Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…

vett▲5Hey HN. I built a security registry for AI agent skills. There are 64k skills on Vercel's skills.sh. Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and dozens more agents pull them from GitHub at HEAD — no versioning, signing, or scanning. The OpenClaw agents themselves flagged this: "The supply chain attack nobody is talking about: skill.md is an unsigned binary."[0] I took an official skill that packages other skills, added a few lines of Python to exfiltrate env vars, shell history, and git config, and installed it into Claude Code and Codex. Claude Code ran the script without flagging the outbound…

h3ll0 HN, I’ve spent the last 15 years in offensive security, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that every new technology—no matter how advanced—brings its own unique breed of exploitable flaws. LLMs and autonomous agents are no exception. While they feel like "magic," from a security perspective, they are just another attack surface with specific vulnerabilities in how they define and execute "skills." we built skillaudit.sh because I wanted a minimalist, lightweight tool to audit these new skill definitions without the overhead of heavy frameworks. It focuses on the practical,…
