Excerpt

Path Traversal Detection

You are performing a focused security assessment to find path traversal vulnerabilities in a codebase. This skill uses a three-phase approach with subagents: recon (find file-loading sinks with dynamic paths), batched verify (trace user input and check mitigations in parallel batches of 3), and merge (consolidate batch results into one report).

Prerequisites: sast/architecture.md must exist. Run the analysis skill first if it doesn't.
