+exports.AI_PATTERNS_MODULE = `
+### AI/LLM-Specific Patterns
+
+**Prompt Injection (ai_prompt_injection):**
+- User input in system prompt WITHOUT delimiters (code fences, XML tags, separators) -> **HIGH** (real risk)
+- User input in system prompt WITH clear delimiters -> **INFO** (properly fenced)
+- Static prompts with no user interpolation -> **REJECT** (false positive)
+- Prompt templates using proper parameterization/placeholders -> **REJECT**
+
+**LLM Output Execution (ai_unsafe_execution):**
+- LLM output fed to eval()/Function()/exec() WITHOUT sandbox -> **CRITICAL** (arbitrary code execution)
+- LLM output to execution WITH sandbox (vm2, isolated-vm) -> **MEDIUM** (risk mitigated)
+- LLM output to execution WITH validation AND sandbox -> **LOW** (well-protected)
+- LLM output used for display only (console.log, UI) -> **REJECT** (not execution)
+- Generated SQL from LLM without parameterization -> **CRITICAL** (SQL injection)
+- Generated SQL with parameterized queries -> **MEDIUM** (logic may still be wrong)
+
+**Agent Tool Permissions (ai_overpermissive_tool):**
+- Tool with unrestricted file/network/exec access -> **HIGH** (overpermissive)
+- Tool without user context verification -> **MEDIUM** (missing authorization)
+- Tool with proper scoping, allowlists, and user verification -> **LOW** or **REJECT**
+- Test files with tool definitions -> **INFO** or **REJECT**
+
+**Hallucinated Dependencies (suspicious_package):**
+- Package not found in registry -> **CRITICAL** (likely AI-hallucinated name)
+- Very new package (less than 7 days old) with low downloads and typosquat pattern -> **HIGH**
+- Legitimate looking package with source/repo but low popularity -> **MEDIUM** (needs review)
+- Known legitimate package with unusual name (in allowlist) -> **REJECT**
+
+**CRITICAL AI PATTERN RULES**:
+- AI code generation often produces non-existent package names - flag these prominently
+- Prompt injection is NOT the same as XSS - different threat model and severity
+- Sandboxed code execution (vm2, isolated-vm) significantly reduces risk
+- Agent tools need both access restrictions AND user context verification
+
+### RAG Data Exfiltration (ai_rag_exfiltration)
+Retrieval Augmented Generation systems can leak sensitive data across tenant boundaries.
+
+**Unscoped Retrieval Queries:**
+- Vector store query WITHOUT user/tenant filter -> **HIGH** (cross-tenant data access)
+  - .query(), .search(), .similaritySearch() without filter/where/userId/tenantId parameter
+  - LangChain retriever.invoke() without metadata filter
+  - Pinecone/Chroma/Weaviate query without namespace or metadata filter
+- Query WITH proper scoping (filter by userId/tenantId) -> **REJECT** (properly scoped)
+- Query with RLS-enabled Supabase tables -> **LOW/INFO** (verify RLS policy)
+
+**Raw Context Exposure:**
+- Raw sourceDocuments/chunks returned in API response -> **MEDIUM** (data leak to client)
+- Raw context returned WITHOUT authentication -> **HIGH** (public data leak)
+- Filtered response (only IDs, titles, metadata) -> **REJECT** (properly filtered)
+- Response filtering visible nearby (.map, sanitize, redact) -> **INFO**
+
+**Context Logging:**
+- Logging retrieved documents (debug) -> **INFO** (hygiene, not direct risk)
+- Logging full prompts with context -> **LOW** (audit concern if logs are accessible)
+- Persisting prompts/context to database -> **MEDIUM** (sensitive data retention)
+
+**CRITICAL RAG RULES**:
+- Cross-tenant data access is the PRIMARY risk - always check for user/tenant scoping
+- Authenticated endpoints exposing context are MEDIUM; unauthenticated are HIGH
+- Debug logging is INFO severity - it's not a direct vulnerability
+- If RLS or middleware protection is visible, downgrade significantly
+
+### AI Endpoint Protection (ai_endpoint_unprotected)
+AI/LLM API endpoints can incur significant costs and enable data exfiltration.
+
+**No Authentication + No Rate Limiting -> HIGH:**
+- Endpoint calls OpenAI/Anthropic/etc. without any auth check or rate limit
+- Anyone on the internet can abuse the endpoint and run up API costs
+- Potential for prompt exfiltration or model abuse
+
+**Has Rate Limiting but No Authentication -> MEDIUM:**
+- Rate limit provides some protection against abuse
+- Still allows anonymous access to AI functionality
+- Suggest adding authentication
+
+**Has Authentication but No Rate Limiting -> LOW:**
+- Authenticated users could still abuse the endpoint
+- Suggest adding rate limiting for cost control
+- severity: low (suggest improvement)
+
+**Has Both Auth and Rate Limiting -> INFO/REJECT:**
+- Properly protected endpoint
+- REJECT if both are clearly present
+- INFO if you want to note the good pattern
+
+**BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) Endpoints:**
+- If user provides their own API key, risk is LOWER
+- User pays for their own usage - cost abuse is their problem
+- Downgrade severity by one level for BYOK patterns
+
+**Protected by Middleware:**
+- If project context shows auth middleware protecting the route, downgrade to INFO
+- Internal/admin routes should be INFO or REJECT
+
+**CRITICAL ENDPOINT RULES**:
+- Cost abuse is real - unprotected AI endpoints can bankrupt a startup
+- Rate limiting alone isn't enough - need auth to prevent anonymous abuse
+- BYOK endpoints have lower risk since user bears the cost
+- Check for middleware protection before flagging
+
+### Schema/Tooling Mismatch (ai_schema_mismatch)
+AI-generated structured outputs need validation before use in security-sensitive contexts.
+
+**Unvalidated AI Output Parsing:**
+- JSON.parse(response.content) without schema validation -> **MEDIUM**
+  - AI may return malformed or unexpected structures
+  - Suggest zod/ajv/joi validation
+- AI output to EXECUTION SINK (eval, exec, query) without validation -> **HIGH**
+  - Direct path to code/SQL injection
+- AI output to DISPLAY only (console.log, UI render) -> **REJECT**
+  - Not a security issue for display purposes
+- OpenAI Structured Outputs (json_schema in request) -> **REJECT**
+  - API-level validation provides guarantees
+
+**Weak Schema Patterns:**
+- response: any at API boundary -> **MEDIUM** (no type safety)
+- z.any() or z.unknown() -> **LOW** (defeats purpose of validation)
+- z.passthrough() -> **INFO** (allows extra properties, minor concern)
+- Specific schema defined and used -> **REJECT** (properly validated)
+
+**Tool Parameter Validation:**
+- Tool parameter -> file path without validation -> **HIGH** (path traversal)
+- Tool parameter -> shell command without validation -> **CRITICAL** (command injection)
+- Tool parameter -> URL without validation -> **HIGH** (SSRF)
+- Tool parameter -> DB query without validation -> **HIGH** (SQL injection)
+- Tool parameter with allowlist check visible -> **LOW/REJECT** (mitigated)
+
+**CRITICAL SCHEMA RULES**:
+- The severity depends on WHERE the AI output is used, not just that it's parsed
+- Execution sinks (eval, exec, query, fs) need HIGH severity without validation
+- Display-only usage is NOT a security issue
+- Schema validation (zod, ajv, joi) significantly reduces risk
+- OpenAI Structured Outputs provide API-level guarantees

Set impact and fixSuggestion to null.\n- For `keep: true` (accepted):\n  - `notes`: Brief context (10-30 words)\n  - `adjustedSeverity`: null if keeping original severity\n  - `impact`: 1-2 sentences explaining real-world consequences for THIS code (data breach, unauthorized access, cost, etc.)\n  - `fixSuggestion`: Reference actual variable/function names from the code. Be specific, not generic.\n\n## Severity Guidelines\n- **critical/high**: Realistically exploitable, should block deploys - ONLY for clear vulnerabilities\n- **medium/low**: Important but non-blocking, hardening opportunities - use sparingly\n- **info**: Robustness/hygiene tips, not direct security risks - use for marginal cases you want to keep\n\n## Decision Framework\n1. **KEEP** (keep: true) when:\n   - The code contains a known vulnerability pattern (SQL injection, eval, exec, path traversal, SSRF, XSS, etc.)\n   - User input or external data reaches a dangerous sink\n   - Security configuration is genuinely weak or missing\n   - The finding describes a real, documented vulnerability class\n   - Hardcoded credentials or secrets are present in non-test code\n\n2. **Downgrade severity** (keep: true, adjustedSeverity) when:\n   - Finding is real but mitigating factors exist (auth middleware, sanitization nearby)\n   - Exploitation requires specific conditions\n   - Better as a \"review this\" than a \"fix immediately\"\n\n3. **REJECT** (keep: false) ONLY when:\n   - The flagged string is clearly NOT what the detector thinks (CSS classes flagged as secrets, static strings flagged as injection)\n   - The code is in test/example/documentation/fixture files\n   - The finding is about code style, not security\n   - The pattern is standard practice with no security implication\n\n**REMEMBER**: Real vulnerabilities should reach the user. It is better to surface a finding that needs review than to hide a real vulnerability. When in doubt, KEEP with appropriate severity.\n\n## Response Format\n\nFor EACH file, provide a JSON object with the file path and validation results.\nReturn a JSON array where each element has:\n- \"file\": the file path (e.g., \"src/routes/api.ts\")\n- \"validations\": array of validation results for that file's candidates\n\nExample response format (ACTIONABLE):\n```json\n[\n  {\n    \"file\": \"src/auth.ts\",\n    \"validations\": [\n      { \"index\": 0, \"keep\": true, \"adjustedSeverity\": \"medium\", \"notes\": \"Protected by middleware\", \"impact\": null, \"fixSuggestion\": null },\n      { \"index\": 1, \"keep\": false, \"notes\": \"Static config value, not a secret\", \"adjustedSeverity\": null, \"impact\": null, \"fixSuggestion\": null }\n    ]\n  },\n  {\n    \"file\": \"src/api.ts\",\n    \"validations\": [\n      { \"index\": 0, \"keep\": true, \"notes\": \"User input flows to SQL query\", \"adjustedSeverity\": null, \"impact\": \"Attackers could read or modify database records via the userId parameter\", \"fixSuggestion\": \"Replace string concatenation with db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', [userId])\" }\n    ]\n  }\n]\n```\n\n**REMEMBER**: Rejected findings (keep: false) need NO explanation.

+### Condensed Heuristic Reminders
+
+**Deserialization & Unsafe Parsing:**

+- Do NOT suggest "add try/catch" when JSON.parse is ALREADY inside a try-catch block.

+
+## Taint Analysis Context
+
+Some findings include **Taint Analysis** annotations from static data flow analysis:
+- **"User input reaches this sink"**: A data flow path was traced from user input to the flagged line. This significantly increases confidence the finding is exploitable.

+Use route annotations alongside taint data for a complete picture of the security posture of each finding.
+
+## Framework Security Context
+
+Some findings include **Framework Context** annotations from framework-aware analysis:
+- **"React JSX auto-escapes interpolated expressions"** → XSS via JSX interpolation is safe. REJECT.
+- **"Django ORM parameterises queries by default"** → SQL injection via ORM methods is safe. REJECT.
+- **"Sequelize ORM methods use parameterised queries"** → SQL injection via ORM is safe. REJECT.

+- For \`keep: true\` (accepted):
+  - \`notes\`: Brief context (10-30 words)
+  - \`adjustedSeverity\`: null if keeping original severity
+  - \`impact\`: 1-2 sentences explaining real-world consequences for THIS code (data breach, unauthorized access, cost, etc.)
+  - \`fixSuggestion\`: Reference actual variable/function names from the code. Be specific, not generic.
+
+## Severity Guidelines
+- **critical/high**: Realistically exploitable, should block deploys - ONLY for clear vulnerabilities
+- **medium/low**: Important but non-blocking, hardening opportunities - use sparingly
+- **info**: Robustness/hygiene tips, not direct security risks - use for marginal cases you want to keep
+
+## Decision Framework
+1. **KEEP** (keep: true) when:
+   - The code contains a known vulnerability pattern (SQL injection, eval, exec, path traversal, SSRF, XSS, etc.)
+   - User input or external data reaches a dangerous sink
+   - Security configuration is genuinely weak or missing
+   - The finding describes a real, documented vulnerability class
+   - Hardcoded credentials or secrets are present in non-test code
+
+2. **Downgrade severity** (keep: true, adjustedSeverity) when:
+   - Finding is real but mitigating factors exist (auth middleware, sanitization nearby)
+   - Exploitation requires specific conditions
+   - Better as a "review this" than a "fix immediately"
+
+3. **REJECT** (keep: false) ONLY when:
+   - The flagged string is clearly NOT what the detector thinks (CSS classes flagged as secrets, static strings flagged as injection)
+   - The code is in test/example/documentation/fixture files
+   - The finding is about code style, not security
+   - The pattern is standard practice with no security implication
+
+**REMEMBER**: Real vulnerabilities should reach the user. It is better to surface a finding that needs review than to hide a real vulnerability. When in doubt, KEEP with appropriate severity.
+
+## Response Format
+
+For EACH file, provide a JSON object with the file path and validation results.
+Return a JSON array where each element has:
+- "file": the file path (e.g., "src/routes/api.ts")
+- "validations": array of validation results for that file's candidates
+
+Example response format (ACTIONABLE):
+\`\`\`json
+[
+  {
+    "file": "src/auth.ts",
+    "validations": [
+      { "index": 0, "keep": true, "adjustedSeverity": "medium", "notes": "Protected by middleware", "impact": null, "fixSuggestion": null },
+      { "index": 1, "keep": false, "notes": "Static config value, not a secret", "adjustedSeverity": null, "impact": null, "fixSuggestion": null }
+    ]
+  },
+  {
+    "file": "src/api.ts",
+    "validations": [
+      { "index": 0, "keep": true, "notes": "User input flows to SQL query", "adjustedSeverity": null, "impact": "Attackers could read or modify database records via the userId parameter", "fixSuggestion": "Replace string concatenation with db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', [userId])" }
+    ]
+  }
+]
+\`\`\`
+
+**REMEMBER**: Rejected findings (keep: false) need NO explanation. Keep notes brief (10-30 words).`;
