Claude Code security: choose an audit workflow
A Claude Code security review starts with an authorized scope and a question to investigate. This workflow hub links existing directory skills for code audits and hardening, alongside the host’s permission controls. A skill supplies instructions; it does not certify a codebase or replace independent validation.
For authorized defensive review of your own code or code you have permission to assess. Review findings and patches before applying changes.
Investigate a codebase with an evidence trail
Cloudflare Security Audit describes reconnaissance, independent validation and reports grounded in source code. Choose it when you need an audit workflow and your agent supports isolated workers. Record affected files, a plausible attack path, the evidence and what remains unverified.
Review hardening around concrete boundaries
security-and-hardening from addyosmani/agent-skills focuses on input handling, authentication and integrations. Use it to turn a concrete trust-boundary question into a review checklist. Ask for source locations and a reproducible explanation; prioritize reachable weaknesses over a long list of theoretical concerns.
Check tool actions before they run
Use Claude Code’s permission controls and sandbox to limit what an audit can access. Inspect any skill scripts, hooks and configuration before enabling them: a hook can execute commands. Keep a human review step for consequential actions and follow the host’s current security documentation.
Validate a finding and its fix
Keep permissions narrow and use a disposable checkout without production secrets. Review untrusted repository instructions and dependencies before running them. Confirm the finding, review a scoped patch, then rerun the relevant regression or reproduction. Document what was actually tested; an AI review is not a guarantee of security.
Choose the next step
Use the existing skill pages for source, prerequisites and setup. This hub does not create another skill package.
- Browse skills: Compare the existing directory and its source-linked records.
- Install Claude Code skills: Choose folder, plugin or CLI installation and review trust before running.

FAQ
How can I use Claude Code for a security audit?
Define authorized files and a concrete threat question, choose an existing audit skill, and ask for source-backed findings. Validate each finding independently and review any proposed fix before applying it. Keep production credentials out of the review workspace.
Is this page a security-audit skill?
This is a workflow hub that links existing skills. Cloudflare Security Audit and security-and-hardening are separate projects with different maintainers and purposes. Open their existing entries to review the pinned source and setup.
Does a security skill make Claude Code safe automatically?
No. Instructions and hooks do not replace permission controls, sandboxing, source review or independent testing. Listed does not mean audited; the directory does not certify these skills or their findings.
