SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires cargo, curl, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The AI Coding Shield Skill helps teams audit AI development artifacts for security risks, preventing unsafe configurations and code from entering production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow & MCP audit: Scan GitHub Actions workflows, MCP servers, and agent configurations for risky patterns and hard-to-detect misconfigurations.
  • Threat detection & remediation: Detect command injections, data exfiltration risks, obfuscated code, insecure dependencies, and suspicious package installations.
  • CI/CD integration: Seamlessly incorporate audits into existing pipelines and local development workflows for continuous security monitoring.

Quick Start

Install the tool using the provided install script: ./skill/scripts/install.sh Then run an audit on a target directory, e.g., ai-coding-shield audit .

Frequently Asked Questions about ai-coding-shield

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit GitHub Actions workflows for command injection and data exfiltration risks?

To audit GitHub Actions workflows for command injection and data exfiltration risks, run the ai-coding-shield CLI against your target directory. It scans AI development artifacts and configurations to detect risky patterns, misconfigurations, and suspicious package installations.

Can I scan MCP server configurations for security threats in a local environment?

Yes, you can scan MCP server configurations for security threats in local environments. The tool audits agent-like components and configurations, detecting insecure dependencies and hard-to-detect misconfigurations across both local development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

How do I integrate security threat detection into my CI/CD pipelines?

You integrate security threat detection into CI/CD pipelines by running the installed audit CLI as a pipeline step. It scans AI workflows and artifacts against a configurable threat catalog defined in config/threats.yaml, providing continuous security monitoring for your development lifecycle.

Does this security audit tool require any specific dependencies to run?

Yes, running this security audit tool requires both cargo and curl to be installed in your environment. You use curl to execute the provided install script, and cargo manages the underlying CLI application needed to scan your AI development artifacts.

What types of AI workflow security risks can a configurable threat catalog detect?

A configurable threat catalog can detect command injections, data exfiltration risks, obfuscated code, and insecure dependencies within AI workflows. Defined in config/threats.yaml, it allows teams to customize which risky patterns and misconfigurations are flagged during artifact scanning.

Why use a dedicated security audit tool instead of generic code scanners for AI artifacts?

A dedicated security audit tool is necessary because generic code scanners often miss AI-specific risks like malicious MCP configurations and agent misconfigurations. This tool specifically targets AI workflows, detecting obfuscated code and suspicious package installations unique to AI development environments.
