What this skill does
This skill enables Claude to validate authentication implementations against security best practices and industry standards. It analyzes various authentication methods, including JWT, OAuth, session-based authentication, and API keys. Use this skill when you need to perform an authentication security check, assess password policies, evaluate MFA implementation, or analyze session security. Trigger this skill with phrases like "validate authentication," "authentication check," or "authcheck.

How it works
- Analyze Authentication Methods: The plugin examines the implemented authentication methods, such as JWT, OAuth, session-based, or API keys.
- Generate Security Report: The plugin generates a comprehensive report outlining potential vulnerabilities and recommended fixes related to password security, session management, token security (JWT), multi-factor authentication, and account security.
When to use it
- Assess the security of an application's authentication implementation.
- Identify vulnerabilities in password policies and session management.
- Evaluate the security of JWT tokens and MFA implementation.
- Ensure compliance with security best practices and industry standards.
Best practices
- Token Expiration: Implement short-lived access tokens and refresh token rotation for enhanced security.
- Multi-Factor Authentication: Encourage or enforce MFA to mitigate the risk of password compromise.

Adapting Transfer Learning Models
jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
This skill automates the adaptation of pre-trained machine learning models using transfer learning techniques. It is triggered when the user requests assistance with fine-tuning a model, adapting a pre-trained model to a new dataset, or performing transfer learning. It analyzes the user's requirements, generates code for adapting the model, includes data validation and error handling, provides performance metrics, and saves artifacts with documentation. Use this skill when you need to leverage existing models for new tasks or datasets, optimizing for performance and efficiency.
Validating Cors Policies
jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
This skill enables Claude to validate Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policies. It uses the cors-policy-validator plugin to analyze CORS configurations and identify potential security vulnerabilities. Use this skill when the user requests to "validate CORS policy", "check CORS configuration", "analyze CORS headers", or asks about "CORS security". It helps ensure that CORS policies are correctly implemented, preventing unauthorized cross-origin requests and protecting sensitive data.
