AI Native Agent Skill security auditing tool — an LLM-driven multi-stage code audit and vulnerability review pipeline.

aig-skill-scan is a subproject of Tencent AI-Infra-Guard, purpose-built for static, LLM-driven security auditing of AI Agent Skill projects (OpenClaw Skills, etc.).

• Default (single-stage) mode: runs only the Code Audit stage and outputs vulnerabilities directly — faster, ideal for standalone CLI use.
• --aig-mode (three-stage) mode: the full Info Collection → Code Audit → Vulnerability Review pipeline, used for the AI-Infra-Guard platform's step-by-step frontend display; no need to enable it manually otherwise.

Vulnerability classification follows the SkillTrustBench T01–T09 taxonomy. Verdicts: malicious (clear attack intent) / suspicious (vulnerability present but no clear attack intent) / normal (benign).

Installation

# From PyPI
pip install aig-skill-scan

# Or from source (development)
git clone https://github.com/Tencent/AI-Infra-Guard.git
cd AI-Infra-Guard/skill-scan
pip install -e .

Requires Python ≥ 3.9.

Quick Start

Command Line

# Set API key via environment variable
export LLM_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Scan a local Skill project directory
aig-skill-scan --repo /path/to/your/skill \
           -m deepseek-v4-flash \
           --language en \
           -o result.sarif.json

# Or invoke as a module
python -m skill_scan --repo /path/to/your/skill

--aig-mode is intended for the AI-Infra-Guard platform backend. When enabled, it runs the three-stage pipeline (Info Collection → Code Audit → Vulnerability Review) and writes newPlanStep/statusUpdate/toolUsed structured JSON lines to stdout; -o also saves the internal-schema JSON in this mode. Do not enable it when using pip install standalone — it will pollute your terminal with JSON.

Output Format (SARIF)

When --aig-mode is off (default, standalone CLI use), the result saved via -o is SARIF 2.1.0 — the OASIS Static Analysis Results Interchange Format standard JSON, natively consumable by GitHub Code Scanning, Azure DevOps, GitLab Security Dashboard, VS Code's Problems panel, and other SARIF-aware tooling.

{
  "version": "2.1.0",
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oasis-tcs/sarif-spec/main/Schemata/sarif-schema-2.1.0.json",
  "runs": [{
    "tool": {"driver": {"name": "aig-skill-scan", "version": "0.2.0", "rules": [...]}},
    "results": [{
      "ruleId": "T04",
      "level": "error",
      "message": {"text": "..."},
      "locations": [{"physicalLocation": {"artifactLocation": {"uri": "scripts/setup.sh"}, "region": {"startLine": 12, "endLine": 18}}}],
      "partialFingerprints": {"primaryLocationLineHash": "..."},
      "fixes": [{"description": {"text": "..."}}]
    }]
  }]
}

• ruleId comes from the vulnerability's risk_type (the SkillTrustBench T01–T09 category code)
• level is normalized from the free-text severity (Critical/High/Medium/...) into SARIF's error/warning/note
• locations relies on optional structured fields (file path + line numbers) emitted by the LLM; when they can't be determined, uri falls back to "."

--aig-mode mode is unaffected and continues to save the original internal JSON structure via -o (consumed by the platform internally).

Programmatic Usage

import asyncio
import json
import os
from skill_scan.agent.agent import Agent
from skill_scan.utils.llm import LLM
from skill_scan.utils.sarif_formatter import to_sarif

async def run():
    # API key must be read from environment variables, never hardcoded
    api_key = os.environ.get("LLM_API_KEY")
    if not api_key:
        raise RuntimeError("LLM_API_KEY environment variable must be set")

    llm = LLM(model="deepseek-v4-flash",
              api_key=api_key,
              base_url="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
              context_window=128_000)

    # Single-stage (default), aig_mode=False
    agent = Agent(llm=llm, debug=False, language="en", aig_mode=False)
    result = await agent.scan("/path/to/your/skill", "", "en")

    # Convert to SARIF 2.1.0 format
    sarif_doc = to_sarif(result, tool_version="0.2.0", language="en")
    print(json.dumps(sarif_doc, ensure_ascii=False, indent=2))

asyncio.run(run())

Configuration

All configuration is injected via environment variables or a .env file. aig-skill-scan looks for .env in this order:

1. Package root (site-packages/skill_scan/.env — rarely used post-install)
2. Current working directory (./.env — recommended)

Scoring

calc_skill_score mirrors mcp-scan's calc_mcp_score:

Final skill score = max(0, 100 - Σ deductions).
