code-audit-scripts

Run deterministic code security and quality scans — secret detection, debug artifact cleanup, and TODO/FIXME tracking. Use this skill before any security review, code audit, PR review, or when the user says 'scan for secrets', 'find debug logs', 'check for TODOs', 'audit this code', 'security scan', or 'clean up before shipping'. Also use proactively before deployments or when reviewing unfamiliar codebases. Runs all scans in parallel for speed.

Code Audit Scripts

Deterministic security and quality scans that output structured JSON. No LLM reasoning needed for the scanning — your job is to interpret results and recommend fixes.

Quick Start

Run everything at once:

bash <skill-path>/scripts/parallel-audit.sh /path/to/project

Returns a merged JSON report with all findings categorized by type and severity.

Individual Scans

Scan for Hardcoded Secrets

bash <skill-path>/scripts/scan-secrets.sh /path/to/project

Detects: API_KEY, SECRET, PASSWORD, PRIVATE_KEY, ACCESS_KEY, DATABASE_URL, JWT_SECRET, STRIPE_SK, and more. Filters out references to env vars (process.env, os.environ) to reduce false positives.

Scan for Debug Artifacts

bash <skill-path>/scripts/scan-debug.sh /path/to/project
# Include test files:
bash <skill-path>/scripts/scan-debug.sh /path/to/project --include-tests

Detects: console.log/debug/warn, debugger statements (JS/TS), print/breakpoint (Python), fmt.Println (Go). Skips test files by default.

Scan for TODOs and FIXMEs

bash <skill-path>/scripts/scan-todos.sh /path/to/project

Categorizes by severity:

  • High: FIXME, BUG, HACK, XXX — these need attention before shipping
  • Low: TODO — tracked work items

Acting on Results

| Finding Type | What to Do | |---|---| | Secrets with real values | Immediately flag to user. Rotate the credential. Move to env var. | | Secrets that are env var refs | False positive — ignore | | Debug artifacts in src/ | Remove before shipping. List specific files and lines. | | Debug artifacts in tests | Usually fine. Only flag if excessive. | | FIXME/HACK/XXX | Flag as blockers for the current PR/deployment | | TODO | Informational. Mention count but don't block on them. |

The parallel-audit.sh output includes a summary object with counts per category and high_priority count — use this for quick pass/fail decisions.
