security 4 builders
A skill for Claude Code

Security, explained like you're not a security person.

You know you should "do security" but not where to start. This skill has a plain conversation about your business, then hands you a short, prioritized plan.

Who it's for

Built for the person who has to figure this out, not a security team.

Already have a CISO and a SOC 2 in flight? Skip this. Staring at a security questionnaire with no idea where to start? Keep reading.

Plain words, not buzzwords

Findings explained in sentences a founder can read at 11pm — no acronym soup.

Looks at the business, not just the code

Vendors, contracts, who owns what — most real risk starts outside the codebase.

Matched to your stage, not overkill

A pre-seed app doesn't need what a bank needs. It says what matters now, and what can wait.

See it for yourself

What a first pass actually looks like

BuildeRiot is a fictional startup we ran through the skill, so you see real output.

How it works

Four steps, one conversation.

1

Answer plain questions

What you do, who your customers are, what data you hold. No jargon required.

2

It reads your code first

It scans your repo first, so it doesn't ask what it can already see.

3

You fill the gaps together

Only the technical questions that apply to your stack.

4

You get a plan, not a lecture

A prioritized checklist and the dashboard shown above.

What you get

Two files. Both yours, both local.

Source of truth

security-checklist.md

  • Every item, its priority, its status, and the first step.
  • Plain markdown — readable by anyone, no tooling needed.
  • Everything else is generated from this file.
The dashboard

security-dashboard.html

  • Open it in any browser. No install, no account, no server.
  • Filter, check things off, drag items between now / next / later.
  • Every card copies a ready-made prompt for your coding assistant.
/overview

A plain-English status report on one topic.

/fixit

Fixes one item safely — with your approval.

/create-doc

Drafts the document a compliance item needs.

Where your data goes

Nowhere. It stays on your laptop.

It runs inside your own Claude Code session and saves a plain HTML file to your project. No account, no server, no third party.

Kept out of git by default.
Saved to your browser's local storage only.
No signup, no license key, no telemetry.
Get it

Two minutes to install.

Claude Code skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (every project) or .claude/skills/ (this project only).

Every project
git clone https://github.com/advaha91/security4builders.git \
  ~/.claude/skills/security4builders
This project only
git clone https://github.com/advaha91/security4builders.git \
  .claude/skills/security4builders

Then ask Claude Code: "help me do a security assessment."
