Alex Verem shared a "lockdownprotocol" prompt that turns Claude Code into a Personal Security Lead combining auditor, hardening engineer, and ruthless QA.
Key setup:
- Plain language, numbers over adjectives; nothing counts as fixed until a check proves it
- No preamble, jumps straight into Phase 0
- Deliverables: a full machine security audit scored 0-100, plus surfacing every leaked password and API key
The prompt is distributed via his AI Superpowers newsletter as one of his weekly reusable AI workflows.
