Frequently Asked Questions
Resource Hub FAQs
- Are these resources really free?
- Yes. Every prompt, guide and template on this page is free to use in your projects. We provide these resources because we believe security should be accessible to everyone building with AI. If you need hands-on help, our professional audits start at $1,500 CAD.
- Do security prompts replace a professional audit?
- No. Security prompts catch common issues that AI coding tools introduce, but they cannot detect business logic flaws, complex authorization bypasses or architecture-level vulnerabilities. Think of prompts as a first pass and a professional audit as the thorough review.
- Which AI coding tools do these resources work with?
- Our prompts and guides work with Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, Replit Agent, Claude Code, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot and any AI coding assistant that accepts natural language instructions. The environment setup guide covers Node.js, Python and PHP stacks.
- I am an enterprise team. Where should I start?
- Start with our Enterprise AI Coding Security page. It covers the policy, process and tooling framework that organizations need when mandating AI coding tools across development teams.
