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 harperaa/secure-claude-skills at c0b4abbf50.

    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 allows an AI agent to verify the security of code or configurations. It can analyze provided text for common vulnerabilities, identify potential risks based on established security best practices, and provide recommendations for remediation. The skill aims to improve overall system security through automated checks.

When to use it

  • Code Review: Before deploying new code, have the agent scan it for potential security flaws.
  • Configuration Auditing: Verify that configuration files adhere to secure settings and avoid common misconfigurations.
  • Security Awareness Training: Use the skill to demonstrate vulnerabilities and educate team members on secure coding practices.
  • Automated Security Checks: Integrate into CI/CD pipelines for continuous security assessment.

Key capabilities

  • Vulnerability identification
  • Risk assessment based on best practices
  • Remediation recommendations
  • Code analysis
  • Configuration auditing

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this Python code snippet for potential SQL injection vulnerabilities: [code]"
  • "Review this AWS S3 bucket policy and identify any security risks: [policy]"
  • “Can you find common security flaws in this configuration file? [configuration file]”

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on the clarity and completeness of the input provided. It is not a replacement for comprehensive manual security audits, but rather a valuable tool to augment them.
