What it is, and how people use it
The OWASP Cheat Sheet Series was created to provide a concise collection of high value information on specific application security topics. It sits on the Program Projects shelf of the catalog, maintained by @OWASP.
✓Drop-in for Claude Code, Codex CLI and Cursor - install and it just runs.
✓Read the SKILL.md / README first; most setups are one command from the docs.
✓Teams use it to standardise how agents behave across every repo in the org.

Works out of the box
Open source installs are one command from the README, and the community threads cover the edge cases before you hit them.
Shared by thousands of builders
This many stars means the defaults are battle-tested across real projects - you inherit other people's hard-won setup knowledge.
Transparent and inspectable
Read exactly what the code, prompts and configs do before you install. Nothing is hidden behind a hosted model.
Actively maintained
The snapshot tracks commits, issues and releases, so you can see the project is alive before you depend on it.
