Pre-deployment security audit organized by OWASP Top 10. Use when reviewing code before shipping or going to production.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Security checklist Pre-deployment security audit organized around the OWASP Top 10:2025 categories (released late 2025, succeeding the 2021 edition). This is the baseline that prevents obvious disasters, not a substitute for a real penetration test or threat model. For verification depth beyond this checklist, see OWASP ASVS 5.0 (https://owasp.org/www-project-application-security-verification-standard/). For API-specific scope, see OWASP API Security Top 10:2023 (https://owasp.org/API-Security/editions/2023/en/0x00-header/). ## Step 0: Research the current security landscape (do this first) > Security knowledge ages on a 6-12 month half-life. The recipes below were last verified on 2026-05-08; they may be stale by the time you read this. Before applying any pattern in this skill, fan out research scoped to the OWASP Top 10:2025 categories being audited so the recipes are interpreted against current authoritative sources, not against this file's snapshot. ### Default-on, with a documented skip Run the 4-angle research below by default. Skip ONLY when ALL of these hold: - (a) You ran this same skill on this same primitive within the last 4 hours of the current session, …

How to install
mdr add jamditis/claude-skills-journalism/security-checklist@sha256:ec73641f5709a0e9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.21f0bb2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
