What it does
“Claude Security: scan the codebase (the whole repository or a scoped part of it), scan changes (this branch's or a pull request's diff, or one commit), or suggest patches (findings turned into targeted patch files, each verified by a panel of agents, that you apply when you choose). Use when the user asks to scan, audit or check code with Claude Security, to scan their changes with Claude Security, or to fix or patch Claude Security findings.”
Generated summary from the skill's own text
Scans your repository for security issues using Claude, examines code changes or commits for vulnerabilities, and generates patch files to fix findings. The skill presents a menu to pick scan scope, runs security analysis with verification, and lets you review before applying any fixes.
When to use it
- Audit a full codebase for security vulnerabilities and issues
- Review changes in a branch or pull request for new security risks
- Generate and review patches to fix identified security findings
- Check specific commits for introduced security problems
When not to
- Running untrusted code or scanning repositories you do not own
- When isolation from repository contents is required for security
- As a replacement for professional security review or penetration testing
