iac-scan SKILL.md skillA
iac-scan from vulnetix/pix-ai-coding-assistant is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add vulnetix/pix-ai-coding-assistant/iac-scan@git:20260904.974b690Pins git:20260904.974b690 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Terraform / OpenTofu / Nix / k8s manifest misconfiguration detection — open security groups, missing encryption, public S3/GCS, IAM wildcards, plaintext secrets, missing tags. Use when reviewing an IaC PR, gating `terraform apply` / `tofu apply`, auditing existing state for drift, or building a compliance report for cloud configuration.
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
# Vulnetix IaC Scan Skill
## Use when
- Pre-apply: scan `*.tf` / `*.tofu` for misconfigurations.
- PR review: catch open security groups, plaintext secrets, IAM wildcards.
- Audit existing infra against compliance baselines (CIS, NIST).
- Detect drift between repo IaC and deployed state.
- Pre-merge: gate on critical findings (e.g. publicly-readable S3).
## Don't use for
- Source-code SAST — use `sast-scan`.
- Dockerfile / container analysis — use `container-scan`.
- Cloud runtime monitoring — Pix is static-only; use a CSPM for runtime.
## Conventions
Follows `skills/_lib/contract.md`. In short: use the `vulnetix_*` MCP tools when the agent has them and the CLI otherwise — both shape their own output, so there is no jq step any more. Independent calls go out as concurrent Bash tool calls in one message. One trailing suggestion, not a playbook. See the contract for surface selection, output style and memory writes.
## Step 1: Load capabilities
Read `.vulnetix/capabilities.yaml`. Confirm `derived.has_iac: true` or `--paths` provided. Otherwise abort.
## Step 2: Run scan
```bash
vulnetix iac --paths "$PATHS" -o json > .vulnetix/iac.${TIMESTAMP}.json
```

How to install
mdr add vulnetix/pix-ai-coding-assistant/iac-scan@sha256:3b389c09d3f88999The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.974b690, 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.
