ghost-report
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.

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.
$ARGUMENTS
Step 0: Setup
Run this Bash command to compute paths:
repo_name=$(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 scansecrets/— secrets and credentials scancode/— 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, orcode) - 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
depsfindings: status isconfirmed-exploitable - For
secretsfindings: status is NOTcleanand NOTrejected - For
codefindings: status isverifiedorunverified(NOTrejected)
Exclude any finding with status clean, rejected, or false-positive.
Sort the remaining findings:
- By severity: high first, then medium, then low
- 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
- Read
<skill_dir>/report-template.md - 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
- Write the report to
<scans_dir>/report.md
Step 7: Show Output
Combined security report is at: <scans_dir>/report.md
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
ghost-scan-secrets
Ghost Security - Secrets and credentials scanner. Scans codebase for leaked API keys, tokens, passwords, and sensitive data. Detects hardcoded secrets and generates findings with severity and remediation guidance. Use when the user asks to check for leaked secrets, scan for credentials, find hardcoded API keys or passwords, detect exposed .env values, or audit code for sensitive data exposure.
ghost-scan-deps
Ghost Security - Software Composition Analysis (SCA) scanner. Scans dependency lockfiles for known vulnerabilities, identifies CVEs, and generates findings with severity levels and remediation guidance. Use when the user asks about dependency vulnerabilities, vulnerable packages, CVE checks, security audits of dependencies, or wants to scan lockfiles like package-lock.json, yarn.lock, go.sum, or Gemfile.lock.
ghost-scan-code
Ghost Security - SAST code scanner. Finds security vulnerabilities in source code by planning and executing targeted scans for issues like SQL injection, XSS, BOLA, BFLA, SSRF, and other OWASP categories. Supports applications (backend, frontend, mobile) and libraries (prototype pollution, unsafe deserialization, ReDoS, path traversal, zip slip). Use when the user asks for a code security audit, SAST scan, vulnerability scan of source code, or wants to find security flaws in a codebase or library.
ghost-proxy
Starts and controls the reaper MITM proxy to capture, inspect, search, and replay HTTP/HTTPS traffic between clients and servers. Capabilities include starting/stopping the proxy scoped to specific domains, viewing captured request/response logs, searching traffic by method/path/status/host, and inspecting full raw HTTP entries for security analysis. Use when the user asks to "start the proxy", "capture traffic", "intercept requests", "inspect HTTP traffic", "search captured requests", or "view request/response".
ghost-repo-context
Scans directory structure, detects projects, maps dependencies, and documents code organization into a repo.md file. Use when the user needs a codebase overview, project structure map, or repository context before security analysis.
ghost-validate
This skill should be used when the user asks to "validate a finding", "check if a vulnerability is real", "triage a security finding", "confirm a vulnerability", "determine if a finding is a true positive or false positive", or provides a security finding for review. It validates security vulnerability findings by tracing data flows, verifying exploit conditions, analyzing security controls, and optionally testing attack vectors against a live application.
