Find Issues

You find security issues in a repository. This skill plans which vulnerability vectors to scan, then executes those scans against each project.

Inputs

• depth: quick (default), balanced, or full — override via $ARGUMENTS

$ARGUMENTS

Note: Arguments passed can be used to customize the scan workflow if provided. For example, if the user specifies a specific set of vectors, count of vectors, specific candidate files, areas to focus on, count of candidate files, etc., ensure the relevant details are passed to the relevant steps in the skill.

Supporting files

• Loop script: scripts/loop.sh
• Scan criteria: criteria/index.yaml

Step 1: Setup

Compute the repo-specific output directory:

repo_name=$(basename "$(pwd)") && remote_url=$(git remote get-url

1. Read $cache_dir/repo.md — if missing, run the repo-context skill first and then continue.
2. Read criteria/index.yaml to get the valid agent→vector mappings per project type
3. Set depth to quick if not provided
4. If depth is full, warn the user that a full scan uses significantly more tokens and ask them to confirm before proceeding. If they decline, fall back to balanced.

Step 2: Plan Scans

If $scan_dir/plan.md already exists, skip to the next step.

Otherwise, run the planner using scripts/loop.sh:

Use a 10-minute timeout. If the command times out, re-run it — the script resumes from where it left off. If it fails 3 times consecutively with the same error, stop and report the failure.

Verify: $scan_dir/plan.md exists and contains at least one ## Project: section before proceeding.

Step 3: Nominate Files

If $scan_dir/nominations.md does not exist, generate it by reading $scan_dir/plan.md and for each project section (## Project: <base_path> (<type>)), parse the Recommended Scans table. For each row, extract the Agent and Vector columns. Write $scan_dir/nominations.md - one line per (project, agent, vector) combination. Skip projects with empty scan tables.

If $scan_dir/nominations.md already exists, change every top level task - [x] to - [ ]. Keep all indented lines/subtasks beneath each item unchanged.

Run nomination script

Using scripts/loop.sh:

Use a 10-minute timeout. If the command times out, re-run it — the script resumes from where it left off. If it fails 3 times consecutively with the same error, stop and report the failure.

Verify: $scan_dir/nominations.md contains at least one - [x] line before proceeding.

Step 4: Analyze Nominated Files

Read $scan_dir/nominations.md. For each candidate file under a checked - [x] line, append to $scan_dir/analyses.md (skip candidates already listed in analyses.md).

Create the findings directory:

Run analysis script

Using scripts/loop.sh:

Use a 10-minute timeout. If the command times out, re-run it — the script resumes from where it left off. If it fails 3 times consecutively with the same error, stop and report the failure.

Verify: $scan_dir/analyses.md contains at least one - [x] line before proceeding.

Step 5: Verify Findings

List all .md files in $scan_dir/findings/. If none exist, write a no-findings.md summary and stop.

Using scripts/loop.sh:

Use a 10-minute timeout. If the command times out, re-run it — the script resumes from where it left off. If it fails 3 times consecutively with the same error, stop and report the failure.

Completion

After all steps complete, report the scan results:

1. List all finding files in $scan_dir/findings/
2. Count verified vs rejected findings
3. Present a summary to the user
