SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies and helps you fix "sharp edges" in API design, configuration, and interfaces that make security mistakes easy or inevitable for developers.

Core Features & Use Cases

Footgun Detection: Pinpoints APIs, configurations, or designs where the easiest path leads to insecurity.
Secure Defaults Analysis: Evaluates if secure options are the default and if insecure options are hard to select.
Use Case: Reviewing a new cryptographic library's API to ensure developers cannot easily misuse it, or auditing a configuration schema to prevent dangerous default settings.

Quick Start

Analyze the provided API design document for potential security footguns.

FAQPage Schema

How do I find security footguns in my API design?▼

Identifying security footguns in API design involves analyzing your interfaces to pinpoint where the easiest development path leads to insecurity, dangerous defaults, and configuration cliffs. This Skill audits for misuse-resistant patterns to prevent inevitable developer mistakes.

How does secure defaults analysis work for configuration schemas?▼

Secure defaults analysis evaluates if secure options are the default selection and if insecure options require deliberate effort to select. It audits configuration schemas to prevent dangerous default settings that make security mistakes inevitable for developers.

Can I audit a cryptographic library API for misuse-resistant patterns?▼

Yes, you can audit a cryptographic library's API to ensure developers cannot easily misuse it. The analysis identifies footguns and verifies that the interface enforces secure defaults, making insecure implementation paths difficult to select.

What is the best way to review authentication interfaces for security vulnerabilities?▼

Reviewing authentication interfaces for security vulnerabilities requires analyzing the design for misuse-resistant patterns and dangerous defaults. This process identifies configuration cliffs where the easiest path leads to insecurity, ensuring the interface prevents inevitable developer mistakes.
