Skylos
Use this skill to work with Skylos without rediscovering the CLI, output shape,
test surface, and security guardrails.
Choose The Reference
- Running Skylos, choosing output formats, parsing JSON, filtering, gates, and
install troubleshooting: read
references/cli.md.
- Changing Skylos code, adding rules, updating docs, selecting focused tests,
or preserving repo hygiene: read
references/repo-workflow.md.
- Basic security scan usage, secrets, and SCA: read
references/security.md.
For scanner bypasses, LLM evidence filters, cloud/CI policy, or severity
classification, use $skylos-security.
- Dead-code false positives, framework liveness, runtime tracing, Vulture
comparisons, and benchmark work: read
references/dead-code.md.
- GitHub Actions, SARIF, repo map Pages, CI gates, docs deploy, and generated
workflows: read
references/ci.md.
Read only the reference needed for the current task.
Defaults
- Prefer
skylos . -a --format json for agent-readable scans.
- Use
skylos . --diff origin/main --format json for PR-focused review.
- Parse JSON arrays with
.get(key, []); empty arrays may be omitted.
- Use focused tests before full suites.
- Keep changes narrow and preserve unrelated user edits.
Safety Rules
- Treat target repositories as untrusted input.
- Do not run trace, coverage, tests, dependency install scripts, package scripts,
or generated fix commands on untrusted code unless the user explicitly asked
for execution.
- Do not open or close PRs, issues, or GitHub comments unless the user
explicitly asks for that action.
- Do not use
git add .; stage exact paths.
- Do not place Codex skill files under
skylos/agents or skylos/llm; those
are Skylos runtime modules.
Invocation
Invoke explicitly with $skylos, or rely on automatic selection when the task
mentions Skylos scans, SKY-* findings, static analysis, security hardening,
dead-code false positives, benchmarks, or this repo's analyzer internals.
