Claude skills for security scanning: before you install one

Is there a Claude skill for security scanning?

There are 437 of them, spread over 181 repositories on GitHub. Named for it and most starred: security scan (anbeime/skill, ★ 8.9k), antinet security scan (anbeime/skill, ★ 8.9k) and algorand vulnerability scanner (trailofbits/skills, ★ 7.9k). Stars rate the repository a skill sits in, not the skill.

How do I install a Claude skill for security scanning?

For security scanning, take the security-scan folder from anbeime/skill (the folder that holds SKILL.md) into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every Claude Code project, or into .claude/skills/ for one project. In the Claude apps, zip that folder and upload it as a custom skill in settings.

Are all these security scanning skills in English?

No: 2 of those listed, such as security scan and antinet security scan, are written mainly in Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Russian rather than English, though the security scanning task is the same. Claude can follow them either way, but read them before you install.

Should I use a skill or an MCP server for security scanning?

A skill teaches Claude a way of working; an MCP server gives it new tools, like access to security scanning itself. We list 151 MCP servers for security scanning if you need the connection.

Are these security scanning skills official?

No. None of the 437 security scanning skills comes from Anthropic's own skills repository, so all of them are community-made across 181 repositories.

Can I use these security scanning skills at work?

Of the 50 security scanning skills listed here, 40 sit in repositories under an open licence such as MIT or Apache 2.0, and 3, such as security scan and antinet security scan, state no licence at all, which legally means you may not reuse them. Check the licence file before you copy one into company work.
