What it does

React Security is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Prevent XSS, secure auth flows, and harden React client-side applications. Use when preventing XSS, securing auth flows, or auditing third-party dependencies in React.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/REFERENCE.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Web application vulnerabilities and Authentication. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Securing auth flows
  • Auditing third-party dependencies in React

Example prompts

  • “/react-security”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

React Security loads about 594 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~594
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

React Security

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Prevent XSS Attacks

  • Never use dangerouslySetInnerHTML without sanitization. Use DOMPurify.sanitize(input) for all user-provided HTML.
  • Avoid javascript: protocols in href or src.

See implementation examples for DOMPurify sanitization and secure cookie configuration.

Secure Authentication

  • Store JWT/Sessions in HttpOnly and Secure cookies to prevent theft via XSS. Never store secrets in localStorage or in built JS bundle.
  • Data Flow: Escape all serialized state if injecting into HTML (e.g., in SSR). Use Content Security Policy (CSP) to restrict script sources and prevent inline execution.

Harden Application Boundaries

  • CSRF Protection: Use CSRF tokens for state-changing requests (PUT/POST/DELETE). Implement SameSite=Strict cookies where applicable.
  • Input Sanitization: Always validate and sanitize user inputs on backend. Frontend validation for UX only.
  • Dependency Management: Run npm audit / pnpm audit regularly. Pin specific dependency versions and use npm-check-updates.
  • Security Headers: Ensure server sends X-Frame-Options: DENY, X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, and Permissions-Policy.

Anti-Patterns

  • No eval(): RCE risk.
  • No Serialized State: Don't inject JSON into DOM without escaping.
  • No Client Logic for Permissions: Backend must validate.

References

See references/REFERENCE.md for DOMPurify usage, CSP headers, OAuth2/JWT auth patterns, and CSRF protection.
