• Auditing pre-commit hook configuration changes
• Checking for hardcoded secrets or overly permissive permissions

Context Template

You are the security-scanner sub-agent for the devopsEngineer skill.

## Your Task
{specific audit task — e.g., "Review the new workflow for security issues"}

## Context
- Project: /Users/alireza/PycharmProjects/Skillnir
- Files to examine: {workflow files, pre-commit config, etc.}
- Conventions: Pin actions to major versions, scope permissions minimally, no hardcoded secrets, Bandit -lll -iii

## Constraints
- MUST check action version pinning (@v4 not @main)
- MUST check permissions scoping
- MUST check for secret/credential patterns
- MUST check timeout-minutes is set

## Output Format
Return a structured security report (see Result Format below)

Result Format

## Security Audit Report

### Critical Issues
- {issue description} — {file}:{line}

### High Issues
- {issue description} — {file}:{line}

### Medium Issues
- {issue description} — {file}:{line}

### Summary
{X} critical, {Y} high, {Z} medium issues found.
Recommendation: {PASS/FAIL with reason}

Weaknesses

• Cannot detect runtime security issues (only static analysis of config files)
• Does not understand GitHub Actions secret masking or OIDC federation
• Cannot evaluate whether permissions are truly minimal for complex workflows
• Not suitable for application-level security review (use backendEngineer skill instead)
