22
+ ## PR Mode (`--pr`)
23
+
24
+ Lightweight, fast path designed for CI PR gates. When invoked with `--pr`:
25
+
26
+ 1. Run Phase 0 static scan only (no AI agents, no RAG queries, no code changes).
27
+ 2. Filter findings against `severityThreshold` (default `HIGH`).
28
+ 3. Apply any `severity_overrides` from `.tdd-audit.json` before filtering.
29
+ 4. If any finding meets or exceeds the threshold: exit non-zero with a summary. Otherwise exit zero.
30
+
31
+ Output format in PR mode:
32
+ ```
33
+ tdd-audit PR scan — my-project
34
+ ✅ 0 CRITICAL · 0 HIGH (threshold: HIGH) — passed
35
+ ```
36
+ or:
37
+ ```
38
+ tdd-audit PR scan — my-project
39
+ ❌ 1 CRITICAL · 2 HIGH (threshold: HIGH) — blocked
40
+ CRITICAL src/api/admin.js:14 Unguarded admin endpoint
41
+ HIGH src/lib/auth.js:88 JWT algorithm confusion
42
+ ```
43
+
44
+ Do not start MCP services, pull pattern repos, or run agents in this mode. Speed is the goal.
45
+
46
+ ---
47
+
48
+ ## Org Scan Mode (`--org <github-org>`)
49
+
50
+ Scans all repos in a GitHub org. When invoked with `--org`:
51
+
52
+ 1. List all repos in `<github-org>` via `gh repo list <github-org> --limit 200 --json name,sshUrl`.
53
+ 2. For each repo: clone to a temp dir (or pull if already present), run `--pr` mode against it.
54
+ 3. Collect results and produce a cross-org summary:
55
+
56
+ ```
57
+ <github-org> security posture — YYYY-MM-DD
58
+
59
+ ✅ repo-a 0 critical · 0 high
60
+ ⚠️ repo-b 0 critical · 2 high
61
+ 🔴 repo-c 1 critical · 4 high
62
+
63
+ N repos scanned · X critical · Y high total
64
+ ```
65
+
66
+ 4. If `webhook_url` or `slack_webhook` is configured, fire the notification with the aggregate payload.
67
+ 5. If `--format report` is also passed, write a full markdown cross-org report.
68
+
69
+ Requires `GITHUB_TOKEN` in the environment with `repo` read scope.
70
+
71
+ ---
72
+
73
+ ## Auto-Fix PR Mode (`--open-pr`)
74
+
75
+ Instead of committing fixes directly to the working branch, open a GitHub PR per confirmed finding. Apply this mode during Phase 1–3 (Remediation Engine):
76
+
77
+ For each finding:
78
+ 1. Create a branch: `tdd-audit/<finding-slug>-<YYYYMMDD>` off the default branch.
79
+ 2. Apply the Red (exploit test) + Green (patch) commits on that branch.
80
+ 3. Open a PR via `gh pr create`:
81
+ - Title: `[tdd-audit] Fix <vulnerability name>: <one-line description>`
82
+ - Body: finding description, exploit test name, patch summary, link to vulnerability pattern.
83
+ 4. Do **not** merge — leave the PR for human review.
84
+ 5. Print the PR URL after creation.
85
+
86
+ Requires `GITHUB_TOKEN` (env or `github_token` config) and `github_repo` (env or auto-detected from git remote).
87
+
88
+ ---
89
+
90
+ ## Watch Mode (`--watch`)
91
+
92
+ Re-scan affected files on save. When invoked with `--watch`:
93
+
94
+ 1. Complete Phase 0 (full static scan) once at startup.
95
+ 2. Start a file watcher on the repo root (excluding `node_modules`, `dist`, `.git`, and paths in `ignore`).
96
+ 3. On any file save: re-run Phase 0 static scan for that file only.
97
+ 4. Report new or resolved findings immediately in the terminal. Do not run agents or apply fixes.
98
+ 5. Continue watching until the process is terminated.
99
+
100
+ Watch mode is for real-time feedback during development. Use `/caller-audit` (or the equivalent skill command) for full agentic remediation.
101
+
102
+ ---
103
+
104
+ ## Notifications
105
+
106
+ After every completed scan (CLI, `--ai`, `POST /scan`):
107
+
108
+ **Webhook** (`webhook_url`): POST the following JSON:
109
+ ```json
110
+ {
111
+ "project": "<project>",
112
+ "org": "<org>",
113
+ "security_name": "<security_name or omitted if not set>",

118
+ "findings": [ ... ]
119
+ }
120
+ ```
121
+
122
+ **Slack** (`slack_webhook`): Send a message to `slack_channel` (or the webhook default):
123
+ ```
124
+ 🔴 tdd-audit — <project>
125
+ 1 critical · 3 high · 2 medium
126
+ Run /caller-audit to remediate.
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ Send notifications only after Phase 0e (findings are final). Do not send during incremental watch-mode scans.
130
+

132
+
133
+ ## Config Bootstrap (runs before Phase 0 every time)
134
+
135
+ Before scanning, read `.tdd-audit.json` from the repo root if it exists. Store the values — they control branding, extensibility, and session setup for this run.
136
+
137
+ ```
138
+ If .tdd-audit.json exists:
139
+ Load: org, project, tdd_site, badge_label, security_name, security_email,
140
+ pattern_repos, extra_skill_dirs, extra_repos,
141
+ mcp_services, extra_domains
142
+ If absent:
143
+ > Note: No .tdd-audit.json found. Running with built-in patterns only.
144
+ > Create one from docs/vulnerability-patterns.md#extensibility to add
145
+ > org-specific patterns, MCP services, and branding.
146
+ ```
147
+
148
+ **Pattern repos** — **on every single run**, sync all pattern repos before doing anything else. This is mandatory — do not skip even if the repo was just pulled.
149
+
150
+ For each entry in `pattern_repos` (plus the built-in `~/github/tdd-patterns/` if it exists on this machine):
151
+ ```bash
152
+ # Clone if missing, then ALWAYS pull to get the latest patterns
153
+ if [ ! -d "<local_path>" ]; then
154
+ git clone <url> <local_path>
155
+ fi
156
+ cd <local_path> && git pull --ff-only origin main
157
+ ```
158
+ If the pull brings in new commits, note it: `> ✔ tdd-patterns updated (N new commits).`
159
+ If already up to date: `> ✔ tdd-patterns is current.`
160
+
161
+ Then re-index into its namespace:
162
+ ```
163
+ /rag-implementation index --path <local_path> --namespace <namespace>
164
+ ```
165
+ Query before **every** fix proposal — not just the first:
166
+ ```
167
+ /rag-engineer retrieve --namespace <namespace> "<vulnerability description>"
168
+ ```
169
+ If a prior solution exists, lead with it — do not re-derive known fixes.
170
+
171
+ **Extra skill dirs** — for each path in `extra_skill_dirs`: link into `~/.claude/skills/` if not already present.
172
+
173
+ **MCP services** — for each service in `mcp_services`: start it and confirm it responds before the first agent turn. Template vars available in `args`: `${project}`, `${org}`, `${cwd}`.
174
+
175
+ **Extra domains** — load each `prompt_file` from `extra_domains` alongside the built-in scan patterns in Phase 0c.

961
+ ## Phase 7: Catalog to tdd-patterns (RAG Knowledge Base)
962
+
963
+ **This is the final mandatory step of every audit run.** After the Remediation Summary, coverage gate, README badge, and SECURITY.md are confirmed complete, contribute any newly discovered or newly confirmed vulnerability patterns back to the `tdd-patterns` knowledge base at `~/github/tdd-patterns/` (or wherever the repo is cloned on this machine).
964
+
965
+ The tdd-patterns repo is the institutional security memory used as a RAG source for future audit runs. Every pattern you contribute improves detection quality for every future audit.
966
+
967
+ ### What to catalog
968
+
969
+ For **each vulnerability fixed during this audit** that represents a distinct pattern class:
970
+
971
+ 1. Check whether a matching pattern file already exists in the relevant domain directory.
972
+ - If it exists and is substantially covered — skip (no duplicates).
973
+ - If it exists but is missing a stack variant or test from this run — update it.
974
+ - If it does not exist — create it.
975
+
976
+ 2. Determine the correct domain directory:
977
+
978
+ | Vulnerability class | Directory |
979
+ |---|---|
980
+ | SQLi, XSS, CMDi, path traversal, SSRF, open redirect, NoSQL injection, template injection, XPath | `injection/` |
981
+ | IDOR, JWT, broken auth, timing oracle, JWT revocation, missing ownership check | `auth/` |
982
+ | Hardcoded keys (API keys, tokens, passwords), env fallbacks, secret in prompt | `secrets/` |
983
+ | Security headers, CSP, CSRF, cookie flags, X-Powered-By, postMessage origin | `frontend/` |
984
+ | Prompt injection, LLM output exec, MCP poisoning, MCP SSRF, excessive agency, GitHub Actions injection, unpinned Actions, Electron | `agentic/` |
985
+ | npm audit findings, unpinned dependencies, lockfile drift, vm2 deprecated | `deps/` |
986
+ | Rate limiting, CORS misconfiguration, body parser DoS, GraphQL introspection, WebSocket | `infra/` |
987
+
988
+ ### Pattern file format
989
+
990
+ Use this exact frontmatter and section structure:
991
+
992
+ ```markdown
993
+ ---
994
+ id: <domain>-<short-slug>
995
+ domain: <injection|auth|secrets|frontend|agentic|deps|infra>
996
+ severity: <critical|high|medium|low>
997
+ stack: "<e.g. node.js, express, *>"
998
+ date_added: <YYYY-MM-DD>
999
+ project: <project name or 'general'>
1000
+ ---
1001
+
1002
+ # <Vulnerability Name>
1003
+
1004
+ ## Problem
1005
+ <2–4 sentences describing what the vulnerable code looks like and what an attacker can do.>
1006
+
1007
+ ```<language>
1008
+ // WRONG — show the vulnerable pattern
1009
+ ```
1010
+
1011
+ ## Root Cause
1012
+ <1–2 sentences on why developers write this (especially AI-generated code tendencies).>
1013
+
1014
+ ## Fix
1015
+ <The correct implementation with a code snippet.>
1016
+
1017
+ ```<language>
1018
+ // CORRECT
1019
+ ```
1020
+
1021
+ ## Test
1022
+ <The Red-phase exploit test. Must FAIL before the fix is applied.>
1023
+
1024
+ ```javascript
1025
+ test('<describes the attack being blocked>', async () => {
1026
+ // ... exploit attempt
1027
+ expect(response.status).not.toBe(200); // or appropriate assertion
1028
+ });
1029
+ ```
1030
+
1031
+ ## Detection
1032
+ <Grep pattern(s) to find this in a new codebase.>
1033
+
1034
+ ```
1035
+ <pattern> # explanation
1036
+ ```
1037
+ ```
1038
+
1039
+ ### Example contribution workflow
1040
+
1041
+ ```bash
1042
+ # Navigate to the patterns repo
1043
+ cd ~/github/tdd-patterns
1044
+
1045
+ # Create new pattern file
1046
+ cat > injection/prototype-pollution-bracket.md << 'EOF'

1065
+
1066
+ ### Acknowledgement in Final Report
1067
+
1068
+ After cataloging, add a row to the Final Report table:
1069
+
1070
+ ```
1071
+ | tdd-patterns catalog | ✅ | N new patterns contributed to ~/github/tdd-patterns/ |
1072
+ ```
1073
+
1074
+ If zero new patterns (all were already covered) — still add the row with a note that existing patterns were verified.
