What security standards does this skill follow?

This skill is primarily based on the OWASP Top 10 (2021+) standards, covering common vulnerabilities like Broken Access Control, Injection, and SSRF.

How does it assist with API development?

The skill provides a specialized API security checklist focusing on per-endpoint authorization, input sanitization, and rate limiting.

Is this a substitute for a professional security audit?

While it catches common issues and follows professional methodologies, it is designed to assist developers; deep security testing should still be performed by specialists.

Can it help me find secrets leaked in my code?

Yes, it includes specific audit patterns to identify hardcoded passwords, API keys, and other sensitive credentials within your repository.

Does this skill cover web browser security?

Yes, it includes a dedicated section for security headers such as Content-Security-Policy (CSP) and HSTS to prevent XSS and clickjacking.
