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 tech-leads-club/agent-skills at 6df68d5202.

    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 helps AI agents identify and apply security best practices when working with specific programming languages and frameworks. It analyzes the project context to determine relevant technologies, then consults its internal reference directory for applicable security guidelines. The skill can be used to write secure code from the start, passively detect vulnerabilities, or generate detailed vulnerability reports with suggested fixes.

When to use it

  • When starting a new software project and wanting to ensure secure coding practices from the beginning.
  • While writing code in an existing project to proactively identify potential security flaws.
  • To request a comprehensive security report for an existing codebase, highlighting vulnerabilities and suggesting remediation steps.
  • When developing web applications that include both frontend and backend components.

Key capabilities

  • Language & Framework Identification: Automatically detects the programming languages and frameworks used in a project's context.
  • Reference Directory Lookup: Accesses a directory of security best practices documentation, organized by language, framework, and stack.
  • Secure Code Generation: Writes code that adheres to identified security guidelines.
  • Passive Vulnerability Detection: Identifies critical vulnerabilities or deviations from secure defaults while coding.
  • Vulnerability Reporting: Generates prioritized reports detailing security shortcomings with severity and urgency classifications, and offers to implement fixes.

Example prompts

  • "What are the security best practices for developing a React frontend application?"
  • "Can you review this code snippet for potential vulnerabilities in Python?"
  • "Generate a security report for our Node.js backend."

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill relies on identifying the correct languages and frameworks being used; ensure accurate identification for optimal results.
  • If no specific documentation is found, the skill will attempt to leverage general knowledge of secure coding practices.
