code-ratchets

AD-SDL

Implement code quality ratchets to prevent proliferation of deprecated patterns. Use when (1) migrating away from legacy code patterns, (2) enforcing gradual codebase improvements, (3) preventing copy-paste proliferation of deprecated practices, or (4) setting up pre-commit hooks to count and limit specific code patterns. A ratchet fails if pattern count exceeds OR falls below expected—ensuring patterns never increase and prompting updates when they decrease.

How to approach tests, types, lints, and coverage

Using SDLC Engineering

10

tachyon-beep

Use when users request SDLC guidance, CMMI processes, requirements management, design documentation, quality assurance, governance, metrics, or adopting processes on existing projects

hammer-test-suite-generator

8

Ronin15

Generates complete test suite infrastructure (test scripts, functional tests, benchmark tests, output directories, CMake integration) for a new SDL3 HammerEngine system or manager following project conventions. Use when adding a new manager or system that needs testing infrastructure.

hammer-memory-profiler

8

Ronin15

Simplified memory profiling and leak detection for SDL3 HammerEngine using valgrind memcheck, AddressSanitizer, and massif. Identifies memory leaks, allocation hotspots, buffer reuse violations, and provides system-by-system memory breakdown with optimization suggestions. Use after performance-critical changes or when investigating memory issues.

hammer-dependency-analyzer

8

Ronin15

Verify dependency structure and architecture health for SDL3 HammerEngine. Detects circular dependencies, excessive coupling, layer violations, header bloat, and provides dependency graph visualization. Ensures adherence to layered architecture (Core→Managers→States→Entities). Use monthly, after major refactors, or when investigating compile time issues.

integrating-dast-with-owasp-zap-in-pipeline

2

mukul975

This skill covers integrating OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) for Dynamic Application Security Testing in CI/CD pipelines. It addresses configuring baseline, full, and API scans against running applications, interpreting ZAP findings, tuning scan policies, and establishing DAST quality gates in GitHub Actions and GitLab CI.

securing-github-actions-workflows

2

mukul975

This skill covers hardening GitHub Actions workflows against supply chain attacks, credential theft, and privilege escalation. It addresses pinning actions to SHA digests, minimizing GITHUB_TOKEN permissions, protecting secrets from exfiltration, preventing script injection in workflow expressions, and implementing required reviewers for workflow changes.

implementing-infrastructure-as-code-security-scanning

2

mukul975

This skill covers implementing automated security scanning for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates using tools like Checkov, tfsec, and KICS. It addresses detecting misconfigurations in Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, and Helm charts before deployment, establishing policy-based governance, and integrating IaC scanning into CI/CD pipelines to prevent insecure cloud resource provisioning.

implementing-code-signing-for-artifacts

2

mukul975

This skill covers implementing code signing for build artifacts to ensure integrity and authenticity throughout the software supply chain. It addresses signing binaries, packages, and containers using GPG, Sigstore, and platform-specific signing tools, establishing trust chains, and verifying signatures in deployment pipelines.

scanning-containers-with-trivy-in-cicd

2

mukul975

This skill covers integrating Aqua Security's Trivy scanner into CI/CD pipelines for comprehensive container image vulnerability detection. It addresses scanning Docker images for OS package and application dependency CVEs, detecting misconfigurations in Dockerfiles, scanning filesystem and git repositories, and establishing severity-based quality gates that block deployment of vulnerable images.

performing-sca-dependency-scanning-with-snyk

2

mukul975

This skill covers implementing Software Composition Analysis (SCA) using Snyk to detect vulnerable open-source dependencies in CI/CD pipelines. It addresses scanning package manifests and lockfiles, automated fix pull request generation, license compliance checking, continuous monitoring of deployed applications, and integration with GitHub, GitLab, and Jenkins pipelines.

implementing-secret-scanning-with-gitleaks

2

mukul975

This skill covers implementing Gitleaks for detecting and preventing hardcoded secrets in git repositories. It addresses configuring pre-commit hooks, CI/CD pipeline integration, custom rule authoring for organization-specific secrets, baseline management for existing repositories, and remediation workflows for exposed credentials.

implementing-policy-as-code-with-open-policy-agent

2

mukul975

This skill covers implementing Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Gatekeeper for policy-as-code enforcement in Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines. It addresses writing Rego policies, deploying OPA Gatekeeper as a Kubernetes admission controller, testing policies in development, and integrating policy evaluation into deployment pipelines.

integrating-sast-into-github-actions-pipeline

2

mukul975

This skill covers integrating Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools—CodeQL and Semgrep—into GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines. It addresses configuring automated code scanning on pull requests and pushes, tuning rules to reduce false positives, uploading SARIF results to GitHub Advanced Security, and establishing quality gates that block merges when high-severity vulnerabilities are detected.
