Checking Session Security
Overview
This skill provides automated assistance for the described functionality.
Prerequisites
Before using this skill, ensure:
- Source code accessible in {baseDir}/

- Framework information (Express, Django, Spring, etc.)
- Configuration files for session settings
- Write permissions for security report in {baseDir}/security-reports/
Instructions
- Review session creation, storage, and transport security controls.
- Validate cookie flags, rotation, expiration, and invalidation behavior.
- Identify common attack paths (fixation, CSRF, replay) and mitigations.
- Provide prioritized fixes with configuration/code examples.
See {baseDir}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.

evaluating-machine-learning-models: This skill allows Claude to evaluate machine learning models using a comprehensive suite of metrics. It should be used when the user requests model performance analysis, validation, or testing. Claude can use this skill to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and other relevant metrics. Trigger this skill when the user mentions "evaluate model", "model performance", "testing metrics", "validation results", or requests a comprehensive "model evaluation".

It should be used when the user requests the creation of a new neural network, modification of an existing one, or assistance with defining the layers, parameters, and training process. The skill is triggered by requests involving terms like "build a neural network," "define network architecture," "configure layers," or specific mentions of neural network types (e.g., "CNN," "RNN," "transformer").
