Use when implementing authentication/authorization, securing user input, or preventing OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities — including custom security implementations such as hashing passwords with bcrypt/argon2, sanitizing SQL queries with parameterized statements, configuring CORS/CSP headers, validating input with Zod, and setting up JWT tokens. Invoke for authentication, authorization, input validation, encryption, OWASP Top 10 prevention, secure session management, and security hardening. For…

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

# Secure Code Guardian

## Core Workflow

1. **Threat model** — Identify attack surface and threats
2. **Design** — Plan security controls
3. **Implement** — Write secure code with defense in depth; see code examples below
4. **Validate** — Test security controls with explicit checkpoints (see below)
5. **Document** — Record security decisions

### Validation Checkpoints

After each implementation step, verify:

- **Authentication**: Test brute-force protection (lockout/rate limit triggers), session fixation resistance, token expiration, and invalid-credential error messages (must not leak user existence).
- **Authorization**: Verify horizontal and vertical privilege escalation paths are blocked; test with tokens belonging to different roles/users.
- **Input handling**: Confirm SQL injection payloads (`' OR 1=1--`) are rejected; confirm XSS payloads (`<script>alert(1)</script>`) are escaped or rejected.
- **Headers/CORS**: Validate with a security scanner (e.g., `curl -I`, Mozilla Observatory) that security headers are present and CORS origin allowlist is correct.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jeffallan/claude-skills/secure-code-guardian@sha256:47715fd6db1e0507

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
