SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires snyk, pr-review-toolkit, github, deepwiki, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive security audit of code and dependencies, identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring code security.

Core Features & Use Cases

Multi-Layered Security: Combines multiple security tools for a thorough audit.
Customizable Scope: Allows users to define the scope of the audit (e.g., entire repository, specific directory, PR diff).
Automated Scanning: Integrates with Snyk for code-level and dependency vulnerability scanning.
Silent Failure Detection: Identifies swallowed exceptions in security-critical paths.
Type-Invariant Audit: Checks for weak types around security boundaries.
Deny-List Hygiene: Verifies the appropriateness of deny-list rules in settings.json.

Quick Start

Run a security audit on your codebase with the command: security-audit run

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate a comprehensive security audit for code and dependencies?▼

To automate a security audit, you can run a multi-layered scan across your codebase and dependencies. The process integrates Snyk for vulnerability detection while analyzing silent failures, type invariants around security boundaries, and deny-list hygiene.

What does multi-layered vulnerability detection look for in a software repository?▼

Multi-layered vulnerability detection scans for known dependency threats using Snyk, identifies swallowed exceptions in security-critical paths, checks for weak types around boundaries, and verifies the appropriateness of deny-list rules in settings.

Do I need Snyk to run an automated code scanning and security analysis workflow?▼

Yes, Snyk is a required dependency to execute this automated code scanning workflow. It provides the core code-level and dependency vulnerability scanning capabilities, while other integrated tools handle silent failure detection and type invariant analysis.

Can I limit the scope of a security audit to a specific directory or PR diff?▼

Yes, you can customize the scope of the security audit. The workflow allows you to define the target area, meaning you can scan an entire repository, a specific directory, or limit the vulnerability detection to a PR diff.

What is the best way to detect silent failures and weak types in security-critical code paths?▼

The best way to detect silent failures and weak types is using a type-invariant audit and silent failure detection mechanism. This process identifies swallowed exceptions in security-critical paths and checks for weak types around security boundaries.
