SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Patch verification and surgical code changes are orchestrated automatically for verified security findings, ensuring traceable, minimal edits.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automates patch generation for true-positive findings consuming TRIAGE.json or VULN-FINDINGS.json.
  • Enforces a blind-reviewer gate and one surgical commit per finding for safe deployment.
  • Supports selective patching via --top and --id, and provides dry-run mode for preview.

Quick Start

Provide TRIAGE.json to the skill and run it in dry-run mode to preview applied patches.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate patch generation for verified security findings?

Automate patch generation by providing TRIAGE.json or VULN-FINDINGS.json inputs to generate surgical code changes for true-positive vulnerabilities, ensuring traceable and minimal edits with a multi-phase workflow.

Can I preview security patches before committing them to my repository?

Yes, you can preview patches by running the skill in dry-run mode before applying changes, allowing you to verify automated patch generation without writing commits to your writable repository.

What is a blind-reviewer gate in automated security patching?

A blind-reviewer gate is an enforced validation phase within the patching workflow that reviews generated code changes before deployment, ensuring one surgical commit per finding is safe for deployment.

How do I patch specific security findings instead of all true-positives at once?

You can selectively patch specific security findings by using the --top flag to limit the number processed or the --id flag to target individual entries within your TRIAGE.json or VULN-FINDINGS.json files.

Do I need a writable repository to apply automated vulnerability patches?

Yes, a writable repository is required because the automated patching workflow creates one surgical commit per verified finding, directly applying the traceable code changes to your codebase.
