Checks SKILL.md files for security risks like prompt injection, hardcoded secrets, format issues, script risks, and best practices compliance. Use for creating, reviewing, or auditing Skills.
npx claudepluginhub addxai/enterprise-harness-engineering --plugin enterprise-harness-engineeringThis skill uses the workspace's default tool permissions.
Local security check Skill for detecting security risks in `SKILL.md` files and ensuring the security of the Skills repository. Checks whether Skills comply with security best practices from the Agent Skills Specification.
Scans SKILL.md files for security issues including prompt injection, malicious scripts, excessive permissions, secret exposure, and supply chain risks using Python static analyzer and Bash workflows.
Performs read-only static security audits of Claude Code skills, commands, and plugins. Analyzes SKILL.md frontmatter, content, scripts, hooks for risks. Supports GitHub/URL fetches via WebFetch. Use for 'audit a skill' or safety reviews.
Evaluates security and safety of agent skills from GitHub repos, websites, or files. Detects prompt injections, malicious code, hidden instructions, data exfiltration with risk scores and recommendations.
Share bugs, ideas, or general feedback.
Local security check Skill for detecting security risks in SKILL.md files and ensuring the security of the Skills repository. Checks whether Skills comply with security best practices from the Agent Skills Specification.
Based on arXiv research, 26.1% of Skills contain at least one vulnerability. Key risks include:
Note: This section is designed for LLM / PR-Agent prompt injection; it is the compact executable version of this Skill.
