Identifies error-prone APIs and 'footgun' designs that lead developers toward insecure configurations and implementation mistakes.
This skill implements a 'pit of success' analysis to evaluate whether APIs and configurations are resistant to developer misuse. It identifies 'sharp edges'—design choices where the most intuitive or easiest path leads to a security vulnerability.
Use this skill during API design reviews, auditing configuration schemas, evaluating cryptographic library ergonomics, or when assessing whether a system is 'secure by default'.
Ideal for security-focused coding agents, AI architects, and PR review bots in environments like Claude Code, Cursor, or custom security-agent harnesses.
