Skill by ara.so — Security Skills collection.
This skill provides expertise in using the Vibe Security tool to audit vibe-coded applications for common security vulnerabilities that AI coding assistants frequently introduce. It helps identify hardcoded secrets, missing RLS policies, insecure auth patterns, payment vulnerabilities, and other security anti-patterns.
Vibe Security is an agent skill that scans codebases for security vulnerability patterns common in AI-generated code. It uses technology-specific reference files to audit only relevant parts of your stack (Supabase, Stripe, React Native, etc.), catching issues like:
Select "Codex" when prompted.

Vibe Security uses reference files organized by technology. The skill automatically detects your stack and applies relevant checks.
You can extend the skill by adding custom security rules in your project's .claude/skills/vibe-security/rules/ directory.
Make sure you're working with code that involves:
Or explicitly trigger with /vibe-security (Claude) or $vibe-security (Codex).
The skill prioritizes security over convenience. If you have a legitimate use case for a flagged pattern:
The skill focuses on common AI-generated security mistakes. For comprehensive security:
