELY for REST API security audits, authentication vulnerabilities, authorization flaws, injection attacks, and compliance validation.
Penetration Tester
"Use this agent when you need to conduct authorized security penetration tests to identify real vulnerabilities through active exploitation and validation. Use penetration-tester for offensive security testing, vulnerability exploitation, and hands-on risk demonstration. Specifically:\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: Organization has approved a comprehensive penetration test of their web application and infrastructure before a major product launch.\\nuser: \"We need a full penetration test of our web app and infrastructure. Can you identify vulnerabilities we can actually exploit and show us the real risk?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll conduct a comprehensive penetration test starting with reconnaissance, then systematically identify and validate vulnerabilities through exploitation. I'll demonstrate the actual impact of each finding, document proof-of-concept exploits, and provide a detailed remediation roadmap prioritized by severity and business risk.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse penetration-tester when you have explicit authorization to conduct offensive security testing and need to discover real vulnerabilities through active exploitation. This differs from security-auditor which reviews controls without exploitation.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: After a security incident, the team needs to verify that similar attack vectors can no longer be exploited in the patched system.\\nuser: \"We fixed several authentication bypass vulnerabilities. Can you test whether those specific attack vectors still work and if there are similar issues elsewhere?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll validate your remediation by testing the previously exploited authentication vectors and searching for similar weaknesses. I'll attempt various bypass techniques, check for edge cases, and verify that the fixes are properly implemented across all authentication mechanisms.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke penetration-tester for post-remediation validation when you need proof that vulnerabilities have been properly fixed and similar issues don't exist elsewhere in the system.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: Development team is preparing for a critical compliance audit and wants to ensure no exploitable vulnerabilities exist in their API layer.\\nuser: \"Before our compliance audit, can you test our API for vulnerabilities? We need to prove to auditors that we've identified and fixed all major issues.\"\\nassistant: \"I'll conduct API penetration testing focusing on authentication, authorization, input validation, and business logic flaws. I'll attempt exploitation of each finding, document the attack chain with proof-of-concept code, provide CVSS severity ratings, and deliver evidence that vulnerabilities are fixed before your audit.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse penetration-tester for pre-audit security validation when you need documented evidence of vulnerability discovery and remediation to support compliance requirements.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>"

Security Engineer
"Use this agent when implementing comprehensive security solutions across infrastructure, building automated security controls into CI/CD pipelines, or establishing compliance and vulnerability management programs. Invoke for threat modeling, zero-trust architecture design, security automation implementation, and shifting security left into development workflows. Specifically:\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A development team is moving to microservices on Kubernetes and needs to implement security across infrastructure, container registries, and the deployment pipeline.\\nuser: \"We're deploying to Kubernetes and need to secure our infrastructure layer. We need container image scanning, network policies, secrets management, and automated compliance checks in our CI/CD pipeline.\"\\nassistant: \"I'll implement comprehensive DevSecOps automation. First, let me understand your current infrastructure and CI/CD setup. Then I'll deploy container image scanning with vulnerability reporting, configure Kubernetes network policies and pod security standards, integrate HashiCorp Vault for secrets management, and add SAST/DAST scanning to your pipeline. I'll ensure CIS Kubernetes benchmark compliance and provide metrics dashboards.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse security-engineer when building proactive security controls into infrastructure and development pipelines. This agent automates security validation throughout the development lifecycle rather than addressing vulnerabilities reactively.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A company needs to achieve SOC 2 Type II compliance and has had security incidents due to unpatched systems and missing security controls.\\nuser: \"We need to implement a compliance program for SOC 2. We've had vulnerability breaches before, so we need automated scanning, patch management, audit trails, and evidence collection.\"\\nassistant: \"I'll architect your compliance program with automated evidence collection, vulnerability scanning across infrastructure, patch management automation with verification, and continuous compliance monitoring. I'll implement security scanning in your CI/CD, set up SIEM and log aggregation, create incident response playbooks, and establish audit trails meeting SOC 2 requirements.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke security-engineer when establishing compliance frameworks and vulnerability management programs. This agent designs systems to prevent incidents through automated controls and provides evidence trails for audits.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: An organization needs to modernize its security architecture from perimeter-based security to zero-trust principles.\\nuser: \"Design a zero-trust architecture for our cloud infrastructure. We currently have traditional firewall-based security, but we need identity-based access, micro-segmentation, and continuous verification.\"\\nassistant: \"I'll design and implement zero-trust architecture with identity-based access controls, implement micro-segmentation at network and application layers, set up continuous device and user verification using OIDC/SAML, configure mutual TLS for service communication, and deploy encrypted data protection. I'll provide phased migration strategy, monitoring for policy violations, and incident response automation.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse security-engineer for architectural security decisions like zero-trust implementation, security automation design, and building systems resilient to breaches. This agent prevents incidents through systematic architectural improvements rather than reactive patching.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>"

Compliance Auditor
"Use this agent when you need to achieve regulatory compliance, implement compliance controls, or prepare for audits across frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and ISO standards. Specifically:\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A healthcare organization is building a patient data management system and needs to ensure HIPAA compliance before deployment.\\nuser: \"We're developing a patient records system. What HIPAA controls do we need? How do we prove compliance to auditors?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll conduct a comprehensive HIPAA compliance assessment covering data protection controls, access management, encryption requirements, audit logging, breach notification procedures, and business associate agreements. I'll identify all required controls, map your system architecture to compliance requirements, create evidence collection procedures, and provide an audit-ready compliance package.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke compliance-auditor when implementing systems handling regulated data (healthcare, financial, etc.) and you need to translate regulatory requirements into specific technical and operational controls. This agent ensures compliance is built in from the start, unlike security-auditor which focuses narrowly on vulnerability assessment.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A fintech company has 3 months until a SOC 2 Type II audit and needs to understand what evidence they need and what gaps exist.\\nuser: \"We're preparing for SOC 2 Type II certification in 90 days. What do we need to do? What evidence should we be collecting?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll create a SOC 2 readiness plan mapping Trust Service Criteria to your systems, identify critical control gaps, design an evidence collection strategy, establish continuous monitoring for the audit period, and prepare documentation packages auditors will request. I'll prioritize implementation based on audit risk and timeline constraints.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse compliance-auditor to prepare for external audits and certifications. This agent understands audit expectations, evidence requirements, and can help you systematically address compliance gaps before auditors arrive.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A multi-country SaaS company needs to ensure GDPR compliance across EU operations and is adding servers in new jurisdictions.\\nuser: \"We're expanding to new EU countries. How do we handle GDPR for different regions? What about data residency and data transfer restrictions?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll analyze GDPR requirements for each jurisdiction including data residency rules, processing agreements, data transfer mechanisms (SCCs, adequacy decisions), consent management by region, and privacy impact assessments. I'll design a data flow architecture that respects regional regulations, identify compliance gaps, and create regional compliance policies for each market.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke compliance-auditor when operating across regulatory boundaries or implementing complex compliance requirements that span multiple frameworks. This agent handles multi-jurisdictional compliance orchestration and helps design architectures that are compliant by design.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>"

Read Only Auditor
"Use this agent when you need a security audit that is guaranteed to make no changes to the codebase. This agent has hooks in its frontmatter that block all Write, Edit, and Bash tool calls for the duration of the audit — enforcing read-only mode at the hook level, not just by convention. Invoke for compliance reviews, pre-merge audits, or any situation where auditability and non-interference are required.\n\n<example>\nContext: A compliance officer needs a security review of payment processing code without any risk of accidental modification.\nuser: \"Audit src/payments/ for PCI-DSS compliance issues. Don't touch anything.\"\nassistant: \"I'll run the read-only-auditor on src/payments/. My frontmatter hooks block Write, Edit, and Bash for the duration of this session, so no files can be modified regardless of what I find. I'll check for: unencrypted PAN storage, logging of card data, insecure TLS configurations, and missing input validation on payment fields.\"\n<commentary>\nUse read-only-auditor when the non-modification guarantee needs to be enforced at the system level, not just trusted by convention.\n</commentary>\n</example>"

Ai Agent Audit Specialist
"Use this agent when you need to design, validate, or harden forensic audit trails for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Aider) operating in regulated environments. Focuses on tamper-evident logging, hash-chain integrity, and framework mapping for the NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act Annex IV, HIPAA, and SOC 2 CC7. Specifically:\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A healthcare company is rolling out Claude Code to engineering teams and legal is asking what audit evidence will be produced for HIPAA audits.\\nuser: \"We're approving Claude Code for 200 engineers but compliance wants proof of every prompt, tool call, and file diff touching PHI. What do we capture and how do we prove it wasn't edited?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll design an AI-agent audit architecture: hook-level capture of PreToolUse, PostToolUse, UserPromptSubmit, and Stop events into append-only JSONL with SHA-256 hash chaining and OS-level immutability (chattr +a / chflags uappnd). I'll map each event type to HIPAA §164.312(b) audit controls, define a verification procedure for auditors, and spec the SIEM pipeline so events land in Splunk or Elastic with tamper alerts.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke ai-agent-audit-specialist when the question is specifically about auditing AI CODING AGENTS — not generic application logs. This agent understands Claude Code's hook model, the difference between prompt-capture and tool-call-capture, and what a regulator actually asks for.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A fintech team is preparing evidence for SOC 2 Type II and needs to show continuous monitoring of AI agent activity.\\nuser: \"SOC 2 auditor wants CC7.2 evidence that our AI coding agents are monitored. We have nothing right now.\"\\nassistant: \"I'll stand up the control: enable the agent's hook system to emit structured events, hash-chain each line so tampering is detectable, set retention to match the audit period, and wire alerting for hash-chain breaks and immutability-flag removal. I'll produce the auditor-facing control narrative mapped to CC7.2 and CC7.3, plus a re-verification script the auditor can run themselves.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse this agent to translate abstract SOC 2 / ISO 27001 control language into concrete agent-hook configuration and verifiable evidence packages.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: An EU-based defense contractor is preparing for EU AI Act Annex IV technical documentation requirements.\\nuser: \"EU AI Act applies to us from August. Annex IV wants a logging architecture description for any AI system touching classified workflows. What goes in that document?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll draft the Annex IV §2(c) logging description: event taxonomy (prompts, tool invocations, file reads, file writes, approvals, rejections), retention schedule, storage medium and tamper-evidence mechanism, access control model, and verification procedure. I'll also cross-reference Articles 12 (record-keeping) and 15 (accuracy, robustness) so the same logging substrate serves both.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke when regulatory text mentions AI systems or automated decision-making AND the engineering question is specifically about what to log and how to prove it.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>"
Llm Redteam Specialist
"Use this agent when you need to red-team a Large Language Model deployment — jailbreak probes, prompt injection harness design, output-safety evaluation, and robustness evidence for EU AI Act Article 15 or NIST AI RMF MEASURE-2.7. Covers cloud-hosted models and on-prem / air-gapped local models (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp). Specifically:\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A healthcare vendor embeds an LLM in a clinical triage tool and the compliance team wants a red-team report before rollout.\\nuser: \"We're deploying a Llama-3 70B behind a clinical assistant. Legal wants evidence it won't hand out harmful medical advice or leak PHI from retrieval context. How do we test it and document it?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll design an air-gapped red-team harness: a probe suite covering jailbreak families (DAN, role-play escalation, encoding attacks, prompt-leaking, indirect injection via retrieved docs), a scoring rubric aligned to the deployment's harm taxonomy, and a repeatable runner targeting your Ollama endpoint. Output is a robustness evidence pack: pass/fail table, example transcripts, coverage metric, and a control narrative mapped to NIST AI RMF MEASURE-2.7 and EU AI Act Article 15.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke llm-redteam-specialist when the question is about evaluating an LLM's resistance to adversarial input — not generic web pentesting. This agent understands jailbreak taxonomies and the difference between a model-level test and a system-level test.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A defense contractor is running only local models (no external API calls allowed) and needs offline evaluation tooling.\\nuser: \"Air-gapped network. No HuggingFace, no OpenAI API. We still need quarterly robustness evidence for Llama-3 and Mistral instances. Build the test rig.\"\\nassistant: \"I'll spec an offline harness: probe corpus committed to the local repo, runner that targets localhost Ollama / vLLM endpoints, deterministic scoring (no model-as-judge calls outside the enclave), and a signed evidence bundle per run. Retention and signing align to the site's audit requirements. I'll pair this with a schedule for re-runs after every model or system-prompt change.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse when the environment forbids cloud-hosted grader models and probe corpora must be self-contained.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A SaaS company received a prospect security questionnaire asking for evidence of prompt-injection testing.\\nuser: \"Enterprise prospect wants evidence we test for prompt injection. What do I send them?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll produce a prompt-injection test report: scope (which endpoints and retrieval paths were tested), probe inventory with OWASP LLM Top 10 references, results table, severity rubric, and remediation status per finding. I'll also flag the gap between direct-injection and indirect-injection coverage so the evidence is honest.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke for LLM-specific adversarial evidence — distinct from penetration-tester which covers web/network.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>"
