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.
Pinned to a commit: passed

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.
