Security

Assess the test suite of a codebase — where tests are missing, where they exist but are weak, and which gaps actually matter. Use this skill whenever the user asks about test coverage, test quality, "are there enough tests", "where should we add tests", testing gaps, test debt, untested code paths, flaky tests, or generally wants to know whether a codebase is well-tested. Trigger even on casual phrasings ("is this tested?", "what's the test situation?", "audit our tests"). This skill does NOT write tests — it only assesses what exists and identifies what's missing. For test generation, this is the wrong skill.

Mine a codebase or product for underexploited assets — capabilities, infrastructure, data, integrations, and workflows built for one narrow purpose that could produce far more value. Finds platform primitives hiding inside features, internal tooling that could serve customers, and data accumulated but never leveraged. Produces an evidence-gated report (max 5 opportunities, mandatory kill list, one forced answer) plus a wwbd_packet JSON. Use whenever the user says "WWBD", "what would Bezos do", "what are we sitting on", "what did we accidentally build", "what could this become", "find opportunities in this repo", "what are we underexploiting", "is there a product hiding in here", or wants to know if existing infrastructure has a bigger economic surface than it currently serves. Trigger on casual phrasings too ("anything valuable buried in this codebase?"). Analyzes what EXISTS — missing features go to gap-scan, broken code to code-audit, confusing flows to ux-audit, weak persuasion to conversion-audit.

Hard readiness gate before implementation begins — cross-checks the constitution, feature spec, plan, and tasks for consistency, traceability, and unresolved ambiguity. Returns PASS or FAIL with specific findings. Load when the spec-driven-development orchestrator routes /analyze, when the user asks to cross-check spec vs plan, audit traceability, verify spec readiness, gate-check before implementation, or says "is this spec implementation-ready", "trace requirements to tasks", "/analyze", "spec sanity check", "spec readiness gate", "spec consistency check". Output: docs/reviews/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>-spec-crosscheck.md.

Extract actionable skill knowledge from academic papers and research articles, assess credibility, run security checks, and either improve existing skills or create new ones. Load when the user asks to learn from a paper, extract insights from a research paper, turn a paper into a skill, apply paper findings to skills, read this paper and improve my skills, or process a research article. Also triggers on "skill from paper", "learn from this paper", "paper to skill", "extract from this research", "apply this paper", or when the user uploads or links to an academic PDF or paper URL.

Detect and resolve naming collisions, overlapping intent triggers, and insufficient intent diversity across the skill library. Load when a new skill is created (called by universal-skill-creator), during improvement passes (called by improve-skills), or when the user asks to deconflict skills, check for naming collisions, audit trigger overlap, review intent coverage, find duplicate triggers, check skill names, or says "are any skills too similar", "which skills overlap", "deconflict the library", "check for confusing skill names", "intent audit".

Simplify application code for clarity without changing behavior — refactor after tests pass, reduce nesting and duplication, match project conventions. Load when refactoring for readability, cleaning up after a feature ships, or when code review flags complexity. Also triggers on "simplify this code", "code simplification", "make this easier to read", "reduce complexity", "refactor for clarity". Not for compress/split/prune-skill (skill-library files). Pairs with technical-debt-audit.

Prepare safe production launches — pre-launch checklist, monitoring, staged rollout, and rollback. Load when deploying to production, releasing a major change, opening beta access, or the user asks for a launch checklist, go-live plan, rollout strategy, or rollback plan. Not for local-only prototypes. Pairs with ci-cd-and-automation and app-security-hardening.

Reviews animation and motion code against a high craft bar derived from Emil Kowalski's design engineering philosophy (see `emil-design-eng`). Default to flagging; approval is earned. Use when reviewing a diff for motion quality — not for writing features, fixing unrelated bugs, or general (non-motion) code review. For building an animation from scratch, use `animate`; for a whole-codebase audit, use `improve-animations`. Source: github.com/emilkowalski/skills.

Security audit, hardening, threat modeling (STRIDE/PASTA), Red/Blue Team, OWASP checks, code review, incident response, and infrastructure security for any project.

Patent prior-art and landscape intelligence skill — not generic patent help. Commits to one of five sub-use-cases via forcing intake (novelty search / freedom-to-operate / competitive landscape / acquisition diligence / litigation prior-art) before any search runs. Searches Google Patents, Espacenet, USPTO, and optionally Lens.org for citation-graph signals. Output is an editable Word document (.docx) with verdict, ranked closest art (claim-text extracted), CPC-class-aware landscape, family-resolved hits, geographic coverage, FTO flags where applicable, strategy recommendations, and full audit log. Use when the user asks for patent searching or analysis (e.g., 'prior art search for [invention]', 'freedom to operate analysis for [product]'). Produces search signal, not legal advice — always recommends consulting a patent attorney before filing or licensing decisions. Trademark, copyright, and trade-secret questions are out of scope.

Load this skill when the user says "asvs security review", "asvs-security-review", "/asvs-security-review", or when invoked by reference from the review-issue skill's standards-review step. Performs a rule-by-rule walk of docs/security-standards.md against a diff, scoped to the ASVS sections the diff actually touches, and reports findings using the project's existing severity mapping.

Customize an installed legal skill's settings — jurisdiction defaults, tone, autonomy, and enforced conditions — without weakening its security posture.

Run the Legal Builder Hub security-review gate on a candidate legal skill — inspect its manifest and body for unsafe behavior before any install is allowed.

Remove an installed legal skill cleanly — check dependents, purge artifact and config, and preserve an audit record plus reinstall coordinates.

Score the experience a new customer actually has, not just whether they activated. Grades the first 90 days on the moments that make someone feel taken care of, finds where the welcome goes cold, and hands back a scored audit with the specific fixes. Built for any post-sale team, customizable to your product and lifecycle. Trigger on "audit my onboarding", "score our onboarding experience", "why do new customers churn early", "grade our first 90 days", "where does onboarding go cold", "is our welcome any good", or any onboarding-quality question.
