security-scanning-security-sast
Helps your agent find security flaws in code. It's useful for making sure programs are safe before they are used.
What it does
This tool checks your code for security weaknesses, like exposed passwords or vulnerabilities hackers could exploit. It scans your code before it's used to prevent problems.
When to use it
- ✓When reviewing code to ensure it's secure.
- ✓Before releasing a new program or update.
- ✓To check if old code follows current security rules.
Example of what to ask your AI

Detailed Guide
Read the detailed guide before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.
Use this skill when
Use for code review security analysis, injection vulnerabilities, hardcoded secrets, framework-specific patterns, custom security policy enforcement, pre-deployment validation, legacy code assessment, and compliance (OWASP, PCI-DSS, SOC2).
Specialized tools: Use security-secrets.md for advanced credential scanning, security-owasp.md for Top 10 mapping, security-api.md for REST/GraphQL endpoints.
Do not use this skill when
- You only need runtime testing or penetration testing
- You cannot access the source code or build outputs
- The environment forbids third-party scanning tools
Safety
- Avoid uploading proprietary code to external services without approval.
- Require review before enabling auto-fix or blocking releases.
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
FAQ
What is 'Static Application Security Testing (SAST)'?
It's a way to test code security without running it, looking for flaws directly in the program's text.
Can I use this tool to test a running program?
No, this tool only works with source code. For testing a running program, you need different tools.
What should I do if the tool finds a problem?
The tool might suggest fixes, but it's important for an expert to review changes before applying them, especially if they are automatic.
