How do I trigger a security review with Claude?

You can explicitly ask Claude for a 'security audit', a 'security-focused code review', or ask it to 'check for vulnerabilities' in a specific file or directory.

Does it suggest how to fix the security issues it finds?

Yes, every report generated by the Security Agent includes specific remediation guidance and best practices to resolve the identified vulnerabilities.

Is the security report easy to read?

The report is highly structured, providing severity levels (Low to Critical), impact assessments, and clear code snippets for easy interpretation.

What types of vulnerabilities can this skill detect?

It identifies common OWASP Top 10 risks including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), authentication flaws, and insecure dependencies.

Can it scan my project's third-party dependencies?

Yes, the agent can check your project's dependency files against known vulnerability databases to find CVEs and recommend updates.
