Here is a few examples of code I use in my htaccess files
Protect against XSS attacks
#X-XSS-Protection
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"
</IfModule>
Protect against page-framing and click-jacking
#X-Frame-Options
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
</IfModule>
Protect against content-sniffing
#X-Content-Type nosniff
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set X-Content-Type-Options nosniff
</IfModule>
All three at once
#XXS/Content-sniffing/page-framing
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
Header set X-Content-Type-Options nosniff
</IfModule>
Redirect to https and www
#Canonical https/www
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Redirect to https and non-www
# Canonical HTTPS/WWW
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)
https://example.com/$1
[L,R=301]
</IfModule>
Disguise all file extensions
#serve all files as .php
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
Protect .htaccess
[spoiler]# protect .htaccess
<Files ~ "^.*\.([Hh][Tt][Aa])">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy all
</Files>
Protect .htpasswd
# protect .htpasswd
<Files ~ "^.*\.([Hh][Tt][Pp])">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy all
</Files>
Protect both
# protect .htaccess and .htpasswd
<Files ~ "^.*\.([Hh][Tt])">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy all
</Files>

Haven't really thought about having htaccess do the work for XSS, normally I just create a secret and hash it with some identifier for the user

Now keep in mind, if you serve ALL files as PHP and you have any form of upload, you could get owned.
