SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The cso skill performs infrastructure-first security audits to find leaked secrets, CI/CD and workflow misconfigurations, dependency supply-chain risks, exposed infrastructure, and skill supply-chain issues so teams get an actionable Security Posture Report rather than a noisy checklist.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phased, prioritized analysis: Runs a mental-model stack detection phase then targeted phases 0-14 covering attack surface mapping, secrets archaeology, dependency scanning, CI/CD review, infra shadow surface, webhook and integration audits, and active verification.
  • Modes and scopes: Supports daily zero-noise scans, comprehensive deep scans, scoped audits (infra, code, skills, supply-chain, OWASP), and branch-diff limited scans for PRs.
  • Concrete outputs: Produces severity-rated findings, reproducible evidence, remediation steps, and telemetry; ideal for security reviews, pre-release audits, and incident triage.

Quick Start

Run /cso in your Claude session to perform a daily infrastructure-first security audit and receive a Security Posture Report with findings and remediation steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan a repository for leaked secrets and CI/CD misconfigurations?

Infrastructure security audits scan your codebase to identify leaked secrets, CI/CD misconfigurations, and vulnerable dependencies, producing a Security Posture Report with severity-rated findings and remediation steps.

What is a Security Posture Report and what does it include?

A Security Posture Report is the output of an infrastructure security audit, containing severity-rated findings, reproducible evidence, and remediation steps. It provides actionable security insights rather than a noisy checklist of potential issues.

How do I run a security audit on a pull request branch diff?

You can run scoped branch-diff limited scans during pull requests to identify security issues in changes. This targets newly introduced leaked secrets, dependency vulnerabilities, and CI/CD misconfigurations without rescanning the entire repository.

Does this security audit cover dependency supply-chain risks?

Yes, infrastructure security audits explicitly cover dependency supply-chain risks alongside leaked secrets and exposed infrastructure. The scan evaluates vulnerable dependencies and skill supply-chain issues to provide comprehensive risk detection.

Can I use this for daily quick scans or is it only for deep audits?

You can perform daily zero-noise quick scans as well as comprehensive monthly deep scans. The audit supports multiple scopes including targeted reviews for infrastructure, code, supply-chain, and OWASP vulnerability categories.

What's the best way to audit exposed infrastructure and webhook integrations?

Running a comprehensive deep infrastructure security audit maps your attack surface and actively verifies exposed infrastructure and webhooks. It uses Grep-based code searches across targeted phases to identify shadow surfaces and integration vulnerabilities.
