Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned patricio0312rev/skills at 79ea6af485.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill, Api Security Hardener, helps implement comprehensive security measures for production APIs. It focuses on securing API workflows by providing tools and schemas for input validation, authentication, authorization, rate limiting, setting security headers, and logging & monitoring to detect potential threats. The skill utilizes Zod schema validation for robust data sanitization and offers middleware for validating request bodies, query parameters, and route parameters.

When to use it

  • When building new APIs that require strong input validation to prevent vulnerabilities.
  • To enhance the security of existing APIs by implementing authentication and authorization controls.
  • For protecting APIs from abuse through rate limiting mechanisms.
  • When needing to sanitize HTML content within API requests.
  • To ensure consistent data formats and enforce business rules via Zod schemas.

Key capabilities

  • Input Validation: Uses Zod schema validation for sanitizing and validating input data. Includes pre-built schemas for email, password, UUIDs, pagination, user creation/updates, and sanitized strings.
  • Authentication: Enables secure identity verification within API workflows (specific implementation details not provided).
  • Authorization: Supports role-based access control to restrict API access (implementation details not provided).
  • Rate Limiting: Helps prevent abuse by implementing rate limiting mechanisms (implementation details not provided).
  • Security Headers: Allows for setting HTTP headers to enhance security.
  • Logging & Monitoring: Facilitates threat detection through logging and monitoring of API activity.
  • Validation Middleware: Provides middleware functionality for validating request bodies, query parameters, and route parameters using Zod schemas.

Example prompts

  • "Apply the email schema validation to the user creation endpoint."
  • "Implement rate limiting on the /products endpoint."
  • "Sanitize HTML content from the comment input field."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with Zod schema definition and implementation.
  • The skill provides schemas and middleware; specific authentication, authorization, and rate-limiting implementations are not included.
  • To get the most out of this skill, define clear Zod schemas that accurately represent your API's expected data formats and constraints.
