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 travisjneuman/.claude at 050878886e.

    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 provides application security expertise, enabling AI agents to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in software applications. It can analyze code for common security flaws, suggest remediation strategies based on industry best practices (like OWASP), and help ensure secure development lifecycles. The skill aims to improve the overall security posture of applications by proactively addressing potential risks.

When to use it

  • Code Review: Have the agent review a codebase for potential vulnerabilities before deployment.
  • Security Audits: Use the agent to assist in performing regular application security audits.
  • Secure Development Practices: Integrate the skill into development workflows to ensure secure coding practices are followed.
  • Vulnerability Remediation: When a vulnerability is identified, use the agent to suggest and implement fixes.

Key capabilities

  • Vulnerability identification
  • Remediation suggestions (based on OWASP)
  • Secure Development Lifecycle support
  • Code analysis for security flaws

Example prompts

  • "Review this Python code snippet for potential SQL injection vulnerabilities."
  • "Suggest remediations for the XSS vulnerability found in this JavaScript file."
  • "What are some common application security risks I should be aware of when developing a REST API?"

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on providing clear and concise code snippets or descriptions of vulnerabilities. It is not a replacement for comprehensive penetration testing but can significantly enhance the development process.
