What it does
Advisories is an agent skill from alpha-omega-security/scrutineer. Fetch published GHSA and CVE advisories affecting any package this repository produces, via advisories.ecosyste.ms.
Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `schema.json`). Compatibility notes: Prefers the scrutineer API's cached ecosyste.ms payload; needs network access to advisories.ecosyste.ms only when nothing is cached.
It sits in Security, covering Vulnerability scanning. The repository describes itself as: Security through scrutiny. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Vulnerability scanning
Example prompts
- “/advisories”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Prefers the scrutineer API's cached ecosyste.ms payload; needs network access to advisories.ecosyste.ms only when nothing is cached.
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read ./context.json and extract repository.url, scrutineer.api_base, scrutineer.token and scrutineer.repository_id.
- Ask scrutineer for the cached payload first: GET {api_base}/repositories/{repository_id}/ecosystems/advisories/raw with the bearer token…
- On 404 nothing is cached — the steady state under ecosystems_enrichment: false — so fetch…
- For each advisory returned, emit one entry in report.json under advisories
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8609afc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
advisories.ecosyste.ms
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Prefers the scrutineer API's cached ecosyste.ms payload; needs network access to advisories.ecosyste.ms only when nothing is cached.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Advisories loads about 696 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 287 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Workspace
./context.json— hasrepository.url, plusscrutineer.api_base,scrutineer.tokenandscrutineer.repository_id./report.json— write the advisories array here./schema.json— output shape
What to do
- Read
./context.jsonand extractrepository.url,scrutineer.api_base,scrutineer.tokenandscrutineer.repository_id. - Ask scrutineer for the cached payload first:
GET {api_base}/repositories/{repository_id}/ecosystems/advisories/rawwith the bearer token. A 200 is the verbatim upstream response, already collated by the prefetcher — use it, skip the pagination in step 3, and go to step 4. This is the only path that works under--hardened, where ecosyste.ms is not in the egress allowlist. - On 404 nothing is cached — the steady state under
ecosystems_enrichment: false— so fetchhttps://advisories.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/advisories?repository_url={URL-ENCODED_URL}directly. Follow pagination (Link: <...>; rel="next") if present. - For each advisory returned, emit one entry in
report.jsonunderadvisories:uuidfrom upstreamuuidurlfrom upstreamurl(or the first reference ifurlis empty)titlefrom upstreamtitledescriptionfrom upstreamdescriptionseverityfrom upstreamseverity(upper-case, e.g.CRITICAL,HIGH,MEDIUM,LOW)cvss_scorefrom upstreamcvss_score(number; omit if absent)classificationfrom upstreamclassification(e.g. CWE id)packages— comma-joined list of affected package names upstream lists underpackagesorpackage_namespublished_atandwithdrawn_atas RFC3339 strings if upstream has them
Return {"advisories": []} if a source answered and upstream has nothing — valid result.
Only write that empty array when a source actually answered. If neither source is reachable — the cached endpoint returned 404 and the direct fetch failed, which is what --hardened looks like on an uncached repository — do not write ./report.json at all. Exit non-zero instead. The parser replaces the whole advisory set for the repository, deleting every existing row before inserting what you produced, so an empty array reported as success wipes advisories a previous scan recorded rather than leaving them untouched.

When should I use Advisories?
Advisories fits situations like: tasks that involve Vulnerability scanning.
How do I install Advisories in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add alpha-omega-security/scrutineer --skill advisories -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/advisories in alpha-omega-security/scrutineer) into .claude/skills/advisories in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Advisories in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alpha-omega-security/scrutineer --skill advisories -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/advisories, .gemini/skills/advisories, .github/skills/advisories and .opencode/skills/advisories in your project.
What does Advisories need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Advisories is instructions for the agent only. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Prefers the scrutineer API's cached ecosyste.ms payload; needs network access to advisories.ecosyste.ms only when nothing is cached..
Does Advisories access the network?
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: advisories.ecosyste.ms; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Advisories safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Advisories use?
Advisories is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Advisories use?
About 696 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
