Curated by Skill Harbor: a security hardening guide that makes Muse review a Django application the way a security-minded reviewer would. It starts with the production settings that matter (DEBUG off, allowed hosts from the environment, secure cookies, HSTS, required secret key), then covers authentication with a custom user model, Argon2 password hashing and session configuration, and authorization with model permissions, DRF permission classes and role-based access control. SQL injection prevention leans on the ORM with parameterized raw() examples and the dangerous f-string interpolation marked as vulnerable. XSS prevention covers template auto-escaping, the safe filter rules, and escapejs for JavaScript contexts. CSRF protection covers secure cookie flags, trusted origins and AJAX token handling. File uploads get magic-bytes MIME validation cross-checked against extensions plus size limits, API security gets throttling and JWT/token authentication, and the skill closes with security headers, CSP middleware, secret management and a quick deployment checklist. By @affaan-m, listed here with credit to its creator. From the affaan-m/ECC repository (MIT). Honest caveats: a checklist is not a pentest, run a real security review for anything handling sensitive data; never paste real secrets into a chat while using it. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Copy the install package below, then paste it into MuseThe install prompt below already includes the vetting steps: your agent follows the community checklist before installing anything with executable code. Want more?
Use "Django Security Best Practices" with your Muse. Prerequisites: none to install. Pure guidance; a Django project helps. 1. Open the skill: https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC/blob/main/skills/django-security/SKILL.md and copy the full SKILL.md text. 2. Paste it into a chat with Muse and add: "Audit this Django project against the security checklist: [paste settings and key files, with secrets redacted]." 3. Work through the findings: production settings, auth, ORM queries, templates, CSRF, uploads, API throttling, headers. Tip: ask "which three findings are the most dangerous and what is the exact fix for each?" Safety: a skill is plain-text instructions; it runs nothing by itself. Never paste real secrets into a chat. Review generated commands before running them.

Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
