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 nikolovlazar/dotfiles at 9b54ef0a45.

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

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 on implementing secure authentication practices. It focuses on best practices for protecting user credentials and systems from unauthorized access, covering topics like password storage, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and session management. The goal is to enhance the overall security posture of applications and services by adhering to industry-standard recommendations.

When to use it

  • Designing a new application: Integrate these best practices during the initial development phase to build secure foundations from the start.
  • Auditing existing authentication systems: Identify vulnerabilities and areas for improvement in current authentication workflows.
  • Responding to security incidents: Implement recommended measures after a breach or suspected compromise to prevent recurrence.
  • Improving developer training: Educate developers on secure coding practices related to authentication.

Key capabilities

  • Password storage best practices
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) implementation guidance
  • Secure session management techniques
  • Industry standard recommendations for authentication security

Example prompts

  • "What are the best ways to securely store user passwords?"
  • "How can I implement multi-factor authentication in my application?"
  • "Give me a checklist of secure session management practices."

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes some basic understanding of web development and security concepts. While it provides guidance, implementing these recommendations may require adjustments based on the specific technology stack and environment.
