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 academind/ai-config at d7ca62f6a4.

    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 implement secure web development practices, treating security as a core requirement from the outset. It emphasizes assuming hostile input and untrusted environments, guiding the agent to avoid common vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and insecure authentication methods. The skill promotes best practices for data handling, dependency management, and respecting browser security boundaries.

When to use it

  • When developing web applications or user interfaces where security is paramount.
  • To ensure proper input validation and sanitization within a codebase.
  • For implementing secure authentication and authorization workflows.
  • When reviewing existing code for potential security vulnerabilities.
  • To guide the selection of secure default configurations over flexible, but potentially insecure, options.

Key capabilities

  • Provides guidance on preventing XSS and SQL injection attacks.
  • Offers advice on secure authentication and authorization practices (e.g., using HTTP-only cookies).
  • Promotes respecting browser security APIs like CORS and CSP.
  • Emphasizes minimizing data exposure and avoiding insecure storage of secrets.
  • Advises on managing dependencies and treating third-party code with caution.

Example prompts

  • "How can I prevent SQL injection in this form submission?"
  • "What's the best way to store authentication tokens securely in a web application?"
  • "Review this JavaScript code for potential XSS vulnerabilities."

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill focuses on preventative measures and secure coding practices, not vulnerability scanning or penetration testing.
  • Always prioritize validation and sanitization of user input at all boundaries.
  • Be mindful of Content Security Policy (CSP) when using dynamic content; avoid inline scripts and styles where possible.
