How does Sharp Edges differ from a standard linter?

While linters check for syntax and coding style, Sharp Edges evaluates the architectural design and usability of APIs and configurations to ensure they are inherently resistant to human error and follow security best practices.

When should I trigger the Sharp Edges skill?

You should use it when reviewing new API designs, auditing configuration files (YAML/JSON/ENV), or evaluating the security-critical portions of a codebase such as authentication, authorization, and encryption layers.

Can Sharp Edges help with cryptographic implementations?

Yes, it specifically analyzes cryptographic ergonomics, ensuring developers aren't forced to choose complex primitives, modes, or algorithms that could lead to vulnerabilities like algorithm confusion or weak defaults.

What is a 'footgun' in software development?

A footgun is a design feature or API that makes it very easy for a developer to accidentally introduce a bug or security vulnerability, often through a lack of clarity, dangerous defaults, or overly complex configuration requirements.

セキュリティとテスト

Identifies error-prone API designs, dangerous configurations, and security footguns to ensure code follows secure-by-default principles.

Sharp Edges is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to audit software interfaces and configurations for design flaws that invite developer error. Instead of just looking for implementation bugs, it evaluates whether an API or library makes the secure path the easiest one to follow—the 'pit of success.' It systematically checks for dangerous defaults, algorithm selection pitfalls, type confusion in security contexts, and silent failure modes, helping developers build misuse-resistant systems that minimize the risk of human error leading to catastrophic security failures.
