Security guidance and best practices for code development.
This skill provides security-focused guidance during code development, helping identify and prevent common security vulnerabilities.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Writing code that handles sensitive data
- Implementing authentication or authorization
- Working with user input or external data
- Designing APIs or network services
- Reviewing code for security issues
- Learning security best practices
Common Security Concerns
Input Validation
- SQL injection prevention
- Cross-site scripting (XSS) protection
- Command injection avoidance
- Path traversal prevention
Authentication & Authorization
- Secure password handling
- Session management
- Role-based access control
- Token security
Data Protection
- Encryption at rest and in transit
- Secure storage of secrets
- Data minimization principles
- Privacy by design
API Security
- Rate limiting
- Input validation
- Error handling (avoid information leakage)
- Secure headers and CORS
Usage Example
# General security check:
"Review this code for security issues"
# Specific concerns:
"Check for SQL injection vulnerabilities"
"Validate the authentication implementation"
"Review API security headers"
Security Mindset
- Principle of least privilege - Only grant necessary permissions
- Defense in depth - Multiple layers of security
- Fail securely - Default to secure state on failure
- Keep it simple - Complexity breeds vulnerabilities
- Assume breach - Design for detection and containment
Implementation Guidance
- Use established libraries for security functions
- Keep dependencies updated
- Implement proper logging and monitoring
- Regular security testing and code review
- Stay informed about new vulnerabilities
