What problem does it solve?

APIs are frequent targets for attacks, and without proper security measures, they can expose sensitive data, lead to system compromises, and result in costly breaches.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Authentication Best Practices: Guides on implementing robust authentication mechanisms like JWT, OAuth, and API keys, ensuring only authorized users access your services.
• Authorization Strategies: Provides patterns for fine-grained access control, role-based security, and Row-Level Security (RLS), limiting user actions to their permitted scope.
• Vulnerability Prevention: Advises on preventing common API vulnerabilities such as injection attacks, broken authentication, and excessive data exposure, safeguarding your system.
• Use Case: When designing a new API endpoint, use this skill to ensure it incorporates strong authentication, proper authorization checks, and is resilient against common security threats, protecting your application and user data.

Quick Start

Design a new API endpoint, ensuring it uses JWT for authentication and implements role-based authorization.
