Security

What it does

This skill provides comprehensive security reviews specifically tailored for applications built on Apple platforms (iOS, macOS, and watchOS). It analyzes code to identify vulnerabilities and suggests secure implementation patterns related to storage, authentication, and network communication. The review process involves identifying the app's security surface, examining secure storage practices, assessing biometric authentication implementations, and evaluating network security configurations.

When to use it

This skill is helpful in these scenarios:

• When you need a "security review" or "security audit" of your Apple platform application.
• You are implementing "secure storage" or using the Keychain for sensitive data.
• Your app utilizes "Face ID," "Touch ID," or other biometric authentication methods.
• You're dealing with "certificate pinning" or require guidance on "network security."
• You need to understand and implement "Data Protection" or encryption strategies.

Key capabilities

• Security Surface Identification: Uses grep commands to locate code related to security features (e.g., Keychain, biometric authentication, network communication).
• Secure Storage Review: Evaluates Keychain usage, Data Protection classes, and Secure Enclave integration for key storage.
• Authentication Review: Examines Face ID/Touch ID implementation, fallback mechanisms, and LAContext configuration.
• Network Security Review: Assesses App Transport Security (ATS) configuration, certificate pinning, and TLS best practices.
• Platform-Specific Guidance: Provides tailored security recommendations for iOS, macOS, and watchOS based on their unique characteristics.
• Structured Reporting: Presents findings with a clear summary table indicating status (✅/⚠️/❌) for Secure Storage, Authentication, Network Security, and Platform Security, along with detailed descriptions of critical, high, and medium priority vulnerabilities.

Example prompts

• "Can you perform a security review on my iOS app?"
• "How should I securely store credentials in my macOS application using the Keychain?"
• "What are the best practices for implementing Face ID authentication in my watchOS app?"
• “Review my code for network security vulnerabilities related to certificate pinning.”

Tips & gotchas

• This skill is specifically designed for applications targeting iOS, macOS, and watchOS.
• The review process relies on grep commands; the accuracy depends on the codebase's structure and coding practices.
• To get the most out of this skill, provide clear context about your application’s functionality and sensitive data handling.
