## What it does

The skill audits Roblox place code under the rule that the client is always compromised. It checks remote boundaries to enforce type validation on all arguments, remote rate limits, and server-side currency mutation. For monetization and persistence, it reviews `ProcessReceipt` verification, atomic trading flows, DataStore session-locking, and `BindToClose` handlers.

Implementation depends on the chosen authority setup. Under classic replication, the server validates damage, inventory, and permissions against its own state. For `Workspace.AuthorityMode = Server`, the skill relies on `BindToSimulation()` paired with `UseFixedSimulation` rather than broad `Heartbeat` corrections. It treats `ProximityPrompt`, `ClickDetector`, and `DragDetector` inputs with the same scrutiny as remote events.

Server bans via `Players:BanAsync` require `Players.BanningEnabled` set to true and must run inside `pcall`. Relying on client-side anti-cheat or code obfuscation fails immediately once an exploiter bypasses the local script.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-security -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/roblox-security/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/roblox-security/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-security -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/roblox-security/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-security -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/roblox-security/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install TabooHarmony/roblox-brain roblox-security
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/roblox-security/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-security -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --path skills/core/roblox-security
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/roblox-security/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add TabooHarmony/roblox-brain --skill roblox-security -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/TabooHarmony/roblox-brain/tree/HEAD/skills/core/roblox-security/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- audit remote events for missing argument type validation and rate limits
- secure ProcessReceipt purchases and prevent currency duplication
- implement DataStore session-locking with BindToClose protection
- validate ProximityPrompt and ClickDetector interactions on the server
- handle Players:BanAsync calls safely with pcall error wrapping

## Example prompts
- Audit my remote event handlers for client-trust vulnerabilities and missing type checks.
- Review this shop receipt script to ensure ProcessReceipt and currency mutations are secure.
- Check our DataStore saving flow for session locks and BindToClose handling.

# Roblox Security

## When to Load

Load for authority, remote abuse, economy, saves, bans, or sandboxing audits. Remote validation/rate limits: `roblox-networking`.

## Quick Reference

**Core:** Client is always compromised. The server remains the source of truth, but the implementation depends on the authority model.

### Authority Models

- **Classic replication:** validate client requests against server state. Never trust client damage, currency, inventory, permissions, or positions.
- **Server Authority:** `Workspace.AuthorityMode = Server`: the server owns core simulation while clients predict and recover from misprediction. Use `BindToSimulation()` (needs `UseFixedSimulation`), not blanket `Heartbeat` correction. Cheap for stock characters, rewrite-scale for authored simulation (full.md).
- **Both:** validate attacks, purchases, teleports, permissions, and custom remotes at the server boundary.

### Audit Checklist

**CRITICAL:** Server-authoritative state · Documented authority model · Validate all arg types · Rate limit remotes · Session-lock DataStore · No client currency mutations · ProcessReceipt verification · No secrets in client code
