FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code quality review and security checks before merging code?

You can review code and tests for quality issues and security gaps by applying criteria defined in SKILL.md. The analysis flags code smells, performance concerns, and potential vulnerabilities, then documents actionable remediation steps to guide refactoring.

What is the best way to identify security vulnerabilities and code smells during a refactor?

Identify security vulnerabilities and code smells by running a comprehensive analysis that checks completed code against defined criteria. The process surfaces misconfigurations and maintainability issues, enforcing security hardening before finalizing tasks.

Does this code review process work with SCOPES.yml for task tracking?

Yes, the code review process works with SCOPES.yml by using it for task-tracking and completion gating. It enforces criteria defined in SKILL.md, ensuring code changes are reviewed and security hardened before closing tracked tasks.

Can I use this to generate actionable remediation steps for security gaps?

Yes, you can generate actionable remediation steps for security gaps by analyzing code and tests for vulnerabilities. The skill flags potential security issues and documents the specific fixes needed to pass completion gating criteria.

When do I need to run a security audit and code quality check on my project?

Run a security audit and code quality check after development phases and before merging or closing tasks. This ensures code smells, performance concerns, and potential vulnerabilities are identified and remediated prior to finalization.
