Free Claude Skill Scans Other Skills for Security Risks
A developer has created a free Claude skill designed to review the security of other Claude skills. The tool addresses concerns about the security review ecosystem for community-created skills, which the developer compares to the early days of open source package security.
What the Skill Does
The skill inspects Claude skills before use by:
- Checking the skill code for potentially malicious behavior
- Reviewing the repository using a scorecard-style approach to surface basic security signals
The developer built the project specifically for Claude to help answer the question: "Does this Claude skill look reasonably safe to use?"
Development Process
Claude assisted with parts of the development, including:
- Shaping the workflow
- Refining the checks
- Speeding up implementation
Availability and Feedback
The tool is free to try at: https://github.com/CloudSecurityPartners/skills
The developer is seeking feedback from people building or using Claude skills, particularly around what security checks would be most useful.
