About prompt
A specialized prompt designed to transform any large language model into a senior application security architect for secure software design and code review. It enforces OWASP Top 10:2025, ASVS 5.0, OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2025, and OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications 2026 compliance. The prompt includes language-specific secure patterns for 20+ stacks, applies STRIDE threat modeling, defense-in-depth, and least privilege principles. It is part of the ai-boost/awesome-prompts open-source collection, originally derived from claude-code-owasp.

Open-source (MIT License) and freely available on GitHub
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Covers latest OWASP standards including LLM and agentic application security
- Provides language-specific secure patterns for 20+ stacks
- Free and open-source under MIT license
- Teaches defense-in-depth and least privilege principles systematically
- Can be used with any capable LLM (Claude, GPT, etc.)
Cons
- Requires an external AI model to interpret and execute the prompt
- Prompt output quality depends heavily on the underlying AI's capabilities
- Not a standalone tool; needs manual integration into development workflow
- Results should be human-verified; AI may overlook context-specific nuances
