# Security Pro Pack This skill provides automated assistance for security pro pack tasks. ## Overview This skill provides automated assistance for security pro pack tasks. This skill empowers Claude to perform in-depth security audits across various domains, from code vulnerability scanning to compliance verification and infrastructure security assessment. It utilizes the specialized tools within the security-pro-pack to provide a comprehensive security posture analysis. ## How It Works 1. **Analysis Selection**: Claude determines the appropriate security-pro-pack tool (e.g., `Security Auditor Expert`, `Compliance Checker`, `Crypto Audit`) based on the user's request and the context of the code or system being analyzed. 2. **Execution**: Claude executes the selected tool, providing it with the relevant code, configuration files, or API endpoints. 3. **Reporting**: Claude aggregates and presents the findings in a clear, actionable report, highlighting vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and potential security risks, along with suggested remediation steps. ## When to Use This Skill This skill activates when you need to: - Assess the security of code for vulnerabilities like those in the OWASP Top 10. - Evaluate compliance with standards such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, or SOC 2. - Review cryptographic implementations for weaknesses. - Perform container security scans or API security audits. ## Examples ### Example 1: Vulnerability Assessment User request: "Please perform a security audit on this authentication code to find any potential vulnerabilities." The skill will: 1. Invoke the `Security Auditor Expert` agent. 2. Analyze the provided authentication code for common vulnerabilities. 3. Generate a report detailing any identified vulnerabilities, their severity, and recommended fixes. ### Example 2: Compliance Check User request: "Check this application against GDPR compliance requirements." The skill will: 1. Invoke the `Compliance Checker` agent. 2. Evaluate the application's architecture and code against GDPR guidelines. 3. Generate a report highlighting any non-compliant areas and suggesting necessary changes. ## Best Practices - **Specificity**: Provide clear and specific instructions about the scope of the audit (e.g., "audit this specific function" instead of "audit the whole codebase"). - **Context**: Include relevant context about the application, infrastructure, or data being audited to enable more accurate and relevant results. - **Iteration**: Use the skill iteratively, addressing the most critical findings first and then progressively improving the overall security posture. ## Integration This skill seamlessly integrates with all other components of the security-pro-pack plugin. It also works well with Claude's existing code analysis capabilities, allowing for a holistic and integrated security review process. ## Prerequisites - Appropriate file access permissions - Required dependencies installed ## Instructions 1. Invoke this skill when the trigger conditions are met 2. Provide necessary context and parameters 3. Review the generated output 4. Apply modifications as needed ## Output The skill produces structured output relevant to the task. ## Error Handling - Invalid input: Prompts for correction - Missing dependencies: Lists required components - Permission errors: Suggests remediation steps ## Resources - Project documentation - Related skills and commands
