How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 167 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 40
Before ANY production deployment, confirm ALL of the following:
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 167 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Security Review Skill
Ensures all code follows security best practices and identifies potential vulnerabilities.
When to Activate
- Implementing authentication or authorization
- Handling user input or file uploads
- Creating new API endpoints
- Working with secrets or credentials
- Implementing payment features
- Storing or transmitting sensitive data
- Integrating third-party APIs
Security Checklist Categories
Review each category. See references/vulnerability-patterns.md for WRONG/CORRECT code examples.
- Secrets Management -- No hardcoded secrets; all in env vars;
.env*gitignored - Input Validation -- Schema validation; file upload size/type/extension checks
- SQL Injection -- Parameterized queries only; no string concatenation
- Auth & Authorization -- httpOnly cookies; RBAC; row-level/object-level authorization where needed
- XSS Prevention -- DOMPurify for user HTML; CSP headers configured
- CSRF Protection -- CSRF tokens on state-changing ops; SameSite=Strict cookies
- Rate Limiting -- All endpoints rate-limited; stricter on expensive operations
- Data Exposure -- No secrets in logs; generic error messages to users
- High-Risk Integrations -- Payments, wallets, third-party APIs, and webhooks validated when present
- Dependencies --
npm auditclean; lock files committed; Dependabot enabled

Security is not optional. One vulnerability can compromise the entire platform. When in doubt, err on the side of caution.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
