Deposit disputes are won at move-out, weeks before the landlord decides anything: the tenant with timestamped photos of every wall, a completed walkthrough, and a forwarding address in writing collects; the tenant with memories negotiates. This skill runs both phases — the evidence protocol while there's still access, and the challenge-and-escalate ladder when deductions arrive — anchored on the distinction that decides almost every dispute: normal wear and tear (the landlord's cost of doing business, in most jurisdictions not deductible) versus damage (yours).
Security Deposit Recovery is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the forensics sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/security-deposit-recovery/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked how do I get my deposit back, my landlord is keeping my deposit, dispute these deposit deductions, or write a deposit demand letter. Produces the move-out evidence protocol, the deduction-by-deduction challenge with the wear-and-tear line drawn, the escalation ladder with letters, and the small-claims prep sheet.
The Security Deposit Recovery 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 158,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
