Security Skill

Purpose: Run repeatable security checks across code, scripts, hooks, and release gates.

Use this skill when you need deterministic security validation before merge/release, or recurring scheduled checks.

Quick Start

/security                      # quick security gate
/security --full               # full gate with test-inclusive toolchain checks
/security --release            # full gate for release readiness
/security --json               # machine-readable report output

Execution Contract

1) Pre-PR (fast)

Run quick gate:

scripts/security-gate.sh --mode quick

Expected behavior:

Fails on high/critical findings from available scanners.
Writes artifacts under $TMPDIR/agentops-security/<run-id>/.

2) Pre-Release (strict)

Run full gate:

scripts/security-gate.sh --mode full

Expected behavior:

Full scanner pass before release workflow can continue.
Artifacts retained for audit and incident response.

3) Nightly (continuous)

Nightly workflow should run:

scripts/security-gate.sh --mode full

Expected behavior:

Detects drift/regressions outside active PR windows.
Failing run creates actionable signal in workflow summary/issues.

Triage Guidance

When gate fails:

Open latest artifact in $TMPDIR/agentops-security/ and identify scanner + file.
Classify severity (critical/high/medium).
Fix immediately for critical/high or create tracked follow-up issue with owner.
Re-run scripts/security-gate.sh until gate passes.

Reporting Template

Security gate run: <run-id>
Mode: <quick|full>
Result: <pass|blocked>
Top findings:
- <scanner> <severity> <file> <summary>
Actions:
- <fix or issue id>

Notes

Use this as the canonical security runbook instead of ad-hoc scanner commands.
Keep workflow wiring aligned with this contract in:
- .github/workflows/validate.yml
- .github/workflows/nightly.yml
- .github/workflows/release.yml
For binary/internal black-box assurance plus offline repo-surface redteam, use:
- skills/security-suite/SKILL.md (includes security_suite.py and prompt_redteam.py)
For dependency vulnerability and license scanning, use:
- deps — Dependency audit, vulnerability scanning, and license compliance

Examples

Scenario: Quick Security Gate Before Opening a PR

User says: /security

What happens:

The skill runs scripts/security-gate.sh --mode quick, which executes available scanners (semgrep, gosec, gitleaks) against the current working tree and flags high/critical findings.
Run /deps vuln to scan for vulnerable dependencies (OWASP A06: Vulnerable and Outdated Components).
Scan artifacts are written to $TMPDIR/agentops-security/<run-id>/ for review, and the gate reports a pass/blocked verdict.

Result: The gate passes with no high/critical findings, confirming the branch is safe to open a PR.

Scenario: Full Security Gate for a Release

User says: /security --release

What happens:

The skill runs scripts/security-gate.sh --mode full, which performs a comprehensive scan including all scanner passes, test-inclusive toolchain checks, and stricter severity thresholds.
Artifacts are retained under $TMPDIR/agentops-security/<run-id>/ for audit trail and incident response, and a structured report is generated.

Result: The full gate blocks the release on two medium-severity findings in cli/internal/config.go; the operator triages and fixes them before re-running the gate to get a clean pass.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause	Solution
Gate reports "scanner not found" and skips checks	Required scanner (semgrep, gosec, or gitleaks) is not installed	Install the missing scanner: `brew install semgrep`, `go install github.com/securego/gosec/v2/cmd/gosec@latest`, or `brew install gitleaks`.
Gate passes locally but fails in CI	CI environment has additional scanners or stricter config	Compare `$TMPDIR/agentops-security/` artifacts from both environments; align scanner versions and config files across local and CI.
False positive blocking the gate	Scanner flags a non-issue as high/critical severity	Add a scanner-specific inline suppression comment (e.g., `# nosemgrep: rule-id`) or update the scanner config to exclude the pattern, then document the suppression reason.
Artifacts directory `$TMPDIR/agentops-security/` not created	Script lacks write permissions or `$TMPDIR` is not writable	Verify `$TMPDIR` is set and writable; the script auto-creates subdirectories on each run.
Nightly scan not detecting regressions	Nightly workflow is not configured or is pointing at stale branch	Verify `.github/workflows/nightly.yml` runs `scripts/security-gate.sh --mode full` against the correct branch (typically `main`).

how to use security

How to use security on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with node --version)
›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add security

Execute installation command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/boshu2/agentops --skill security

The skills CLI fetches security from GitHub repository boshu2/agentops and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?

│

│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────

│ • Amp

│ • Antigravity

│ • Cline

│ • Codex

│ ●Cursor(selected)

│ • Cursor

│ • Windsurf

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/security

Reload or restart Cursor to activate security. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /security) or your agent's skill management interface.

⚠

Security & Verification Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.
