Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00208 | $0.04592 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00083 | $0.01837 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00918 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00459 |
Grade A, and why
cx-devassist-kics scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 320 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CX DevAssist KICS
Detects and remediates IaC misconfigurations in Dockerfile, Terraform, Kubernetes YAML, and other Infrastructure-as-Code files using Checkmarx KICS.
When to Use
This skill has two entry points:
- On-demand scan — User asks to scan an IaC file for misconfigurations (e.g., "scan this
Dockerfile", "check main.tf for issues"). If the target is source code use
cx-devassist-ascainstead; if it is a dependency manifest/lockfile usecx-devassist-scainstead. - Remediation — User asks to fix KICS findings, or Codex needs to fix IaC misconfigurations detected by KICS.
If KICS findings are already present in context (e.g., provided by a hook block or a prior scan result), skip Flow 1 entirely and proceed directly to Flow 2 using those findings. Do not run the initial scan; Flow 2's re-scan still applies.
Routing — which Checkmarx capability to use
Pick by the target, and ask if it is ambiguous:
| The user wants to scan… | Use |
|---|---|
A source code file (.py, .js, .java, .go, .ts, …) for code vulnerabilities |
cx-devassist-asca (SAST) |
| A dependency manifest / lockfile (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, pom.xml, …) | cx-devassist-sca (SCA/OSS) |
An IaC file (Dockerfile, *.tf, *.yaml/*.yml, *.json IaC templates, *.auto.tfvars, *.terraform.tfvars, *.proto) for infrastructure misconfigurations |
this skill (IaC/KICS) |
| An entire project / repository at cloud scale, or existing platform scan results | the Checkmarx MCP (Cx1 cloud) tools |
A bare "scan this file" refers to whatever file is in context: an IaC file → this skill; source code →
cx-devassist-asca; a manifest/lockfile → cx-devassist-sca. If it is unclear which, ask the user.
Prerequisites
- Checkmarx
cxCLI installed. On a first-install sessioncxis in the canonical store but not yet on the agent shell's PATH, so invoke it by its absolute path —"$LOCALAPPDATA/Checkmarx/cx/cx.exe"on Windows,"$HOME/.checkmarx/bin/cx"on Unix (these env vars are available in the agent's shell) — and fall back to a barecxonly when it is already on PATH. - Checkmarx MCP server connected (required for remediation)
- A running container engine (Docker/Podman) — required by the scan itself, see Error Handling below.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cx-devassist-kics is a skill published in the GitHub repository Checkmarx/cx-agentic-ai (0 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 208 tokens to every session and 4,592 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-23.
