How It Works
- Receives URL: Claude receives a URL or domain name from the user.
- Analyzes Headers: The plugin fetches the HTTP headers from the specified URL and analyzes them against security best practices.
- Generates Report: The plugin generates a detailed report, including a security grade, score, and specific recommendations for missing or misconfigured headers.

This skill activates when you need to:
- Analyze the security posture of a website.
- Identify missing or misconfigured HTTP security headers.
- Get recommendations for improving website security.
- Audit a website for compliance with security best practices.
Examples
Example 1: Security Audit
User request: "Analyze the security headers for example.com"
The skill will:
- Fetch the HTTP headers from example.com.
- Analyze the headers for common security vulnerabilities.
- Generate a report outlining the security grade, score, and any identified issues with recommendations.
Example 2: Quick Security Check
