## What it does

The skill performs a structured security review using `Read`, `Edit`, `Grep`, `Glob`, and `Bash`. It starts by identifying sensitive code in authentication flows and API routes. Then it checks for SQL injection in unparameterized queries, missing input validation schemas (Zod, Joi), command execution in `exec`, and unsafe HTML rendering via `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`.

Strict checkpoints guide each phase of the review. The agent confirms password hashing with `bcrypt` or `argon2`, inspects JWT signing algorithms and expiration, and verifies global headers configured with `helmet`. For deeper vulnerability analysis, the skill delegates tasks to the `typescript-security-expert` agent. Findings are compiled into an assessment report scored from 1 to 10 with severity ratings from Low to Critical.

Dependency security checks rely directly on `npm audit`. If the repository lacks a `package-lock.json` file or CLI execution permissions are restricted, automated CVE verification cannot complete.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-security-review -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-security-review -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-security-review -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit typescript-security-review
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-security-review -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --path plugins/developer-kit-typescript/skills/typescript-security-review
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit --skill typescript-security-review -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/giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit/tree/HEAD/plugins/developer-kit-typescript/skills/typescript-security-review/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- detect SQL and NoSQL injection vulnerabilities in database queries
- audit JWT configurations for missing expiration and weak secrets
- scan TypeScript source files for hardcoded API keys and tokens
- inspect React components for unescaped `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` usage
- verify security headers and CORS settings across API endpoints

## Example prompts
- Run a security review on our authentication endpoints
- Check for security issues in the user profile controller
- Perform a TypeScript security audit before deploying to production

# TypeScript Security Review

## Overview

Security review for TypeScript/Node.js applications. Evaluates code against OWASP Top 10, framework-specific patterns, and production-readiness criteria. Findings are classified by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low) with remediation examples. Delegates to the `typescript-security-expert` agent for deep analysis.

## When to Use

- Performing security audits on TypeScript/Node.js codebases
- Reviewing authentication and authorization implementations (JWT, OAuth2, Passport.js)
- Checking for common vulnerabilities (XSS, injection, CSRF, path traversal)
- Validating input validation and sanitization logic
- Reviewing dependency security (npm audit, known CVEs)
- Checking secrets management and environment variable handling
- Assessing API security (rate limiting, CORS, security headers)
- Reviewing Express, NestJS, or Next.js security configurations
- Before deploying to production or after significant code changes
- Compliance checks (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2 data handling requirements)

## Instructions

1. **Identify Scope**: Determine which files and modules are under review. Prioritize authentication, authorization, data handling, API endpoints, and configuration files. Use `grep` to find security-sensitive patterns (`eval`, `exec`, `innerHTML`, password handling, JWT operations).

   **Checkpoint**: Verify at least 3 security-sensitive files/modules identified before proceeding.
