Is this suitable for non-technical founders?

Absolutely; it uses standardized checklists and pre-configured AI prompts to ensure that even AI-generated code follows professional security standards without requiring deep cybersecurity expertise.

When should I run the security review?

You should use the skill during development to secure routes, and perform the 'Pre-Launch Security Review' checklist immediately before deploying your application to production.

Does it include authentication logic?

Yes, it provides standard patterns for bcrypt hashing, email verification, password complexity requirements, and secure session management.

Can this skill help with OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities?

Yes, it specifically addresses common threats like SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF by providing implementation patterns for sanitization and parameterized queries.

How does the secure skill protect my API keys?

It guides Claude to move all sensitive credentials, like Stripe or database keys, into .env files and ensures .gitignore is configured correctly to prevent accidental exposure.
