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.
-
bertbertov Skill Source Code ScanningSecurity-focused source code review and SAST. Scans for vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10, CWE Top 25), CVEs in third-party dependencies/packages, hardcoded secrets, malicious code, and insecure patterns. Use when given source code, a repo path, or asked to "audit", "scan", "review" code security, or "check dependencies for CVEs".

Not for PowerShell scripting on Windows, use `powershell`.
-

arcasilesgroup Bundle AI Skill ImproveImproves an existing skill based on real project pain (prior eval corpora under .ai-engineering/evals/, Engram cross-session observations, LESSONS.md, decision-store, instincts, proposals) by analysing the failure pattern, rewriting SKILL.md, and emitting the proposed delta as a PR comment only — no auto-merge. Trigger for 'improve this skill', 'improve /ai-plan', 'make /ai-review better', 'optimize all skills', 'batch improve skills'. Accepts a single skill name or 'all' for batch mode. Not for creating new skills from scratch; use /ai-scaffold instead. Not for platform audit; use /ai-ide-audit instead.
-
arcasilesgroup Skill AI Simplify SweepSweeps stale code complexity on demand via an /ai-simplify wrapper, gates the diff, and opens a draft PR for human review.
