Models already know what SQL injection and XSS are. They don't need tutorials - they need a checklist to ensure nothing is missed.

Before: 23 individual pattern files (~100KB total)
After: 1 focused checklist (~4KB)

Same coverage, better signal-to-noise ratio for review context.

Context: Aaron asked "Are the security patterns really things that a model wouldn't know? Or is it the checklist that's helpful?" - good point. The checklist format is the actual value.
