FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze a codebase for project conventions and security risks?

To analyze a codebase for project conventions and security risks, you can run a scanning process that discovers configuration files, rule directories, and command definitions to provide actionable insights into your project's structure.

What is the best way to discover hardcoded secrets and insecure code patterns?

Discovering hardcoded secrets and insecure code patterns involves scanning the codebase to identify suspicious dependencies and overly permissive configurations, providing a security sweep with severity ratings for immediate attention.

How do I speed up developer onboarding for an unfamiliar codebase?

Speeding up developer onboarding requires quickly understanding project rules and potential security vulnerabilities, which can be achieved by scanning configuration files and agent rules to get a rapid overview of project structure and tools.

Can I get severity ratings for overly permissive configurations and suspicious dependencies?

You can get severity ratings for overly permissive configurations and suspicious dependencies by performing a security sweep that identifies insecure code patterns and hardcoded secrets with actionable risk assessments.

What is the process for summarizing agent rules and command definitions in a new project?

Summarizing agent rules and command definitions involves convention discovery, which scans for agent configuration files and rules to help you understand the project's operational guidelines and suggests registering discovered skills.
