Cloudflare's security-audit-skill has 45,592 stars on GitHub. The Chinese translation was published today and has zero. That gap is the whole reason the translation exists — not because the original is hard to read for everyone, but because a security workflow is one of the few things where misreading a sentence changes what you actually run.

Cloudflare's security-audit-skill has amassed a significant following on GitHub, with 45,592 stars. The Chinese translation of this skill was recently released, but it currently has zero stars. The translation's existence is justified by the importance of a security workflow, where even a single misreading can lead to unintended actions.

The Chinese version is available at yangshun2005/security-audit-skill-cn. This translation differs from others in that it explicitly highlights potential pitfalls and provides clearer guidance on setup and usage.

The skill essentially transforms a coding agent into a security auditor. It does so not by prompting the agent to find bugs, but by enforcing a structured six-phase process. Each phase is handled by different agents, ensuring a rigorous and independent auditing process. The phases include reconnaissance, coverage-driven hunting, candidate validation, structured output, independent record verification, and substantiative replacements.

The skill also ensures target-neutral reporting, generating separate documents for confirmed findings, items needing validation, and rejected candidates.

The Chinese translation aims to address specific challenges faced by non-native speakers. It provides a more comprehensive quick-start guide, clearly outlines common pitfalls, and explicitly states the importance of running multiple instances of the skill for a thorough audit. The installation process is also straightforward, using the command npx skills add https://github.com/cloudflare/security-audit-skill --skill security-audit.

However, this pulls the skill directly from its upstream repository, not the translation. The Chinese README also addresses specifics like supported operating systems, hardware requirements, and Node.js version, which the original README omits.

In essence, the Chinese translation of Cloudflare's security-audit-skill is more than just a linguistic adaptation. It serves as a crucial resource for non-native speakers, providing detailed guidance on installation, setup, and usage, thereby ensuring a more effective and comprehensive security audit.
