About This Skill
What it does
The security-headers-generator skill creates HTTP response headers to enhance the security of web applications. It allows you to generate common security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) based on your specific needs. This helps protect against various attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and clickjacking.
When to use it
- Securing a new web application: Generate headers from the start to establish a secure baseline.
- Hardening an existing website: Quickly implement security best practices without manual configuration.
- Testing security configurations: Generate different header combinations to evaluate their impact on your site.
- Automating security deployments: Integrate into CI/CD pipelines for consistent header application.
Key capabilities
- Generates common HTTP security headers.
- Supports Content Security Policy (CSP).
- Creates X-Content-Type-Options headers.
- Implements Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS).
Example prompts
- "Generate security headers for a website using CSP level 2 and HSTS preload."
- "Create HTTP headers to prevent MIME sniffing."
- "Give me the recommended security headers for a site serving static assets over HTTPS."
Tips & gotchas
- Carefully review generated headers before deployment, as incorrect configurations can break functionality.
- Understand the implications of each header and test thoroughly in a staging environment first.
