SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of performing security-focused code reviews on changes, ensuring that potential vulnerabilities and regressions are identified before they reach production.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Security-First Analysis: Prioritizes critical areas like authentication, cryptography, and value transfer.
  • Context-Aware: Adapts analysis depth based on codebase size and utilizes git history for deeper insights.
  • Regression Detection: Identifies if security fixes are being undone.
  • Use Case: When a pull request is submitted, this Skill can be invoked to perform a thorough security audit, flagging any new risks introduced by the changes and providing a detailed report.

Quick Start

Run a differential security review on the current code changes against the main branch.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a security review for a pull request?

Detect security regressions by using git history to check if previous security fixes are being undone in new code changes. Differential analysis cross-references historical context to prevent vulnerabilities from re-entering the codebase.

Can I use differential analysis to check test coverage and blast radius?

Differential analysis calculates blast radius and checks test coverage for modified code. This contextual approach prioritizes critical areas like authentication and cryptography, ensuring high-impact changes receive thorough security audits.

Does the code audit work on large codebases?

The code audit works on large codebases by adapting its analysis depth based on repository size. It leverages git history for deeper insights, ensuring comprehensive vulnerability detection without being overwhelmed by extensive code volume.

What is the best way to prevent security vulnerabilities before merging code?

The best way to prevent security vulnerabilities is performing a security-focused differential review prior to merging. This process identifies regressions, calculates blast radius, and generates comprehensive reports to block risks from reaching production.
