insecure-defaults

95 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a security skill usually runs scanners and checks websites.

By dreadnode/capabilities (GitHub) · security · 22 stars · scanned at commit 3ceeb34

Detect fail-open insecure defaults: hardcoded secrets, weak auth, permissive security that allow apps to run insecurely in production. Use when auditing security configuration, reviewing environment variable handling, or analyzing deployment files.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'insecure-defaults' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'insecure-defaults' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named insecure-defaults already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/dreadnode/capabilities' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3ceeb34c0c33dc36738cf0d4ec86e38b53d98216' -- 'capabilities/web-security/skills/insecure-defaults' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'capabilities/web-security/skills/insecure-defaults' ~/.agents/skills/'insecure-defaults' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'insecure-defaults' ~/.claude/skills/'insecure-defaults' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
