Guideline for designing, implementing, and verifying secure APIs following OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023) best practices. Use when the user wants to: (1) review API code or design for security vulnerabilities, (2) design a secure REST, GraphQL, or gRPC API architecture, (3) implement API authentication and authorization (OAuth2, JWT, API keys, mTLS), (4) configure rate limiting, input validation, or CORS, (5) audit API endpoints for BOLA, BFLA, or mass assignment vulnerabilities, (6) create API security checklists or verification plans, (7) fix API security bugs or harden existing APIs, (8) set up API security testing (OWASP ZAP, Schemathesis, Burp Suite), or (9) handle any API security concern including SSRF prevention, resource consumption limits, business flow protection, API inventory management, and secure third-party API consumption.
Analyze REST/RPC/API security design — use for BOLA/BFLA, mass assignment, auth on endpoints, rate limits, inventory gaps, and unsafe outbound API consumption (OWASP API Top 10 2023).
Comprehensive Magento 2 security scanning skill that checks for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, outdated dependencies, security patches, and compliance with security best practices.
Apply the OWASP API Security Top 10 to REST and GraphQL endpoints. Covers broken object-level authorization (BOLA), mass assignment, excessive data exposure, unrestricted resource consumption, SSRF, broken function-level authorization, and GraphQL depth and complexity limits. Invoke when designing a new API, reviewing one before scaling, or after API abuse (scraping, account takeover).
Harden iOS and macOS apps against the platform-specific failure modes. Covers Keychain accessibility tiers, App Transport Security, certificate pinning tradeoffs, file protection classes, biometric authentication, jailbreak detection as a signal rather than a defense, and third-party SDK review. Invoke when shipping a native app that holds credentials, before App Store submission, or after a mobile security advisory.
Audit Model Context Protocol server configurations and apply least-privilege scoping. Covers MCP inventory, capability risk-tiering, secret detection in configuration, malicious or compromised package indicators, and the lifecycle from install through rotation to revocation. Invoke before granting an MCP write access to production, after an MCP security advisory, or as periodic audit.
Secure the trust boundaries RAG adds beyond a plain LLM app. Covers retrieval-time document authorization, tenant isolation in vector databases, indirect injection via retrieved content, ingestion poisoning, citation and embedding leakage, stale-permission drift, and grounding integrity. Invoke when building or reviewing a RAG feature, when indexing access-controlled or multi-tenant corpora, or after a cross-tenant leak or injection incident.
Security best practices and vulnerability prevention for Golang — injection (SQL, command, XSS), cryptography, path traversal, SSRF and HTTP security headers, cookies, secrets management, memory safety, PII in logs, STRIDE/DREAD threat modeling, plus `gosec` SAST, race detection, and fuzz testing. Apply when writing, reviewing, or auditing Go code for security, or when touching crypto, file or network I/O, secrets, user input, or authentication. Not for non-exploitable defensive bugs such as nil panics or slice aliasing (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-safety` skill), dependency vulnerability scanning with govulncheck (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-dependency-management` skill), or wiring security scanners into CI pipelines (→ See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-continuous-integration` skill).
Security audit of a codebase — web apps, APIs, services, CLI tools, libraries, daemons, and more. Use when asked to find security bugs, do a security review, audit for vulnerabilities, or pen-test the code. Focuses on exploitable issues with real impact, not theoretical concerns or industry-standard behavior.
Covers AWS security services and workflows — Security Hub V2 (OCSF) findings, connectors, aggregators, automation rules, and security posture summaries; Security Hub CSPM (V1/ASFF) controls and compliance standards; GuardDuty threat findings; Inspector vulnerability findings; Macie sensitive data findings; Detective investigation; and Security Lake configuration and data aggregation. Applicable when questions involve security posture, Exposure findings, CSPM failed controls, threat findings, vulnerability findings, sensitive data findings, automation rules, or cross-service security configuration across AWS environments. Procedures use standard AWS CLI syntax and work with or without the AWS MCP server.
Use when scanning Salesforce org Claude Code configuration for security vulnerabilities, deploy misconfigurations, and injection risks in CLAUDE.md, hooks, and MCP servers. Do NOT use for Apex code review — use sf-security.
A folder with a SKILL.md file: a name, a description of when to use it, and instructions. Claude loads a skill only when the task matches its description.
How do I use one I find here?
Copy the folder into your project's .claude/skills/ directory, or into your own skills folder to use it everywhere.
What do the warnings mean?
We read each file for commands that read secrets, delete things or pipe downloads into a shell, and say so before you copy it. No warning is not a promise that a file is safe.
Which skills worked for people?
Open a skill to see its discussion. Reports from people and their agents are coming.
