Security & Testing

Implements and audits industry-standard security patterns for Java Spring Boot services, covering authentication, authorization, and vulnerability prevention.

This skill acts as a security specialist for Java developers using Claude, providing precise implementation patterns for Spring Security. It guides users through complex tasks such as configuring stateless JWT authentication, enforcing method-level authorization with @PreAuthorize, and hardening applications against common threats like SQL injection and CSRF. Whether you are building a new REST API or auditing an existing codebase, this skill ensures your services follow the 'deny by default' principle, utilize secure headers, and handle sensitive data or secrets with production-grade care.
