Your Name 2dabf8ef03 Phase 1-3: Add memory, skills, and improvement systems
- memory/: cross-session project memory with decisions, lessons, failures,
  architecture, and sessions categories. Each has format templates and
  lifecycle documentation.
- skills/: 12 reusable specialized methodologies (tdd, systematic-debugging,
  architecture-design, code-review, security-review, repository-analysis,
  failure-analysis, refactoring, test-analysis, incident-investigation,
  browser-automation, research). Each has frontmatter and methodology sections.
- improvements/: proposal-based improvement system requiring human approval.
- scripts/memory-lifecycle.sh: deterministic memory operations (recall, store,
  list, search, sessions, cleanup).
- scripts/test-memory-system.sh: 12 structural tests for all new systems.
- orchestrator.md: added Memory Recall stage, Learning and Memory Storage
  stage, Improvement Proposals workflow, memory/skills rules, and 3 new
  actions (A23-A27) to the action catalog. Updated behavioral acceptance test
  and state separation model.
- All 12 subagents: added Memory & Skills Awareness sections with recall
  and store instructions.
- docs/AGENT_ARCHITECTURE.md: documented memory, skills, and improvements
  systems (sections 12-14). Updated action count (27), state model, and
  remaining weaknesses.
- README.md: documented new systems, updated repository layout, added
  test-memory-system.sh documentation.

All 39 tests pass (16 architecture + 12 memory + 11 bootstrap).

security-review Security review methodology — identifying and assessing security implications of changes 1.0 Reviewer implementation completed, scope understood

Security Review

When to use this skill

  • Changes involving authentication, authorization, or access control
  • Changes to data handling, storage, or transmission
  • Changes to external API interactions
  • Changes to shell execution or system commands
  • Any change where security implications are uncertain

Core methodology

IDENTIFY CHANGE → ASSESS ATTACK SURFACE → CHECK VALIDATION → CHECK AUTH → CHECK DATA → CHECK DEPS → VERDICT

Security review checklist

Input validation

  • All external inputs validated and sanitized
  • No SQL injection, command injection, or path traversal
  • File uploads validated (type, size, content)

Authentication & authorization

  • Authentication checks are present and correct
  • Authorization checks enforce least privilege
  • No bypasses or backdoors

Data protection

  • Sensitive data is not logged or exposed
  • Secrets are not hardcoded
  • Data at rest and in transit is protected appropriately

Error handling

  • Errors do not leak sensitive information
  • Stack traces are not exposed to users
  • Graceful degradation on security failures

Dependencies

  • Dependencies are from trusted sources
  • No known vulnerabilities in dependencies
  • Dependency versions are pinned

Shell & system

  • Shell commands use safe execution patterns
  • File permissions are appropriate
  • Temporary files are handled securely

Common pitfalls

  • Assuming "it's internal" means "it's safe"
  • Trusting user input without validation
  • Hardcoding credentials (even "temporary" ones)
  • Logging sensitive data
  • Not considering the attack surface

Exit criteria

  • All checklist items addressed
  • Findings categorized: CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW / INFO
  • Risk assessment for each finding
  • Remediation plan for non-INFO findings
