From the source SKILL.md

Pattern: Knowledge. The decision rule this category turns on: a version string is an attacker-controlled claim, not a security property — "v1.0.1" looks like a patch and can just as easily carry a new payload, because nothing about a semver bump is cryptographically meaningful on its own. scripts/ ships no detector for this category and the section below explains why that is the finished state; frozen scenario tiers live in coverage-matrix.md.

What this skill does

ast07-update-drift is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the web-security sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ast07/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
