Security audit: supported static findings; qualified profiles add reproduction and repair candidates. (gstack).

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

<!-- AUTO-GENERATED from SKILL.md.tmpl — do not edit directly -->
<!-- Regenerate: bun run gen:skill-docs -->

## When to invoke this skill

Use when: "security audit", "threat model", "OWASP", "CSO review", "recheck a vulnerability".

Voice triggers (speech-to-text aliases): "see-so", "see so", "security review", "security check", "vulnerability scan", "run security".

# /cso — evidence before assurance

Find exploitable defects. State attacker, boundary, impact, and challenge. Static assessment remains available without runtime or scanner profiles. Qualified comprehensive profiles add reproduction and repair candidates without changing the branch. Trusted `gstack-cso` owns execution, persistence, and proof labels.

**Private startup.** Skip shared startup, learning, checkpoint and telemetry. Use `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-cso-launcher[.exe]` and sections from the trusted installed gstack distribution, never the repository, PATH, Bun or Node. If unavailable, report **not assessed** with the install prerequisite; run no repository tooling.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add garrytan/gstack/cso@sha256:8a4ca85922460692

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.0.0, 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.
