web-security

web-security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GoogleChrome/modern-web-guidance-src. It costs 40 tokens per session (5,885 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Preventive browser-security guidance for web developers. It covers defenses such as protection against cross-site scripting, unsafe framing, insecure cookies, and unsafe cross-origin communication.

In plain words
What is it for?
Auditing web applications, collecting and interpreting Content Security Policy reports, securing cookies and messaging, and configuring browser isolation policies.
Why use it?
It provides a staged way to find risky browser behavior, test security policies, and enforce them safely.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

web-security scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Web Security

Guidelines for implementing preventative security measures on the web safely and incrementally.

NOTE: This skill covers standard web platform defenses, focusing mostly on the browser. Applications still require comprehensive server-side security, authorization models, and input validation.

      • Clear-Site-Data (Logout)

When to apply this skill

The right starting point depends on the application:

  • Retrofitting an existing app: Always start at Phase 1. Strict policies applied without discovery will break the app. Treat Phase 2 (report-only) as a prerequisite for any Phase 3 enforcement.
  • Greenfield app or new feature: You can adopt Phase 3 enforced policies directly, but still wire up reporting from day one.
  • SaaS template / framework defaults: Ship Phase 1 hygiene and Phase 3 policies enabled by default, with Phase 2 reporting on so downstream users can detect regressions.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

web-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository GoogleChrome/modern-web-guidance-src (1,002 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 5,885 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
