Open-Sourced Claude Code Security Audit Skill

Working in web development and SEO, the author frequently inherits projects built by clients using AI tools like Lovable, Bolt, and Cursor, asking them to "make it real." They noticed a common fatal flaw across these projects: they appear complete, but altering a single URL could potentially expose all user data without anyone noticing.

The most prevalent vulnerabilities include:

The author points out that while AI coding tools excel at "getting things to run," they fail to distinguish between "permitted design" and "critical security vulnerabilities." To solve this, they converted their personal audit checklist into a Claude Code skill. It automatically identifies the project stack and evaluates five domains: frontend, backend/data, auth/security, infrastructure, and recovery/ops. It outputs a scorecard with file paths and a remediation list, iterating until the score turns from 0/5 to green.

They emphasize that the skill's value lies not in being "smarter," but in altering default behaviors: unverifiable items always require manual review, and simply taking the user's word that "it's fine" won't automatically trigger a green light. A fixed rubric ensures that scores remain comparable and trackable over time. The project is open-sourced under MIT and can be installed directly into Claude Code.
