What it does

Once installed, the agent reviews code, designs and flows through a security lens, using the OWASP Top 10, STRIDE threat modeling and common secure-coding rules. It can point out likely flaws such as injection, broken authorization (IDOR), weak password hashing or exposed error details, and suggest fixes. It also recommends tools like Semgrep, CodeQL, OWASP ZAP and npm audit, but this file is only a set of written guidelines and does not itself run any scans.

Great for

  • Developers who want a second pair of eyes on a feature or pull request for common web security mistakes
  • Teams setting up a basic security checklist for CI, dependency scanning or threat modeling
  • Students learning the OWASP Top 10 and secure coding practices

Skip it if

  • Certified penetration testing or compliance sign-off: the skill gives general methodology, not a formal audit, and its findings need expert verification
  • Attacking systems you do not own: the file frames itself around defence, but its attacker-mindset language should not be used against third-party targets

Try asking

  • “Review this login handler for session fixation and cookie security issues”
  • “Do a STRIDE threat model for our new file upload feature”
  • “Check this API endpoint for IDOR and missing ownership checks”
  • “Which dependency scanners should we add to our CI pipeline for a Node project?”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Paste the specific code, endpoint or architecture you want reviewed so the advice is grounded in real details
  • Ask for prioritised findings with severity and a concrete fix, then verify them with actual scanners such as Semgrep or ZAP
  • Treat output as guidance to be checked by a qualified security engineer before relying on it in production
