What it does
trailofbits-skills is a Claude Code plugin bundle from Trail of Bits that packages 28 security-focused skills for builders and agents who need more than lint rules. Solo developers shipping SaaS, APIs, CLI tools, or on-chain products can invoke skills aligned with professional appsec: architectural review, contract and blockchain analysis, static and differential checks, and structured audit workflows. Use it when AI-generated code is moving fast and you still owe users a defensible security story before launch. The skills assume you are working in authorized contexts—your own repos, bug bounties, or engagements—not attacking third parties without permission. It fits indie teams who cannot afford a full-time security engineer but want repeatable prompts and procedures that mirror how serious firms hunt bugs and document findings. Pair it with your normal Ship checklist: after feature work stabilizes, run targeted skills on the highest-risk surfaces (auth, secrets, payments, external integrations) before you tag a release.
Highlights
- 28 bundled Claude Code skills spanning audits, vulnerability detection, and security research workflows
- Coverage across smart contracts, mobile APKs, web appsec, cloud/Firebase misconfigs, and cryptographic footguns
- CodeQL, differential analysis, and evidence-based review patterns aimed at authorized security work
- Guidance for debugging, devcontainers, and toolchain-specific compiler-induced vulnerability classes
- Enterprise-grade security culture framing—explicitly for authorized testing and audit contexts
Why builders use it
AI coding assistants ship features quickly but rarely apply rigorous, domain-specific security review unless you wire in expert workflows yourself.
After you register the plugin, Claude Code can run structured Trail of Bits–style security analyses and audit routines on the parts of your stack you point it at—before users or attackers find the gaps.
