From the source SKILL.md

Authorization decides what an authenticated user may touch, and it fails quietly: the endpoint works perfectly for the owner and just as well for anyone who guesses another ID. The fix is to deny by default and check ownership of the exact object on every request, not merely that the caller is logged in.

What this skill does

Authz Design is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/authz-design/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when building endpoints that read or modify data belonging to a particular user or tenant.
