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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.

    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 erichowens/some_claude_skills at 6713fc7a64.

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

About this skill

What it does

The Security Auditor skill performs comprehensive security scanning of codebases to identify potential vulnerabilities and misconfigurations before they lead to incidents. It focuses on providing actionable findings with remediation guidance, covering dependency vulnerability scanning, secret/credential leak detection, and static application security testing (SAST) based on the OWASP Top 10. This is a coding assistant skill designed for developers and security teams.

When to use it

  • Pre-deployment security audits: Before releasing new code or features.
  • Dependency vulnerability scanning: Regularly check project dependencies for known vulnerabilities.
  • Secret/credential leak detection: Identify accidentally committed sensitive information like API keys or passwords.
  • Pre-PR security reviews: Integrate into the pull request workflow to catch issues early.
  • Security posture reports: Generate summaries of identified risks for stakeholders.

Key capabilities

  • Dependency Scanning: Supports npm, yarn, pip, and cargo package managers, reporting vulnerabilities with severity levels (critical, high, moderate, low).
  • Secret Detection: Identifies potential secrets using pattern matching and entropy analysis, including API keys, AWS credentials, private keys, JWT tokens, and connection strings. Includes a decision tree for handling false positives.
  • OWASP Top 10 Static Analysis: Checks code against the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, looking for patterns like missing authentication checks, weak cryptographic algorithms, injection flaws, and insecure design elements.

Example prompts

  • "Run a full security audit on this project."
  • "Scan for any leaked secrets in this codebase."
  • "Check this file for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill is designed for code-level SAST and does not handle runtime security, network security, or compliance requirements (SOC2/HIPAA/PCI).
  • The skill uses pattern matching which can lead to false positives. Review findings carefully, especially those flagged as high confidence.
  • For critical severity vulnerabilities, immediate remediation and deployment blocking are recommended.
