Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
Scan a source tree for weak cryptographic primitives: MD5 / SHA-1 used for security purposes, DES / 3DES / RC4 ciphers, ECB block mode, custom-built crypto (XOR loops, hand-rolled HMAC), hardcoded IVs, predictable random (Math.random / java.util.Random for crypto seeds), missing certificate verification (verify=False, rejectUnauthorized: false). Use when: pre-merge gate on crypto-touching code, audit before SOC2 / PCI assessment, post-incident review when "we found a weakness in our token signi…

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/'detecting-weak-cryptography' ~/.claude/skills/'detecting-weak-cryptography' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
