trailofbits-skills is a Claude Code plugin that bundles 28 Trail of Bits security skills for vulnerability detection, authorized auditing, and security research workflows.
About
trailofbits-skills is a Claude Code plugin bundle from Trail of Bits that packages 28 security-focused skills for developers and agents who need more than lint rules. 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 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.
- 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

What it does
Install Trail of Bits skills when you want Claude Code to run professional security research, static analysis, and audit-style reviews on real codebases—not generic security tips.
Who is it for?
Best when you're shipping sensitive features (auth, payments, smart contracts, mobile binaries) and want agent-assisted audits aligned with professional appsec practice.
Skip if: Casual prototyping with no security requirements, or anyone seeking offensive tooling without clear authorization and legal scope.
