How to choose

security-audit reviews code for flaws that cross a trust boundary. It gives guidance by default and runs its six-phase audit only when you ask, ending in a REPORT.md. It reads source only and runs target code only in a sandbox with no network. It is not for scanning live sites.

security-and-hardening works while code is written rather than after. It starts with a short STRIDE threat model, then applies always, ask-first and never rules, such as parameterized queries and no secrets in commits. Pick it for web code that handles input, logins or personal data. It needs nothing extra.

Two skills share the name security-review. Sentry's version researches the whole codebase and reports only high-confidence, exploitable flaws; at least one scanner rated it high risk. Affaan Mustafa's version is a checklist with wrong and right examples for TypeScript web apps, ending in a seventeen-item list before deploy.

better-auth-security-best-practices only fits apps on Better Auth, covering the secret, rate limits, CSRF checks and cookies. penetration-testing-with-strix runs the Strix pentest tool against targets you own, needs Docker and an LLM key, and has a high-risk scanner result.

Secondary picks cover one platform each. supabase-postgres-best-practices and supabase include row level security rules, clerk-setup adds Clerk sign-in, and Android Skills cover intent and permission security. ponytail-audit reports security holes across a whole repo, and health checks your agent setup's deny-lists for credential folders.
