Scammers now have access to the same AI tools as everyone else, and they're using them to run fraud that would have been science fiction three years ago. Cloned voices that sound exactly like your mother. Deepfake video calls from your "boss." Phishing emails with zero typos and perfect personalization. Fake job interviews conducted entirely by AI. This skill covers the new generation of AI-powered scams — how they work, how to spot them, and what to do if you've already been hit.
AI Scam Defense is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the security-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ai-scam-defense/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when someone received a suspicious call from a "family member," got a too-perfect email, encountered a video call that felt off, or suspects any AI-generated fraud.
The AI Scam Defense Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 115,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
