How do I use this skill during a code review?

You can invoke the skill to analyze specific code segments against OWASP categories like Injection or Broken Access Control to find hidden security flaws.

Does this replace professional penetration testing?

While it significantly improves security posture, it should be used as part of a broader security strategy including manual pentesting and automated SAST/DAST tools.

Is this skill restricted to specific programming languages?

No, the security principles and patterns provided are framework-agnostic and apply to most modern web application environments.

What version of OWASP does this skill support?

This skill is based on the OWASP Top 10 2021 standards, which include current critical risks like SSRF and Insecure Design.

Can this skill help me fix security vulnerabilities automatically?

Yes, it provides specific remediation patterns and secure coding practices that Claude can apply to your existing code to fix identified vulnerabilities.
