Live repository

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

Nobody has reviewed this code. TrustedSkills indexes and links skills; it does not audit, run or scan them. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent — read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

We could not read this skill's source, so none of the checks below were run.

Not scanned. none of the 457 skills in the repository match this slug — it was most likely renamed or removed upstream after the registry indexed it Source recorded as davila7/claude-code-templates.
This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The security-best-practices skill provides a framework for AI agents to generate code and configurations that adhere to industry-standard security protocols. It ensures outputs minimize vulnerabilities by integrating defensive coding patterns and risk mitigation strategies directly into the development workflow.

When to use it

  • Generating authentication logic or API endpoints that require strict input validation and secure handling of sensitive data.
  • Reviewing existing code snippets for potential injection flaws, weak encryption implementations, or hardcoded credentials.
  • Creating infrastructure-as-code templates (e.g., Terraform, Kubernetes) that enforce network segmentation and least-privilege access controls.
  • Developing error handling routines that prevent information leakage without exposing stack traces to end-users.

Key capabilities

  • Enforces secure coding standards across multiple programming languages.
  • Identifies and suggests fixes for common vulnerability patterns like SQL injection and XSS.
  • Generates configurations that prioritize data integrity and confidentiality.
  • Adapts security measures based on the specific context of the application being built.

Example prompts

  • "Write a Python function to handle user login that uses secure password hashing and prevents brute-force attacks."
  • "Review this Node.js API route for security vulnerabilities and suggest improvements for input sanitization."
  • "Generate a Kubernetes deployment manifest that restricts pod network access and disables root privileges."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is designed to augment human expertise, not replace it; always validate generated security code against your specific compliance requirements. While it reduces common risks, complex threat modeling may still require manual review by a dedicated security engineer.
