 The OWASP Top 10:2021 is the authoritative awareness document for web application security. It represents broad consensus on the most critical security risks to web applications, derived from CWE data mapped across hundreds of organizations. Each category aggregates multiple CWEs under a unifying risk theme.
 
-This skill operationalizes all ten categories into a repeatable, structured review process suitable for AI-assisted code analysis. Findings are mapped to specific CWEs, rated by severity, and paired with actionable remediation steps.
+This skill operationalizes all ten categories into a repeatable, structured review process suitable for AI-assisted code reviews. It includes evidence fields for:
 
-## Process
+* Cookie attributes (e.g., Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite)
+* Token storage location (e.g., localStorage, sessionStorage, cookies)
+* Rotation and revocation of tokens and cookies
+* CSRF binding and protection
+* Session fixation testing and prevention
 
-### Step 1 — Scope and Inventory
+## Review Checklist
 
-1. Use `Glob` to enumerate the project structure: source files, configuration files, dependency manifests, and infrastructure-as-code templates.
-2. Identify the technology stack: language, framework, template engine, ORM, authentication library, and deployment target.
-3. Catalog entry points: routes, controllers, API endpoints, middleware chains, and static asset serving.
-4. Note dependency manifests (`package.json`, `requirements.txt`, `pom.xml`, `Gemfile.lock`, `go.sum`, etc.) for component analysis.
+The following checklist items are used to evaluate the security of a web application:
 
-### Step 2 — Category-by-Category Analysis
+1. **A01:2021 - Broken Access Control**: Verify that access controls are properly implemented and enforced.
+2. **A02:2021 - Cryptographic Failures**: Ensure that cryptographic mechanisms are properly used and configured.
+3. **A03:2021 - Injection**: Verify that user input is properly sanitized and validated to prevent injection attacks.
+4. **A04:2021 - Insecure Design**: Evaluate the design of the web application for security flaws and weaknesses.
+5. **A05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration**: Verify that the web application is properly configured and secured.
+6. **A06:2021 - Vulnerable and Outdated Components**: Ensure that all components and dependencies are up-to-date and secure.
+7. **A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures**: Verify that identification and authentication mechanisms are properly implemented and secured.
+8. **A08:2021 - Software and Data Integrity Failures**: Ensure that software and data integrity are properly maintained and secured.
+9. **A09:2021 - Security Logging and Monitoring Failures**: Verify that security logging and monitoring are properly implemented and configured.
+10. **A10:2021 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)**: Ensure that SSRF attacks are properly prevented and mitigated.
 
-Evaluate the codebase against each of the ten categories below. For every category, search for the listed detection patterns using `Grep` and `Read`, then record findings.

Requesting changes.

This PR should not be accepted as written. It turns a detailed OWASP Top 10 web review skill into a short checklist, deleting the bulk of the operational guidance that reviewers need.

What I checked:

• Changed file: skills/appsec/owasp-top-10-web/SKILL.md.
• Diff size: 28 additions, 665 deletions.
• The patch removes the original scope/inventory workflow, category-by-category review process, precision requirements for false-positive reduction, per-category detection patterns, CWE mappings, mitigations, findings verification checklist, output format, framework reference table, common pitfalls, prompt-injection safety notice, and source references.
• The replacement adds useful cookie/session evidence words, but it no longer tells reviewers how to analyze A01-A10 with concrete patterns, how to avoid speculative findings, how to classify evidence, or how to preserve the required output shape.

Issue #1572 asks for cookie/session storage and browser token evidence gates. That should be an additive section under A07/session handling or a supporting gate file, preserving the existing Top 10 skill. It should not replace the entire review process with a much thinner checklist.

There is also a duplication signal: a later comment says PR #1613 implemented this as skills/appsec/owasp-top-10-web/gates/cookie-session-storage-gate.md. Unless this PR is rewritten to preserve the original skill and add distinct value beyond that gate-file implementation, the maintainable path is to close this PR or ask for a focused additive patch.
