security-audit

Performs a complete security check on programs. Analyzes website and API security and finds flaws. It's useful to ensure a program is safe to use.

What it does

This tool helps check the security of websites and applications. It looks for weaknesses that hackers could exploit to attack.

When to use it

  • ✓When launching a new website or app.
  • ✓If you suspect your website has been compromised.
  • ✓To ensure your application follows security best practices.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Check my website's security for vulnerabilities.”

Ready-to-paste message

Use this skill to help me: https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/blob/main/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills-claude/skills/security-audit/SKILL.md Read the SKILL.md file at that link and follow its instructions for my task.
How it works

It uses other tools to search for flaws in different parts of your site, like how it handles input or protects user data. Then, it organizes the findings for you.

Installation

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill security-audit

Or download just the file:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/main/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills-claude/skills/security-audit/SKILL.md -o SKILL.md

Security Auditing Workflow Bundle

Overview

Comprehensive security auditing workflow for web applications, APIs, and infrastructure. This bundle orchestrates skills for penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, security scanning, and remediation.

When to Use This Workflow

Use this workflow when:

  • Performing security audits on web applications
  • Testing API security
  • Conducting penetration tests
  • Scanning for vulnerabilities
  • Hardening application security
  • Compliance security assessments

Workflow Phases

Phase 1: Reconnaissance

Skills to Invoke

  • scanning-tools - Security scanning
  • shodan-reconnaissance - Shodan searches
  • top-web-vulnerabilities - OWASP Top 10

Actions

  1. Identify target scope
  2. Gather intelligence
  3. Map attack surface
  4. Identify technologies
  5. Document findings

Copy-Paste Prompts

Use @scanning-tools to perform initial reconnaissance
Use @shodan-reconnaissance to find exposed services

Phase 2: Vulnerability Scanning

Skills to Invoke

  • vulnerability-scanner - Vulnerability analysis
  • security-scanning-security-sast - Static analysis
  • security-scanning-security-dependencies - Dependency scanning

Actions

  1. Run automated scanners
  2. Perform static analysis
  3. Scan dependencies
  4. Identify misconfigurations
  5. Document vulnerabilities

Copy-Paste Prompts

Use @vulnerability-scanner to scan for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
Use @security-scanning-security-dependencies to audit dependencies

Phase 3: Web Application Testing

Skills to Invoke

  • top-web-vulnerabilities - OWASP vulnerabilities
  • sql-injection-testing - SQL injection
  • xss-html-injection - XSS testing
  • broken-authentication - Authentication testing
  • idor-testing - IDOR testing
  • file-path-traversal - Path traversal

Actions

  1. Test for injection flaws
  2. Test authentication mechanisms
  3. Test session management
  4. Test access controls
  5. Test input validation
  6. Test security headers

Copy-Paste Prompts

Use @sql-injection-testing to test for SQL injection vulnerabilities
Use @xss-html-injection to test for cross-site scripting
Use @broken-authentication to test authentication security

Phase 4: API Security Testing

Skills to Invoke

  • api-fuzzing-bug-bounty - API fuzzing
  • api-security-best-practices - API security

Actions

  1. Enumerate API endpoints
  2. Test authentication/authorization
  3. Test rate limiting
  4. Test input validation
  5. Test error handling
  6. Document API vulnerabilities

Copy-Paste Prompts

Use @api-fuzzing-bug-bounty to fuzz API endpoints

Phase 5: Penetration Testing

Skills to Invoke

  • pentest-commands - Penetration testing commands
  • pentest-checklist - Pentest planning
  • ethical-hacking-methodology - Ethical hacking
  • metasploit-framework - Metasploit

Actions

  1. Plan penetration test

FAQ

What are vulnerabilities?

They are like 'open doors' or weaknesses in a system that malicious actors can exploit.

What is penetration testing?

It's a simulation of a real attack to see how secure your system is and where it can be improved.

Do I need to be an expert to use this?

No, the goal is for you to be able to request security checks even without programming knowledge.
