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 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.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: fonts.gstatic.com.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    fonts.gstatic.comundeclared

    What it found

    • software-engineering/security-practices/templates/helmet-config.js:22contacts fonts.gstatic.com
      fontSrc: ["'self'", 'https://fonts.gstatic.com'],

  • 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 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 miles990/claude-software-skills at 73632f218e.

    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 provides guidance on secure coding practices. It can help identify potential vulnerabilities in code, suggest remediation steps based on common security principles, and ensure adherence to industry best practices for software development. The skill aims to improve the overall security posture of applications by proactively addressing risks during the development lifecycle.

When to use it

  • Code Review: Use this skill when reviewing existing codebases to identify potential security flaws.
  • New Development: Integrate this skill into the development process for new projects to build secure software from the ground up.
  • Security Audits: Employ this skill as part of a broader security audit to assess and improve application security.
  • Training & Education: Utilize it to educate developers on secure coding practices and common vulnerabilities.

Key capabilities

  • Vulnerability identification
  • Remediation suggestions
  • Adherence to industry best practices
  • Secure coding guidance

Example prompts

  • "Review this Python code snippet for potential security vulnerabilities: [code]"
  • "What are the most common SQL injection attacks and how can I prevent them?"
  • "Suggest secure alternatives to using eval() in JavaScript."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is best used with clear, well-formatted code. While it can identify potential issues, it's not a substitute for thorough security testing and expert review.
