What the author says it does

Detects fail-open insecure defaults (hardcoded secrets, weak auth, permissive security) that allow apps to run insecurely in production. Use when auditing security, reviewing config management, or analyzing environment variable handling.

Quoted from the skill's own SKILL.md trigger description — this is what tells Claude when to activate it. Not yet verified by us.

Automated screening

100/100 validator score

Scored by the same rules as our free SKILL.md validator: trigger description quality, body substance, structure. Automated — a human bench test is the next step in the pipeline.

SkillProof status

This skill is in our test queue. We install every skill in a clean environment, run a trigger battery and score output against a baseline before it earns a catalog page — the full protocol is public. Until then, treat it like any unreviewed dependency: read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.
