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 analyzes text to identify potential security vulnerabilities and risks. It can assess code snippets, configuration files, or documentation for common weaknesses like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure authentication practices. The goal is to provide a preliminary assessment of security posture before more in-depth analysis.
When to use it
- Code Review: Quickly scan newly written code for potential vulnerabilities during development.
- Configuration Auditing: Evaluate configuration files (e.g., cloud infrastructure settings) for misconfigurations that could lead to breaches.
- Documentation Analysis: Identify security-related gaps or inaccuracies in technical documentation.
- Security Awareness Training: Use it as a tool to demonstrate common vulnerabilities and educate team members.
Key capabilities
- Vulnerability Identification: Detects various types of security flaws.
- Risk Assessment: Provides an initial assessment of the severity of identified risks.
- Text Analysis: Processes code, configuration files, and documentation.
- Security Best Practices: Checks against established security guidelines.
Example prompts
- "Analyze this Python script for potential SQL injection vulnerabilities."
- "Review this AWS CloudFormation template for common misconfigurations."
- "Can you find any insecure authentication practices in this API documentation?"
Tips & gotchas
This skill provides a preliminary assessment and should not replace thorough manual security reviews or penetration testing. The accuracy of the analysis depends on the clarity and completeness of the input text.
