Security
Security agent skills give AI agents disciplined security workflows: code review for vulnerabilities, secret handling, dependency audits, and hardening checklists. Every skill on SkillMD also passes its own safety review before listing, with capability flags shown on each page.
-
ariadoss Skill PentestSecurity scanning via clearwing — source code vulnerability hunting and network pentesting.
-
ariadoss Skill Clean CodeAudit → fix → verify the branch diff against KISS, DRY, SOLID, and YAGNI. Finds duplicated logic, units with more than one reason to change, needless abstraction or speculative extensibility, wrong-altitude code, and dead code in the changed files — then applies the smallest safe refactor for each, one atomic commit per fix, under a green test suite. Quality only: it does not hunt for bugs (use /review or /code-review for that). Use when asked to "clean up the diff", "simplify this", "DRY this up", "refactor for SOLID", "remove duplication", "KISS", "YAGNI check", or "tidy before ship".
-
ariadoss Skill DB OptimizeDatabase performance audit — detects N+1 queries, missing indexes, join opportunities, slow queries, EXPLAIN analysis, and per-endpoint DB call counts. Use when asked to "optimize the database", "find slow queries", "check for N+1", "analyze query performance", or "audit DB calls".
-
ariadoss Skill Design AuditConduct systematic visual audits of existing applications and produce phased, implementation-ready design plans. Use when the user requests UI audits, visual design improvements, interface polishing, design consistency reviews, or says "make it look better" or "UI polish".

hmbown Skill Curse ShieldUse Curse Shield when Hermes should protect a surface in a way that makes contact linger on the attacker. The shield is not just there to absorb the next hit or throw an immediate counter; it tags hostile touch with a lasting penalty, mark, or contamination that follows the offender after impact. In practice, Curse Shield is for defended surfaces that impose audit burden, throttling, suspicion, reduced trust, quarantine, follow-up scrutiny, or another durable consequence on whatever keeps pressing into them.
-
arasz Bundle Call BehavioristUse when ai-badger's own machinery needs to be observed — "did that hook even run?", "enable debug logging", "why is the drift notice silent?", "turn on the audit log", "what did the hooks do?" — or to check, tail, or switch off that logging. Records which hook ran, in which project, under which version, to an append-only log.
-
arasz Skill Review ChangesUse when reviewing a diff, PR, or a batch of changed files and you need to know where the risk concentrates — which changed units have the largest blast radius, whether the highest-risk ones are actually covered by tests, and whether the result is safe to merge. Trigger phrases: "review these changes", "how risky is this diff", "what's the blast radius", "did anything untested change", "rank these changes by risk". Not for a pass/fail preflight of style, security, and layering checks — that is `code-review-checklist`; run the checklist for the mechanical gates and reach for this skill to decide where its attention should concentrate. The two compose: checklist for gates, this skill for prioritization.
Audited -
arasz Bundle Design Gate AuditUse when auditing a design doc's acceptance gates BEFORE implementation: check every gate would fail if the feature were broken (HONEST) and the named test file/framework/seam exists (FEASIBLE). Attacks vacuous negatives, timing-window vacuity, port races, env poisoning, unprovable real-time halves. Pairs with dotnet-hosted-service-testing for FakeTimeProvider mechanics.
-
arasz Bundle Research Record AuditUse when auditing a research record's factual accuracy, citation truth, or grade correctness: adversarially re-derive every load-bearing claim from cited sources, verify quotes verbatim at cited lines, re-run MEASURED claims, audit grade honesty (INFERRED hedged, UNVERIFIED plain), check negative claims for prune/retention explanations, and report ACCURATE/CORRECTED/OVERCLAIMED.
-
arasz Bundle Documentation Drift AuditUse when auditing docs for drift vs code ('audit and fix documentation drift'): inventory claims with path:line, verify each against real files (scaffolders, manifests, hooks), classify verifiably-false vs design-position vs ambiguous vs historical, fix only the false, and report A/B/C. Also for post-merge doc-gap audits and user-facing doc compaction rewrites.
-
arasz Bundle Complete Project Scope Code ReviewUse when the whole project — not a diff — is the review target and the result must survive being acted on: "review the entire codebase", "full quality review", "MoE review", "what is wrong with this project", "audit everything before the next release", or a review whose findings will become a plan someone implements. Runs ground-truth baseline, parallel expert lanes, integration, an adversarial pass that tries to falsify the findings, severity calibration against production reality, a reviewed plan, waved implementation in isolated worktrees, and a join review on every merge. Not for judging one diff or PR (that is review-changes plus code-review-checklist), one design document's gates (design-gate-audit), or one question (evidence-first-research).
