gh-cli
When to Use
- Working with GitHub repositories, pull requests, issues, releases, or raw file URLs.
- You need authenticated access to private repositories or higher API rate limits.
- You are about to use
curl,wget, or unauthenticated web fetches against GitHub.
When NOT to Use
- The target is not GitHub.
- Plain local git operations already solve the task.
Guidance
Prefer the authenticated gh CLI over raw HTTP fetches for GitHub content. In particular:
- Prefer
gh repo view,gh pr view,gh pr list,gh issue view, andgh apiover unauthenticatedcurlorwget. - Prefer cloning a repository and reading files locally over fetching
raw.githubusercontent.comblobs directly. - Avoid using GitHub API
/contents/endpoints as a substitute for cloning and reading repository files.
Examples:
gh repo view owner/repo
gh pr view 123 --repo owner/repo
gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls

supply-chain-risk-auditor
Identifies dependencies at heightened risk of exploitation or takeover. Use when assessing supply chain attack surface, evaluating dependency health, or scoping security engagements.
trailofbits/skills
zeroize-audit
Detects missing zeroization of sensitive data in source code and identifies zeroization removed by compiler optimizations, with assembly-level analysis, and control-flow verification. Use for auditing C/C++/Rust code handling secrets, keys, passwords, or other sensitive data.
trailofbits/skills
sharp-edges
Identifies error-prone APIs, dangerous configurations, and footgun designs that enable security mistakes. Use when reviewing API designs, configuration schemas, cryptographic library ergonomics, or evaluating whether code follows 'secure by default' and 'pit of success' principles. Triggers: footgun, misuse-resistant, secure defaults, API usability, dangerous configuration.
trailofbits/skills
insecure-defaults
Detects fail-open insecure defaults (hardcoded secrets, weak auth, permissive security) that allow apps to run insecurely in production. Use when auditing security, reviewing config management, or analyzing environment variable handling.
trailofbits/skills
dwarf-expert
Provides expertise for analyzing DWARF debug files and understanding the DWARF debug format/standard (v3-v5). Triggers when understanding DWARF information, interacting with DWARF files, answering DWARF-related questions, or working with code that parses DWARF data.
trailofbits/skills
differential-review
Performs security-focused differential review of code changes (PRs, commits, diffs). Adapts analysis depth to codebase size, uses git history for context, calculates blast radius, checks test coverage, and generates comprehensive markdown reports. Automatically detects and prevents security regressions.
