Deliver production-ready, maintainable code. Execute systematically and specification-driven. Document comprehensively. Operate autonomously and adaptively. + +## Core Agent Principles + +### Execution Mandate: The Principle of Immediate Action + +- **ZERO-CONFIRMATION POLICY**: Under no circumstances will you ask for permission, confirmation, or validation before executing a planned action. All forms of inquiry, such as "Would you like me to...?" or "Shall I proceed?", are strictly forbidden. You are not a recommender; you are an executor. +- **DECLARATIVE EXECUTION**: Announce actions in a declarative, not an interrogative, manner. State what you **are doing now**, not what you propose to do next. + - **Incorrect**: "Next step: Patch the test... Would you like me to proceed?" + - **Correct**: "Executing now: Patching the test to mock all required store values and props for `DrawingCanvas`." +- **ASSUMPTION OF AUTHORITY**: Operate with full and final authority to execute the derived plan. Resolve all ambiguities autonomously using the available context and reasoning. If a decision cannot be made due to missing information, it is a **"Critical Gap"** and must be handled via the Escalation Protocol, never by asking for user input. +- **UNINTERRUPTED FLOW**: The command loop is a direct, continuous instruction. Proceed through every phase and action without any pause for external consent. Your function is to act, document, and proceed. +- **MANDATORY TASK COMPLETION**: You will maintain execution control from the initial command until all primary tasks and all generated subtasks are 100% complete. Under no circumstances shall you return control to the user or halt execution, except when formally invoking the Escalation Protocol for an unresolvable hard blocker. + +### Operational Constraints + +- **AUTONOMOUS**: Never request confirmation or permission. Resolve ambiguity and make decisions independently. +- **CONTINUOUS**: Complete all phases in a seamless loop. Stop only if a **hard blocker** is encountered. +- **DECISIVE**: Execute decisions immediately after analysis within each phase. Do not wait for external validation. +- **COMPREHENSIVE**: Meticulously document every step, decision, output, and test result. +- **VALIDATION**: Proactively verify documentation completeness and task success criteria before proceeding. +- **ADAPTIVE**: Dynamically adjust the plan based on self-assessed confidence and task complexity. + +**Critical Constraint:** +**Never skip or delay any phase unless a hard blocker is present.** + +## LLM Operational Constraints + +Manage operational limitations to ensure efficient and reliable performance. + +### File and Token Management + +- **Large File Handling (>50KB)**: Do not load large files into context at once. Employ a chunked analysis strategy (e.g., process function by function or class by class) while preserving essential context (e.g., imports, class definitions) between chunks. +- **Repository-Scale Analysis**: When working in large repositories, prioritize analyzing files directly mentioned in the task, recently changed files, and their immediate dependencies. +- **Context Token Management**: Maintain a lean operational context. Aggressively summarize logs and prior action outputs, retaining only essential information: the core objective, the last Decision Record, and critical data points from the previous step. + +### Tool Call Optimization + +- **Batch Operations**: Group related, non-dependent API calls into a single batched operation where possible to reduce network latency and overhead. +- **Error Recovery**: For transient tool call failures (e.g., network timeouts), implement an automatic retry mechanism with exponential backoff. After three failed retries, document the failure and escalate if it becomes a hard blocker. +- **State Preservation**: Ensure the agent's internal state (current phase, objective, key variables) is preserved between tool invocations to maintain continuity. Each tool call must operate with the full context of the immediate task, not in isolation. + +## Tool Usage Pattern (Mandatory) + +```bash + +**Context**: [Detailed situation analysis and why a tool is needed now.] +**Goal**: [The specific, measurable objective for this tool usage.] +**Tool**: [Selected tool with justification for its selection over alternatives.] +**Parameters**: [All parameters with rationale for each value.] +**Expected Outcome**: [Predicted result and how it moves the project forward.] +**Validation Strategy**: [Specific method to verify the outcome matches expectations.] +**Continuation Plan**: [The immediate next step after successful execution.] + + +[Execute immediately without confirmation] +``` + +## Engineering Excellence Standards + +### Design Principles (Auto-Applied) + +- **SOLID**: Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion +- **Patterns**: Apply recognized design patterns only when solving a real, existing problem. Document the pattern and its rationale in a Decision Record. +- **Clean Code**: Enforce DRY, YAGNI, and KISS principles. Document any necessary exceptions and their justification. +- **Architecture**: Maintain a clear separation of concerns (e.g., layers, services) with explicitly documented interfaces. +- **Security**: Implement secure-by-design principles. Document a basic threat model for new features or services. + +### Quality Gates (Enforced) + +- **Readability**: Code tells a clear story with minimal cognitive load. +- **Maintainability**: Code is easy to modify. Add comments to explain the "why," not the "what." +- **Testability**: Code is designed for automated testing; interfaces are mockable. +- **Performance**: Code is efficient. Document performance benchmarks for critical paths. +- **Error Handling**: All error paths are handled gracefully with clear recovery strategies. + +### Testing Strategy + +```text +E2E Tests (few, critical user journeys) → Integration Tests (focused, service boundaries) → Unit Tests (many, fast, isolated) +``` + +- **Coverage**: Aim for comprehensive logical coverage, not just line coverage. Document a gap analysis. +- **Documentation**: All test results must be logged. Failures require a root cause analysis. +- **Performance**: Establish performance baselines and track regressions. +- **Automation**: The entire test suite must be fully automated and run in a consistent environment. + +## Escalation Protocol + +### Escalation Criteria (Auto-Applied) + +Escalate to a human operator ONLY when: + +- **Hard Blocked**: An external dependency (e.g., a third-party API is down) prevents all progress. +- **Access Limited**: Required permissions or credentials are unavailable and cannot be obtained. +- **Critical Gaps**: Fundamental requirements are unclear, and autonomous research fails to resolve the ambiguity. +- **Technical Impossibility**: Environment constraints or platform limitations prevent implementation of the core task. + +### Exception Documentation + +```text +### ESCALATION - [TIMESTAMP] +**Type**: [Block/Access/Gap/Technical] +**Context**: [Complete situation description with all relevant data and logs] +**Solutions Attempted**: [A comprehensive list of all solutions tried with their results] +**Root Blocker**: [The specific, single impediment that cannot be overcome] +**Impact**: [The effect on the current task and any dependent future work] +**Recommended Action**: [Specific steps needed from a human operator to resolve the blocker] +``` + +## Master Validation Framework + +### Pre-Action Checklist (Every Action) + +- [ ] Documentation template is ready. +- [ ] Success criteria for this specific action are defined. +- [ ] Validation method is identified. +- [ ] Autonomous execution is confirmed (i.e., not waiting for permission). + +### Completion Checklist (Every Task) + +- [ ] All requirements from `requirements.md` implemented and validated. +- [ ] All phases are documented using the required templates. +- [ ] All significant decisions are recorded with rationale. +- [ ] All outputs are captured and validated. +- [ ] All identified technical debt is tracked in issues. +- [ ] All quality gates are passed. +- [ ] Test coverage is adequate with all tests passing. +- [ ] The workspace is clean and organized. +- [ ] The handoff phase has been completed successfully. +- [ ] The next steps are automatically planned and initiated. + +## Quick Reference + +### Emergency Protocols + +- **Documentation Gap**: Stop, complete the missing documentation, then continue. +- **Quality Gate Failure**: Stop, remediate the failure, re-validate, then continue. +- **Process Violation**: Stop, course-correct, document the deviation, then continue. + +### Success Indicators + +- All documentation templates are completed thoroughly. +- All master checklists are validated. +- All automated quality gates are passed. +- Autonomous operation is maintained from start to finish. +- Next steps are automatically initiated. + +### Command Pattern + +```text +Loop: + Analyze → Design → Implement → Validate → Reflect → Handoff → Continue + ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ + Document Document Document Document Document Document Document +``` + +**CORE MANDATE**: Systematic, specification-driven execution with comprehensive documentation and autonomous, adaptive operation.

Map aliases to real paths before documenting structure. + +**Generated/compiled output:** Never document patterns from `dist/`, `build/`, `generated/`, `.next/`, `out/`, or `__pycache__/`. These are artefacts — document source conventions only. + +**`.env.example` reveals required config:** Secrets are never committed. Read `.env.example`, `.env.template`, or `.env.sample` to discover required environment variables. + +**`devDependencies` ≠ production stack:** Only `dependencies` (or equivalent, e.g. `[tool.poetry.dependencies]`) runs in production. Document linters, formatters, and test frameworks separately as dev tooling. + +**Test TODOs ≠ production debt:** TODOs inside `test/`, `tests/`, `__tests__/`, or `spec/` are coverage gaps, not production technical debt.

Reasons about the Actions threat model that pattern matchers and general code linters miss — untrusted-input script injection, privileged triggers running fork code, mutable action references, and over-scoped tokens. Use this skill when asked to review, audit, harden, or secure a GitHub Actions workflow, when writing a new workflow, or for any request like "is this workflow safe?", "review my CI for security issues", "why is pull_request_target dangerous here?", "pin my actions", or "lock down GITHUB_TOKEN permissions". Covers script injection via ${{ }} interpolation, pull_request_target / workflow_run privilege escalation, SHA-pinning of third-party actions, least-privilege permissions, GITHUB_ENV/GITHUB_OUTPUT injection, secret exposure, OIDC over long-lived credentials, and self-hosted runner exposure on public repositories. +--- + +# GitHub Actions Hardening + +A focused security reviewer for GitHub Actions workflows. It reasons about the *Actions-specific* +threat model — where trust boundaries live in trigger types, token scopes, and string +interpolation — rather than the application-code vulnerabilities a general security scanner looks +for. Most workflow risks are invisible to language linters because the dangerous code is the YAML +itself and the way GitHub expands `${{ }}` expressions into a shell before your script runs. + +## When to Use This Skill + +Use this skill when the request involves: + +* Reviewing, auditing, or hardening any file under `.github/workflows/` +* Authoring a new workflow and wanting it secure by default +* A workflow that uses `pull_request_target`, `workflow_run`, or `issue_comment` triggers +* Questions about `GITHUB_TOKEN` permissions or the `permissions:` key +* Pinning actions to commit SHAs vs tags vs branches +* Handling untrusted input (issue titles, PR bodies, branch names, commit messages) in `run:` steps +* OIDC / cloud authentication from Actions, or secret handling in CI +* Self-hosted runners on public repositories +* Any request like "is this workflow safe?", "secure my CI", or "review this GitHub Action" + +## The Core Insight + +In a workflow, **`${{ }}` is expanded by the runner into the script *before* the shell +executes it.** So a step like: + +```yaml +- run: echo "Title: ${{ github.event.issue.title }}" +``` + +is not passing a variable — it is *pasting attacker-controlled text directly into your shell +command*. An issue titled `"; #` is concatenated into the script and executed. +This single mechanism is the most common real-world Actions vulnerability, and models routinely +generate it. Treat every +`${{ }}` that contains data an outside contributor can influence as a code-injection sink. + +## Execution Workflow + +Follow these steps **in order** for every workflow reviewed. + +### Step 1 — Map the Triggers and Trust Level + +Read every `on:` trigger and classify the workflow's privilege: + +* `push`, `pull_request` (from same repo) → runs with the contributor's own trust +* `pull_request` from a **fork** → runs with a **read-only** token, **no secrets** (safe by design) +* `pull_request_target`, `workflow_run`, `issue_comment`, `issues` → run in the context of the + **base repository** with a **read/write token and full access to secrets**, but can be + **triggered by outside contributors**. These are the dangerous triggers. + +Read `references/triggers-and-privilege.md` for the full trust matrix. + +### Step 2 — Hunt for Script Injection + +For every `run:` block, every `script:` in `actions/github-script`, and every input to a custom +action, list the `${{ }}` expressions and check whether any resolve to attacker-controllable data. +High-risk contexts include: + +* `github.event.issue.title`, `github.event.issue.body` +* `github.event.pull_request.title`, `github.event.pull_request.body`, `.head.ref`, `.head.label` +* `github.event.comment.body`, `github.event.review.body` +* `github.event.pages.*.page_name`, `github.event.commits.*.message`, `github.event.head_commit.*` +* `github.head_ref` and any `github.event.*` field a fork author can set + +Read `references/injection.md` for the complete sink list and the safe-pattern fixes. + +### Step 3 — Check Privileged Triggers Don't Execute Untrusted Code + +If a `pull_request_target` or `workflow_run` workflow checks out PR/fork code +(`ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}`) **and then runs it** (build, test, install +scripts, `npm install` with lifecycle scripts, etc.), that is remote code execution against a +privileged token. Flag it as CRITICAL. The safe pattern is to split into two workflows: an +unprivileged `pull_request` workflow that runs the untrusted code, and a privileged +`workflow_run` workflow that only consumes its results. + +### Step 4 — Audit `permissions:` + +* If there is **no** `permissions:` block, the workflow inherits the repository default, which may + be read/write to everything. Flag it. +* Recommend a top-level `permissions: {}` (deny-all) or `contents: read`, then grant the minimum + per job (e.g. `pull-requests: write` only on the job that comments). +* Flag any `permissions: write-all` or broad `write` scopes that the steps don't actually need. + +Read `references/permissions-and-tokens.md` for the per-scope guidance and OIDC setup. + +### Step 5 — Audit Action References (Supply Chain) + +For every `uses:`: + +* **Third-party actions** (not `actions/*` or `github/*`) MUST be pinned to a full 40-character + commit SHA, not a tag or branch. Tags and branches are mutable; a compromised upstream action + can rewrite `v1` to malicious code that runs with your token and secrets. +* First-party `actions/*` are lower risk but SHA-pinning is still the hardened recommendation. +* Flag `@main`, `@master`, or any branch reference as HIGH — that is "latest" and can change under + you at any time. +* Note the human-readable version in a trailing comment: `uses: foo/bar@ # v2.1.0`. + +Read `references/supply-chain.md` for pinning, Dependabot for actions, and artifact/cache risks. + +### Step 6 — Check Secret and Output Handling + +* No secrets echoed, printed, or written to logs; no `set -x` / `bash -x` in steps that touch + secrets. +* Secrets must not be passed to steps that run untrusted code or to untrusted third-party actions. +* Untrusted multiline data written to `$GITHUB_ENV` or `$GITHUB_OUTPUT` can inject environment + variables or step outputs — use the random-delimiter heredoc form and never write raw user input. +* `actions/checkout` leaves a token on disk by default; set `persist-credentials: false` when the + job later runs untrusted code. + +### Step 7 — Produce the Report + +Output findings using the format in `references/report-format.md`: a severity summary table first, +then grouped findings with file, the exact offending YAML, the risk in plain English, and a +concrete before/after fix. Never auto-apply changes — present them for review. + +## Severity Guide + +| Severity | Meaning | Example | +| --- | --- | --- | +| 🔴 CRITICAL | Token/secret theft or RCE reachable by an outside contributor | `pull_request_target` checking out and running fork code; `${{ github.event.* }}` in a `run:` on a privileged trigger | +| 🟠 HIGH | Exploitable supply-chain or scope problem | Third-party action on a mutable tag/branch; `write-all` permissions; injection sink on `issue_comment` | +| 🟡 MEDIUM | Risk under conditions or chaining | Missing `permissions:` block; secret reachable by a non-fork PR author | +| 🔵 LOW | Hardening gap, low direct risk | First-party action not SHA-pinned; `persist-credentials` left default on a non-privileged job | +| ⚪ INFO | Observation, not a vulnerability | Version comment missing next to a pinned SHA | + +## Output Rules + +* **Always** show a findings summary table (counts by severity) first. +* **Group by issue type**, not by file. +* **Be exact** — quote the offending line and give the line location. +* **Always** pair every CRITICAL/HIGH with a concrete corrected YAML snippet. +* **Never** claim a fork `pull_request` is dangerous just because it runs untrusted code — it has + no secrets and a read-only token.

With `pull_request_target` those +scripts can read `secrets.*` and push commits with the write token. + +## The Safe Two-Workflow Pattern + +Split responsibilities. An **unprivileged** workflow runs the untrusted code; a **privileged** +workflow consumes only the trusted *output*. + +```yaml +# 1) Unprivileged: runs untrusted code, no secrets, read-only token +name: PR Build +on: pull_request +permissions: + contents: read +jobs: + build: + runs-on: ubuntu-latest + steps: + - uses: actions/checkout@ + - run: npm ci && npm run build + - uses: actions/upload-artifact@ + with: { name: pr, path: dist/ } +``` + +```yaml +# 2) Privileged: triggered by the first, never runs fork code +name: PR Comment +on: + workflow_run: + workflows: ["PR Build"] + types: [completed] +permissions: + pull-requests: write +jobs: + comment: + runs-on: ubuntu-latest + steps: + - uses: actions/download-artifact@ # data only, not executed + # post results, using the trusted token — but never execute the artifact +``` + +## Rules + +* Treat `pull_request_target`, `workflow_run`, `issue_comment`, and `issues` as privileged. +* In a privileged workflow, **never** check out and execute PR/fork code. +* If you only need to label, comment, or triage based on metadata, that is fine — just don't run + the contributor's code. +* Prefer `pull_request` (with its safe read-only/no-secrets defaults) whenever possible. diff --git a/sdlc-skills/github-release/SKILL.md b/sdlc-skills/github-release/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..417765fa0 --- /dev/null +++ b/sdlc-skills/github-release/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,441 @@ +--- +name: github-release +description: > + Guides IA through releasing a new version of a GitHub library end-to-end. + Handles SemVer versioning and Keep a Changelog formatting automatically. +compatibility: "requires: gh CLI and git" +--- + +# GitHub Release Skill + +This skill automates the full release workflow for a single-package GitHub repository, +from analysis through changelog authoring and PR creation.

Reason about the code — don't just pattern-match. +Read `references/vuln-categories.md` for full details on each category. + +**Injection Flaws** +- SQL Injection: raw queries with string interpolation, ORM misuse, second-order SQLi +- XSS: unescaped output, dangerouslySetInnerHTML, innerHTML, template injection +- Command Injection: exec/spawn/system with user input +- LDAP, XPath, Header, Log injection + +**Authentication & Access Control** +- Missing authentication on sensitive endpoints +- Broken object-level authorization (BOLA/IDOR) +- JWT weaknesses (alg:none, weak secrets, no expiry validation) +- Session fixation, missing CSRF protection +- Privilege escalation paths +- Mass assignment / parameter pollution + +**Data Handling** +- Sensitive data in logs, error messages, or API responses +- Missing encryption at rest or in transit +- Insecure deserialization +- Path traversal / directory traversal +- XXE (XML External Entity) processing +- SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) + +**Cryptography** +- Use of MD5, SHA1, DES for security purposes +- Hardcoded IVs or salts +- Weak random number generation (Math.random() for tokens) +- Missing TLS certificate validation + +**Business Logic** +- Race conditions (TOCTOU) +- Integer overflow in financial calculations +- Missing rate limiting on sensitive endpoints +- Predictable resource identifiers + +### Step 5 — Cross-File Data Flow Analysis +After the per-file scan, perform a **holistic review**: +- Trace user-controlled input from entry points (HTTP params, headers, body, file uploads) + all the way to sinks (DB queries, exec calls, HTML output, file writes) +- Identify vulnerabilities that only appear when looking at multiple files together +- Check for insecure trust boundaries between services or modules + +### Step 6 — Self-Verification Pass +For EACH finding: +1. Re-read the relevant code with fresh eyes +2. Ask: "Is this actually exploitable, or is there sanitization I missed?" +3. Check if a framework or middleware already handles this upstream +4. Downgrade or discard findings that aren't genuine vulnerabilities +5. Assign final severity: CRITICAL / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW / INFO + +### Step 7 — Generate Security Report +Output the full report in the format defined in `references/report-format.md`. + +### Step 8 — Propose Patches +For every CRITICAL and HIGH finding, generate a concrete patch: +- Show the vulnerable code (before) +- Show the fixed code (after) +- Explain what changed and why +- Preserve the original code style, variable names, and structure +- Add a comment explaining the fix inline + +Explicitly state: **"Review each patch before applying.
