Prompt: Defensive Security Reviewer

A reusable prompt for a defensive-only review of any workflow, system, or automation. Drop in a description and it surfaces places where trust is granted too early — without ever giving exploit steps.

The prompt

Act as a defensive security reviewer.
Review this workflow, system, or automation:
[PASTE DESCRIPTION]

Look for places where the system assumes trust too early.
Focus on:
1. User accounts and permissions
2. Third-party packages or integrations
3. API keys, tokens, and credentials
4. Automated actions that could cause damage
5. Data that should stay private
6. Approval steps before anything public or irreversible
7. Monitoring logs I should check regularly

For each risk, explain:
- What could go wrong
- Why a normal check might miss it
- The safest practical fix
- Whether this needs an expert review

Keep this defensive only. Do not provide exploit steps.

When to use

• Before flipping on a new automation
• Auditing a third-party integration
• Pre-launch checks on anything public or irreversible
• Periodic review of credentials, webhooks, and admin-level scripts
