Additional Security Resources

parry - Injection Scanner

By Dmytro OnypkoPrompt injection scanner for Claude Code hooks. Scans tool inputs and outputs for injection attacks, secrets, and data exfiltration attempts.
Early development phase but worth exploring for additional security layers

Integration Tips

Security skills work best when integrated into your development workflow:
  • Use with Hooks - Set up pre-commit hooks to run security analysis automatically
  • PR Integration - Add security checks to pull request workflows
  • Combine with Testing - Pair security analysis with TDD skills for comprehensive coverage
  • Regular Audits - Schedule periodic security reviews of your codebase
While these skills provide powerful security analysis, they complement but don’t replace:
  • Professional security audits
  • Penetration testing
  • Runtime security monitoring
  • Security training for development teams
