  • Works in 8 steps: Setup → Read Repo Context → Discover Scan Results → …
  • The user requests a security overview
  • SKILL.md covers Step 0: Setup, Cache Check, Step 1: Read Repo Context and Step 2: Discover Scan Results, plus 5 more sections

What it does

Ghost Report is an agent skill from ghostsecurity/skills. Ghost Security — combined security report. Aggregates findings from all scan skills (scan-deps, scan-secrets, scan-code) into a single prioritized report focused on the highest risk, highest confidence issues. Use when the user requests a security overview, vulnerability summary, full security audit, or combined scan results.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `report-template.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Security review. The repository describes itself as: Ghost Security's collection of AppSec skills for AI coding agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user requests a security overview
  • Vulnerability summary
  • Full security audit
  • Combined scan results

Example prompts

  • “/ghost-report”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Setup
  2. Read Repo Context
  3. Discover Scan Results
  4. Collect Findings
  5. Filter and Sort
  6. Read Per-Scan Reports
  7. Generate Report
  8. Show Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25fdf06. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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.

Context cost

Ghost Report loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 582 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

Combined Security Report

You aggregate findings from all scan skills (scan-deps, scan-secrets, scan-code) into a single prioritized report. Do all work yourself — do not spawn subagents or delegate.

$ARGUMENTS


Step 0: Setup

Run this Bash command to compute paths:

bash
repo_name=$(basename "$(pwd)") && remote_url=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null || pwd) && short_hash=$(printf '%s' "$remote_url" | git hash-object --stdin | cut -c1-8) && repo_id="${repo_name}-${short_hash}" && short_sha=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD 2>/dev/null || date +%Y%m%d) && ghost_repo_dir="$HOME/.ghost/repos/${repo_id}" && scans_dir="${ghost_repo_dir}/scans/${short_sha}" && cache_dir="${ghost_repo_dir}/cache" && skill_dir=$(find . -path '*/skills/report/SKILL.md' 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs dirname) && echo "scans_dir=$scans_dir cache_dir=$cache_dir skill_dir=$skill_dir"

Store scans_dir (commit-level scan directory), cache_dir, and skill_dir.


Cache Check

If <scans_dir>/report.md already exists, show:

Combined security report is at: <scans_dir>/report.md

And stop. Do not regenerate it.


Step 1: Read Repo Context

Read <cache_dir>/repo.md if it exists. Extract:

  • Business criticality
  • Sensitive data types
  • Component map

If it does not exist, continue without it — this is not an error.


Step 2: Discover Scan Results

List the contents of <scans_dir> to see which scan-type directories exist. Recognized types:

  • deps/ — SCA / dependency vulnerability scan
  • secrets/ — secrets and credentials scan
  • code/ — code security scan (SAST)

If none of these directories exist, report an error:

No scan results found in <scans_dir>. Run one or more scan skills first:
  /ghost-scan-deps
  /ghost-scan-secrets
  /ghost-scan-code

And stop.


Step 3: Collect Findings

For each scan type that exists, glob <scans_dir>/<type>/findings/*.md and read each finding file in full. Retain the complete markdown body of every finding — the report will inline this content directly so readers never need to open individual finding files.

From each finding, also extract these metadata fields for filtering and sorting:

  • ID — from ## Metadata → ID
  • Type — the scan type (deps, secrets, or code)
  • Severity — from ## Metadata → Severity (high, medium, low)
  • Status — from ## Metadata → Status (e.g., confirmed-exploitable, unverified, verified, rejected, clean)

Step 4: Filter and Sort

Filter: Keep only high-confidence findings:

  • For deps findings: status is confirmed-exploitable
  • For secrets findings: status is NOT clean and NOT rejected
  • For code findings: status is verified or unverified (NOT rejected)

Exclude any finding with status clean, rejected, or false-positive.

Sort the remaining findings:

  1. By severity: high first, then medium, then low
  2. Within same severity: deps before secrets before code

Step 5: Read Per-Scan Reports

For deps and secrets scan types, read <scans_dir>/<type>/report.md if present. Extract:

  • Statistics (candidates scanned, confirmed findings, false positives filtered)
  • Executive summary highlights

Note: code does not produce a report.md. For code scan coverage, count the finding files in <scans_dir>/code/findings/ directly. The "Candidates Scanned" count is the total number of finding files (all statuses). "Confirmed Findings" is the count with status verified, confirmed, or unverified. "False Positives Filtered" is the count with status rejected. Do NOT count clean file analyses from the nomination/analysis funnel — those never became findings.

If a per-scan report does not exist for deps or secrets, note it as unavailable.

Step 6: Generate Report

  1. Read <skill_dir>/report-template.md
  2. Populate the template with collected data:
    • Fill Scan Information with repository name, commit SHA, date, and which scans ran
    • Write Executive Summary using repo context and aggregated findings
    • For all writing elements in this security-focused, objective and fact based report, use a neutral, human tone that balances expertise with ease of reading. Do not use emojis, em-dashes, etc.
    • For Critical & High findings (severity = high): inline the substantive content from each finding file directly into the report — include code snippets, assessment tables, remediation commands, and all relevant detail so the report is fully self-contained
    • For Medium findings: write a full subsection per finding with description, location, code context, and remediation (not a condensed table)
    • Omit low-severity findings (they remain in per-scan finding files only)
    • Fill Scan Coverage table from per-scan report statistics (for code, use finding file counts from Step 5)
    • Add a brief methodology note per scan type that ran (1-2 sentences drawn from per-scan reports)
    • Do NOT include links to per-scan reports or individual finding files — all content is inlined
  3. Write the report to <scans_dir>/report.md

Step 7: Show Output

Combined security report is at: <scans_dir>/report.md
