Install target

Live repository

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 kunhai-88/skills at 2742b5f777.

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

1 file, 147 lines
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

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.
