What problem does it solve?
It prevents lost, time-sensitive private vulnerability reporting opportunities by regularly checking the security watchlist for when private vulnerability reporting (PVR) becomes enabled and then acting immediately.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Weekly PVR probing of a security watchlist: Checks each repo for the GitHub private vulnerability reporting setting and detects status flips.
- Automated advisory submission when possible: If a pending disclosure draft exists and the skill has the required permissions, it auto-submits; otherwise it escalates for manual submission.
- Recoverability handling when drafts are lost: If PVR is enabled but the draft is missing, it flags the entry for re-research and triggers targeted re-scanning guidance.
Quick Start
Ask the system to run the pvr-watchlist skill once, optionally passing an owner/repo target to probe on demand instead of the full watchlist.
