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 nickcrew/claude-ctx-plugin at bb47af79ad.

    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 information and guidance related to the OWASP Top 10 web application security risks. It can identify potential vulnerabilities based on descriptions of code or system architecture, and suggest remediation strategies aligned with OWASP recommendations. The skill aims to help developers and security professionals understand and mitigate common web application threats.

When to use it

  • Code Review: Analyze snippets of code for potential vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP Top 10.
  • Architecture Assessment: Evaluate a system's architecture to identify areas susceptible to attacks like SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS).
  • Security Training: Use as an educational tool to learn about common web application security risks and best practices.
  • Vulnerability Remediation: Get suggestions for fixing identified vulnerabilities based on OWASP guidelines.

Key capabilities

  • Identification of OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
  • Remediation recommendations
  • Explanation of vulnerability types
  • Alignment with OWASP standards

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this code snippet for SQL injection vulnerabilities: [code]"
  • "How does cross-site scripting (XSS) work, and how can I prevent it?"
  • "What are the best practices for preventing broken authentication in a web application?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on providing clear and detailed descriptions of code or system architecture. It is not a substitute for comprehensive security testing and should be used as part of a broader security strategy.
