What it does

Checking Owasp Compliance is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Check compliance with OWASP Top 10 security risks and best practices. Use when performing comprehensive security audits. Trigger with 'check OWASP compliance', 'audit web security', or 'validate OWASP'.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `references/README.md` and `scripts/README.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Security, covering Web application vulnerabilities. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Performing comprehensive security audits
  • With check OWASP compliance
  • Audit web security

Example prompts

  • “check OWASP compliance”
  • “audit web security”
  • “validate OWASP”
  • “/checking-owasp-compliance”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(security:*), Bash(scan:*), Bash(audit:*)

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Initiate Scan: The skill activates the owasp-compliance-checker plugin upon request.
  2. Analyze Codebase: The plugin scans the codebase for potential vulnerabilities related to each OWASP Top 10 category.
  3. Generate Report: A detailed report is generated, highlighting compliance gaps and providing specific remediation guidance for each…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(security:*)
    • Bash(scan:*)
    • Bash(audit:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Checking Owasp Compliance loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 496 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Owasp Compliance Checker

Assess web applications against the OWASP Top 10, identifying injection flaws, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure, XXE, access control gaps, and security misconfigurations.

Overview

This skill empowers Claude to assess your project's adherence to the OWASP Top 10 (2021) security guidelines. It automates the process of identifying potential vulnerabilities related to common web application security risks, providing actionable insights to improve your application's security posture.

How It Works

  1. Initiate Scan: The skill activates the owasp-compliance-checker plugin upon request.
  2. Analyze Codebase: The plugin scans the codebase for potential vulnerabilities related to each OWASP Top 10 category.
  3. Generate Report: A detailed report is generated, highlighting compliance gaps and providing specific remediation guidance for each identified issue.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

  • Evaluate your application's security posture against the OWASP Top 10 (2021).
  • Identify potential vulnerabilities related to common web application security risks.
  • Obtain actionable remediation guidance to address identified vulnerabilities.
  • Generate a compliance report for auditing or reporting purposes.

Examples

Example 1: Identifying SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

User request: "Check OWASP compliance for SQL injection vulnerabilities."

The skill will:

  1. Activate the owasp-compliance-checker plugin.
  2. Scan the codebase for potential SQL injection vulnerabilities.
  3. Generate a report highlighting any identified SQL injection vulnerabilities and providing remediation guidance.
Example 2: Assessing Overall OWASP Compliance

User request: "/owasp"

The skill will:

  1. Activate the owasp-compliance-checker plugin.
  2. Scan the entire codebase for vulnerabilities across all OWASP Top 10 categories.
  3. Generate a comprehensive report detailing compliance gaps and remediation steps for each category.

Best Practices

  • Regular Scanning: Integrate OWASP compliance checks into your development workflow for continuous security monitoring.
  • Prioritize Remediation: Address identified vulnerabilities based on their severity and potential impact.
  • Stay Updated: Keep your OWASP compliance checker plugin updated to benefit from the latest vulnerability detection rules and remediation guidance.

Integration

This skill can be integrated with other plugins to automate vulnerability remediation or generate comprehensive security reports. For example, it can be used in conjunction with a code modification plugin to automatically apply recommended fixes for identified vulnerabilities.

Prerequisites

  • Access to codebase and configuration files in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/
  • Security scanning tools installed as needed
  • Understanding of security standards and best practices
  • Permissions for security analysis operations

Instructions

  1. Identify security scan scope and targets
  2. Configure scanning parameters and thresholds
  3. Execute security analysis systematically
  4. Analyze findings for vulnerabilities and compliance gaps
  5. Prioritize issues by severity and impact
  6. Generate detailed security report with remediation steps

Output

  • Security scan results with vulnerability details
  • Compliance status reports by standard
  • Prioritized list of security issues by severity
  • Remediation recommendations with code examples
  • Executive summary for stakeholders

Error Handling

If security scanning fails:

  • Verify tool installation and configuration
  • Check file and directory permissions
  • Validate scan target paths
  • Review tool-specific error messages
  • Ensure network access for dependency checks

Resources

  • Security standard documentation (OWASP, CWE, CVE)
  • Compliance framework guidelines (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
  • Security scanning tool documentation
  • Vulnerability remediation best practices
