Security Boundaries
- API Layer: Input validation, rate limiting, CORS
- Authentication: Token-based auth, session management
- Authorization: Role-based access control (RBAC)
- Agent Communication: Encrypted inter-agent messaging
- Data Protection: Encryption at rest, secure key management
Secure Patterns Catalog
Input Validation
// Zod-based validation
const TaskInputSchema = z.object({
taskId: z.string().uuid(),
content: z.string().max(10000),
agentType: z.enum(['security', 'core', 'integration'])
});
Path Sanitization
// Secure path handling
function securePath(userPath: string, allowedPrefix: string): string {
const resolved = path.resolve(allowedPrefix, userPath);
if (!resolved.startsWith(path.resolve(allowedPrefix))) {
throw new SecurityError('Path traversal detected');
}
return resolved;
}
Command Execution
// Safe command execution
import { execFile } from 'child_process';
// ❌ Dangerous: shell injection possible
// exec(`git ${userInput}`, { shell: true });
// ✅ Safe: no shell interpretation
execFile('git', [userInput], { shell: false });

seo-audit
coreyhaines31/marketingskills
When the user wants to audit, review, or diagnose SEO issues on their site. Also use when the user mentions "SEO audit," "technical SEO," "why am I not ranking," "SEO issues," "on-page SEO," "meta tags review," "SEO health check," "my traffic dropped," "lost rankings," "not showing up in Google," "site isn't ranking," "Google update hit me," "page speed," "core web vitals," "crawl errors," "indexing issues," "stuck on page 2," "striking distance keywords," "title tag rewrite," "low CTR," "local SEO," "Google Business Profile," or "map pack." Use this even if the user just says something vague like "my SEO is bad" or "help with SEO" — start with an audit. For building pages at scale to target keywords, see programmatic-seo. For adding structured data, see schema. For AI search optimization, see ai-seo.
firebase-security-rules-auditor

Audits Firebase (Firestore, Cloud Storage) security rules for vulnerabilities, privilege escalation, role bypasses, create vs update inconsistencies, resource exhaustion, type safety, size limits, and hasOnly ownership checks. Use when auditing/reviewing rules, running red-team rule assessments, or scoring against auditor checklists. Don't use for Firebase CLI (login, deploy), Auth, Crashlytics, Remote Config, or database queries.
audit
pbakaus/impeccable
Run technical quality checks across accessibility, performance, theming, responsive design, and anti-patterns. Generates a scored report with P0-P3 severity ratings and actionable plan. Use when the user wants an accessibility check, performance audit, or technical quality review.
competitors
coreyhaines31/marketingskills
When the user wants to create competitor comparison or alternative pages for SEO and buyer-facing use. Also use when the user mentions 'alternative page,' 'vs page,' 'competitor comparison,' 'comparison page,' '[Product] vs [Product],' '[Product] alternative,' 'competitive landing pages,' 'how do we compare to X,' 'competitor teardown,' 'audit our competitor pages,' 'are our comparison pages out of date,' or 'competitive asset audit.' Use this for any content that positions your product against competitors. Covers four formats: singular alternative, plural alternatives, you vs competitor, and competitor vs competitor. For auditing existing claims (not researching competitors from scratch, which is competitor-profiling; not technical SEO on these pages, which is seo-audit), use the asset audit here. For internal battle cards and sales-specific competitor docs, see sales-enablement.
