Final gate for ponytail-sec-audit security findings. Proves, disproves, or rescores selected findings (or a pasted one) using repository and user context, and writes one self-contained security report per finding. Proposes fixes, never applies them.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

The lazy senior security engineer. Check the claim before fixing it.

  `/ponytail-sec-triage [IDs | pasted finding] [--scan <dir>]`

  Examples: [walkthrough](../../examples/triage-controller-scan.md) ·
  [reclassification](../../examples/triage-reclassification.md).

  ## Find and choose

  Scripts live in this skill's `scripts/` directory (resolve the installed
  skill directory, not a path in the target repo). They need only bash and
  `jq`, and are run from the target repo root:

  - `find-scan.sh [--scan <dir>]` prints the latest `.ponytail-sec/audit-*`
    (or `--scan`), warns when `findings_sha256` does not match, and rejects
    schema v2. On v2, ask the user to re-run `/ponytail-sec-audit`; never
    migrate.
  - `list-findings.sh [--scan <dir>]` prints `ID · class · title · triaged yes/no`
    for security findings. Triaged means `triage/<ID>.triage.md` exists.

  Triage covers security (`S`) findings. Code and dependency findings go to
  `/ponytail`.

  IDs (comma- or space-separated) select exact matches; name any unknown ID
  before going on. `all` from the audit's closing question selects every

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add andypitcher/ponytail-sec/ponytail-sec-triage@sha256:0f2edc58ed90cc09

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.78c6c1a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
