checkov SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

Bootstrap Checkov on a developer laptop, run static or plan-level Terraform security scanning for AWS/Azure/GCP/EKS, resolve private GitHub modules with a GITHUB_PAT you export, generate pre-commit hooks, produce multi-format output (cli/json/sarif/junit), and fix violations with AI-generated patches. Use when asked to "scan my Terraform", "run checkov", "check my IaC for security issues", "set up checkov pre-commit", or "fix checkov findings".
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
Bootstrap Checkov and scan Terraform code for security misconfigurations — locally, before CI catches them. Read `references/checkov.md` before responding. It contains all mode logic, bootstrap steps, provider detection, and fix patterns. ## Mode dispatch Parse the first word of `$ARGUMENTS` as the mode. When `$ARGUMENTS` is empty, run the interactive wizard. | Mode | What it does | |---|---| | `static` | Scan `.tf` source files with `--download-external-modules true` | | `plan` | `terraform init` → plan → JSON → Checkov `--deep-analysis` (use `--upgrade` flag to also upgrade providers) | | `secrets` | Scan entire repo for hardcoded secrets (`--framework secrets --enable-secret-scan-all-files`) | | `audit` | One-time secrets history scan across all commits (`--scan-secrets-history`) | | `multi` | Scan Terraform + GitHub Actions + Dockerfiles + Helm in a single run | | `baseline` | Create `.checkov.baseline` to snapshot existing violations | | `fix` | Re-run scan and apply AI-generated patches to `.tf` files | | `scaffold` | Generate `.checkov.yaml` config (SOC 2 / CIS / PCI / HIPAA variants) and/or `custom-checks/` | …

How to install
mdr add nitinjain999/platform-skills/checkov@sha256:eff05da879013eb0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.90b97a9, 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.
