Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides guidance and recommendations for implementing secure authentication practices. It helps ensure user credentials are protected, minimizes vulnerabilities to common attacks like brute force or credential stuffing, and aligns with industry best practices. The skill aims to improve overall application security by focusing on robust authentication mechanisms.
When to use it
- When designing a new application requiring user accounts and login functionality.
- During code reviews for applications handling sensitive user data.
- To audit existing authentication systems and identify potential weaknesses.
- When migrating an application to more secure authentication methods (e.g., from basic auth to OAuth).
Key capabilities
- Provides recommendations on password storage best practices.
- Offers guidance on multi-factor authentication implementation.
- Suggests mitigation strategies for common authentication attacks.
- Advises on secure session management techniques.
Example prompts
- "What are the best practices for securely storing user passwords?"
- "How can I implement multi-factor authentication in my application?"
- "Can you review this code snippet and identify any potential authentication vulnerabilities?"
Tips & gotchas
This skill assumes a basic understanding of authentication concepts. While it provides guidance, implementing these recommendations may require specialized security expertise or tools.
