Is it suitable for API security?

Absolutely. It covers rate limiting, restrictive CORS configurations, and the implementation of essential security headers like HSTS and CSP.

Does this skill provide code for input validation?

Yes, it includes standardized patterns for regex validation, SQL injection prevention, and XSS sanitization across multiple languages like Python and JavaScript.

Can I use this for secrets management?

The skill includes detailed guidance on managing environment variables, secret rotation periods, and configuring .gitignore to prevent accidental leaks of sensitive credentials.

How does this skill help with OWASP compliance?

It provides specific prevention strategies and code patterns for the current OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, including broken access control, injection, and cryptographic failures.

Security & Testing

Implements comprehensive security protocols and OWASP-compliant coding patterns to protect applications from common vulnerabilities.

About

The Security Standards skill provides Claude with a rigorous framework for building secure-by-design software. It offers practical implementation patterns for the OWASP Top 10, ensuring that every line of code adheres to core principles like Least Privilege and Defense in Depth. From preventing SQL injection and XSS through standardized input validation to implementing robust authentication and secrets management, this skill helps developers build resilient applications that handle sensitive data safely while maintaining a clear audit trail of security events.
