Security Review (waybarrios) vs Security Reviewer (jeffallan)
Security Review (waybarrios) and Security Reviewer (jeffallan) are both Security skills, so an agent choosing between them is matching on descriptions that overlap. Here is where they actually diverge.
Security Review
waybarrios/opencode-power-pack
Inspects the unmerged commits on a branch and calls out concrete security problems that show realistic exploitation paths, so reviewers can decide whether changes are safe to merge. Unlike broader security-audit or SAST-style tools, it intentionally skips stylistic, architecture, dependency-wide, or general code-review concerns and concentrates only on high-confidence, actionable vulnerabilities in the pending diff.
2 scenarios in the bank answer to it
Security Reviewer
jeffallan
Performs end-to-end security examinations of code, infrastructure, dependencies and secrets and compiles a prioritized audit report that assigns severity to each finding and lists concrete remediation steps. Unlike tools that only add inline comments, check authentication patterns, or scan a branch diff, this one is aimed at producing a compliance-aware, prioritized audit document rather than a quick pre-merge or single-file review.

What is the difference between Security Review (waybarrios) and Security Reviewer (jeffallan)?

Should I use Security Review (waybarrios) or Security Reviewer?
The clearest answer is a situation each one is unambiguously right for. Both of these are drawn from the game's question bank.
Reach for Security Review (waybarrios) when
There is a pull request waiting and the release is in an hour. I do not want a report about the whole repo — just tell me whether anything in THESE changes is actually exploitable.
All four are security reviewers, so the question is scope. waybarrios reads only the unmerged commits on the branch and reports concrete exploitation paths, which is precisely a pre-merge decision. Sentry's scans project source and jeffallan produces a prioritised whole-system audit — both answer a bigger question than the one asked, and both cost more than an hour. affaan-m is design-time guidance for code you have not written yet, which is the wrong direction entirely once the PR exists.
Reach for Security Reviewer when
An auditor is coming and wants one document that grades the whole system — app code, servers, third-party libraries, leaked secrets — with a severity on every issue and a fix for each, ranked worst-first.
security-reviewer-jeffallan produces the end-to-end, severity-ranked audit document spanning code, infrastructure, dependencies and secrets. security-review-owasp and security-review-waybarrios only look at a diff or branch for exploits; security-review-affaan-m is build-time guidance, not an audit. The tell is a ranked document across the whole system.
What they have in common
Both are filed under Security, the axis along which they collide. That shared ground is what makes an agent pick between them on description alone — and what makes it pick wrong.
