What it does

Vulnerability Scanning is an agent skill from secondsky/claude-skills. Automated security scanning for dependencies, code, containers with Trivy, Snyk, npm audit. Use for CI/CD security gates, pre-deployment audits, compliance requirements, or encountering CVE detection, outdated packages, license compliance, SBOM generation errors.

Its SKILL.md is about 800 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Security, covering Vulnerability scanning, CI/CD and Dependency management. It works with Trivy and Snyk. The repository describes itself as: Production-ready skills for Claude Code CLI - Cloudflare, React, Tailwind v4, and AI integrations. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

CI/CD security gates
Pre-deployment audits
Compliance requirements
Encountering CVE detection

Example prompts

“/vulnerability-scanning”

Requirements

Node.js
Docker
A credential in SNYK_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8837836. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- trivy
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- SNYK_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Vulnerability Scanning loads about 799 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 65 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~799

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.

Vulnerability Scanning

Automate security vulnerability detection across code, dependencies, and containers.

Dependency Scanning

bash

# npm audit
npm audit --audit-level=high

# Snyk
snyk test --severity-threshold=high

# Safety (Python)
safety check --full-report

Container Scanning (Trivy)

bash

# Scan container image
trivy image myapp:latest --severity HIGH,CRITICAL

# Scan filesystem
trivy fs --scanners vuln,secret .

GitHub Actions Integration

yaml

name: Security Scan

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  security:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Run Trivy vulnerability scanner
        uses: aquasecurity/trivy-action@0.28.0

Code Analysis (Bandit for Python)

bash

bandit -r src/ -ll -ii

Node.js Scanner

javascript

const { execSync } = require('child_process');

function runScan(command) {
  try {
    return JSON.parse(execSync(command, { stdio: ['pipe', 'pipe', 'ignore'] }).toString());
  } catch (err) {
    // A tool may be missing, exit non-zero, or print non-JSON output (e.g.
    // trivy progress text when not on a TTY). Treat that as "no parseable
    // result" rather than crashing the scanner.
    console.warn(`Scan command failed or returned non-JSON: ${command}`);
    return null;
  }
}

function runSecurityScan() {
  const results = {
    npm: runScan('npm audit --json'),
    trivy: runScan('trivy fs --quiet --format json .')
  };

  if (!results.npm || !results.npm.metadata) {
    console.warn('npm audit produced no metadata; skipping npm checks');
  } else {
    const critical = results.npm.metadata?.vulnerabilities?.critical || 0;
    if (critical > 0) {
      console.error(`Found ${critical} critical vulnerabilities`);
      process.exit(1);
    }
  }
}

Best Practices
