finding-discovery skillA

finding-discovery is agent-read markdown (skill) from cowork-os/cowork-os: Use when Codex is already in the finding-discovery phase of a security scan or the user explicitly asks to discover candidate security findings in a repository or code change. Do not use as the primary trigger for full PR, commit, branch, patch, or repository scans..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Security Finding Discovery

## Objective

Investigate the proposed code or code changes for technically plausible security vulnerabilities using the threat model as context.

## Artifact Resolution

The path references in this skill are the default locations for this phase.
If the user explicitly provides a different path for a required input or output, use the user-provided path instead of the corresponding default path referenced in this skill.
If a required input is still missing, stop and ask the user for it before continuing.
Use the shared scan artifact path conventions in `../../references/scan-artifacts.md`.

### Code Diff Workflow

If the scan target is for a targeted code-diff:

- Read `../security-scan/references/scan-artifacts-and-ledger.md`.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add cowork-os/cowork-os/finding-discovery@git:20260919.ad0495b
Exact content
mdr add cowork-os/cowork-os/finding-discovery@sha256:fc3678d4dda6de66

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
