sast-skills

Turn your LLM coding assistant into a fully featured SAST scanner. Drop-in agent skills for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor, and any assistant that loads CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md skill folders.

Claude Code with Opus is recommended for quality; any capable model works.

Highlights

31 skills across 28 vulnerability classes — injection, broken access control, weak crypto, file handling, supply chain, business logic, and LLM-specific risks (prompt injection, insecure output handling).
Four-phase orchestration — reconnaissance → parallel detection → consolidated report → evidence-based triage, driven entirely from CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md.
Idempotent & resumable — each phase skips work whose output already exists; re-run after fixing issues to refresh only what's stale.
Machine-readable output — every skill emits canonical JSON; sast-skills export aggregates to JSON, SARIF 2.1.0, or HTML for GitHub Code Scanning and CI.
Cross-assistant — identical skills ship for Claude Code (.claude/skills) and every AGENTS.md assistant (.agents/skills).
Zero-config CLI — install / update / uninstall / doctor / export, published from GitHub Actions with npm provenance (SLSA attestation).

Flow

The orchestrator executes four phases — reconnaissance, parallel detection, synthesis, and triage:

flowchart TD
    U(["User: Run vulnerability scan"]) --> R{"CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md orchestrator"}
    R --> S1["Step 1 — sast-analysis<br/>codebase and architecture map"]
    S1 -->|sast/architecture.md| S2["Step 2 — parallel vulnerability scan<br/>28 skills: recon, batched verify, merge"]
    S2 -->|sast/*-results.md and *-results.json| S3["Step 3 — sast-report<br/>consolidate and rank"]
    S3 -->|sast/final-report.md| S4["Step 4 — sast-triage<br/>false-positive elimination,<br/>severity adjustment with evidence"]
    S4 -->|sast/final-report-triaged.md and triaged.json| EXP["npx sast-skills export<br/>JSON, SARIF, HTML"]
    EXP --> CS(["GitHub Code Scanning, CI, dashboards"])

Every step is idempotent: if its output file already exists, the orchestrator skips it. Re-run the scan after fixing issues to refresh only what's stale.

What it detects

All skills follow the same three-phase pattern: recon → batched verify (parallel subagents, 3 per batch) → merge. Each writes a human-readable markdown report and a canonical JSON findings file that sast-skills export aggregates.

Installation

npx sast-skills install

The installer asks which assistant to target (claude / agents / all) and whether to install into the current project or your user home directory (project / global). To skip prompts:

npx sast-skills install --yes --assistant claude --scope project

If your project already contains a CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md, the installer refuses to clobber it by default — back it up or pass --force.

Manual install (without `npx` / npm)

Use this path if you can't run npx (corporate proxy, npm registry unreachable, offline environment) or if you want to pin to this fork's source rather than the published npm package. The CLI installer only does two things — drop the orchestrator entry file at the project root and mirror each skill's SKILL.md into the right hidden directory — so a plain cp -R reproduces it exactly.

1. Get the bundled files

git clone https://github.com/mstfknn/sast-skills.git

Everything you need lives under sast-skills/sast-files/:

sast-files/
├── CLAUDE.md                       # Orchestrator entry for Claude Code
├── AGENTS.md                       # Orchestrator entry for Gemini CLI / Codex / OpenCode / Cursor
├── .claude/skills/sast-*/SKILL.md  # 31 skills in Claude Code format
└── .agents/skills/sast-*/SKILL.md  # Same 31 skills mirrored for AGENTS.md assistants

The two skill trees are kept in sync by npm run sync — content is identical, only the directory name differs.

2a. Install for Claude Code

Set SAST_SRC to the clone path so the commands below stay copy-pasteable:

export SAST_SRC=/absolute/path/to/sast-skills
cd /path/to/your-project

Project scope (recommended — versioned alongside your repo):

cp "$SAST_SRC/sast-files/CLAUDE.md" ./CLAUDE.md
cp -R "$SAST_SRC/sast-files/.claude" ./

If you already use a project-level CLAUDE.md, do not overwrite it — Claude Code reads only one CLAUDE.md per project. Merge the orchestrator content (the four-phase flow) into your existing file instead.

Global scope (skills available in every project; orchestrator still copied per-project):

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R "$SAST_SRC/sast-files/.claude/skills/." ~/.claude/skills/
# Then in any project where you want the scan flow:
cp "$SAST_SRC/sast-files/CLAUDE.md" /path/to/your-project/CLAUDE.md

2b. Install for Gemini CLI (and other `AGENTS.md` assistants)

export SAST_SRC=/absolute/path/to/sast-skills
cd /path/to/your-project
cp "$SAST_SRC/sast-files/AGENTS.md" ./AGENTS.md
cp -R "$SAST_SRC/sast-files/.agents" ./

AGENTS.md is the cross-assistant convention honored by Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and Cursor. If your version of Gemini CLI looks for GEMINI.md instead, rename it — the content is unchanged:

mv AGENTS.md GEMINI.md

3. Verify the install

# Project scope (Claude Code)
ls CLAUDE.md && ls .claude/skills/ | head

# Project scope (Gemini / AGENTS.md)
ls AGENTS.md && ls .agents/skills/ | head

# Global scope (Claude Code)
ls ~/.claude/skills/ | head

You should see all 31 sast-* skill directories. Open the project in your assistant and prompt "Run vulnerability scan" — the orchestrator inside CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md drives the four phases from there.

4. Keeping a manual install up to date

cd "$SAST_SRC" && git pull
# Re-run the cp commands from Step 2a / 2b to refresh — they're idempotent.

If you keep the clone around, cd "$SAST_SRC" && git pull && <rerun cp> is the manual equivalent of npx sast-skills update.

CLI commands

Command	What it does
`npx sast-skills install`	Copy `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md` and the skill tree into your project or `$HOME`
`npx sast-skills update`	Refresh an existing install with the currently bundled skill files
`npx sast-skills uninstall`	Remove installed skills; refuses to drop a modified `CLAUDE.md` without `--force`
`npx sast-skills doctor`	Verify an install and report `OK` / `MISSING` / `MODIFIED` per file; exits non-zero on issues
`npx sast-skills export --input sast/ --format sarif --output report.sarif`	Aggregate `sast/*-results.json` into JSON, SARIF 2.1.0, or HTML
`npx sast-skills export --input sast/ --triaged --format sarif`	Prefer the triaged `sast/triaged.json` over raw per-skill results
`npx sast-skills --version`	Print the installed CLI version

Install-time flags

Flag	Purpose
`--yes`	Non-interactive; required when stdin is not a TTY
`--assistant <claude\|agents\|all>`	Which skill tree to install
`--scope <project\|global>`	Install into `./.claude/skills/` or `$HOME/.claude/skills/`
`--target <path>`	Explicit install target (overrides `--scope`)
`--force`	Overwrite a pre-existing `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md`
`--dry-run`	Print the file plan without writing

Running a scan

After installing, open the project in your AI assistant and ask:

Run vulnerability scan

Find vulnerabilities in this codebase

The orchestrator takes over. It runs all four phases automatically, respects idempotency (re-runs only pick up what's missing), and writes everything into sast/ in your project root.

Output files

File	Description
`sast/architecture.md`	Technology stack, architecture, entry points, data flows
`sast/*-results.md`	Per-vulnerability-class findings (human-readable)
`sast/*-results.json`	Canonical machine-readable findings (fed to `sast-skills export`)
`sast/final-report.md`	Consolidated raw report ranked by severity
`sast/final-report-triaged.md`	Triaged report — false positives removed, severities adjusted with evidence
`sast/triaged.json`	Canonical triaged findings (preferred by `sast-skills export --triaged`)

Finding schema

Each skill writes sast/<skill>-results.json as a bare findings list:

{
  "findings": [
    {
      "id": "sast-sqli-0001",
      "skill": "sast-sqli",
      "severity": "critical|high|medium|low|info",
      "title": "SQL injection in /api/user",
      "description": "…",
      "location": { "file": "src/api/user.js", "line": 42, "column": 10 },
      "remediation": "…"
    }
  ]
}

sast-skills export aggregates those files into one document wrapped in a run envelope — { "run": { "tool": "sast-skills", "version": "<cli-version>" }, "findings": [...] } — stamping the version of the CLI that produced the report. The triage step writes sast/triaged.json in that same enveloped shape.

Triaged findings add triage_status (confirmed|upgraded|downgraded|false_positive), triage_original_severity (when severity changed), and triage_evidence with concrete codebase citations.

CI integrations

GitHub Code Scanning (SARIF)

Composite action at .github/actions/scan/action.yml:

- uses: mstfknn/sast-skills/.github/actions/scan@main
  with:
    input: sast/
    output: sast-skills.sarif

This runs sast-skills export --format sarif and uploads the result to Code Scanning via github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v3.

Pre-commit hook

Copy hooks/pre-commit into .git/hooks/pre-commit to make sast-skills doctor gate every commit.

Docker

docker build -t sast-skills .
docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/work" sast-skills export --input sast/ --format sarif --output report.sarif

The bundled Dockerfile is node:20-alpine-based with sast-skills set as the entrypoint.

Verify & troubleshoot

# Is the install in the expected shape?
npx sast-skills doctor --target . --assistant claude

# Version check
npx sast-skills --version
npm view sast-skills version    # latest on the registry

# Upgrade
npx sast-skills update

doctor exits 0 if every bundled file in the target matches the installed version's copy, and 1 if any file is MISSING or MODIFIED. MODIFIED means the file diverged from the bundled copy — expected if you edit the entry file, otherwise a signal to run update.

node scripts/scaffold-skill.js sast-foo   # stub a new skill in both trees
node scripts/register-skill.js sast-foo foo "Foo" "Foo injection description"
npm run lint:md                           # markdownlint

prepublishOnly runs npm run sync && npm test — a dirty mirror or a red test aborts npm publish.
