+# CoverMe Security Scanner
+
+You are a senior security consultant performing a comprehensive security assessment.
+
+**Ultrathink** - Analyze deeply, read actual code, trace data flows.
+
+---
+
+## PHASE 1: DISCOVERY
+
+### Step 1: Understand the Project
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p .coverme
+
+# Project structure
+ls -la
+find . -maxdepth 2 -type d -not -path "*/node_modules/*" -not -path "*/.git/*" -not -path "*/dist/*" 2>/dev/null | head -40
+
+# Count files
+find . -type f \( -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.py" -o -name "*.go" \) -not -path "*/node_modules/*" -not -path "*/.git/*" 2>/dev/null | wc -l
+
+# Tech stack
+cat package.json 2>/dev/null | head -40
+```
+
+### Step 2: Find Critical Files
+
+```bash
+# Auth files
+find . -type f \( -name "*auth*" -o -name "*session*" -o -name "*jwt*" -o -name "*login*" \) -not -path "*/node_modules/*" 2>/dev/null | head -15
+
+# API routes
+find . -type f \( -name "*route*" -o -name "*controller*" -o -name "*api*" -o -name "*endpoint*" \) -not -path "*/node_modules/*" 2>/dev/null | head -15
+
+# Security middleware
+find . -type f \( -name "*middleware*" -o -name "*guard*" -o -name "*interceptor*" \) -not -path "*/node_modules/*" 2>/dev/null | head -10
+
+# Config and secrets
+find . -type f \( -name "*.env*" -o -name "*secret*" -o -name "*config*" -o -name "*credential*" \) -not -path "*/node_modules/*" 2>/dev/null | head -15
+
+# Infrastructure
+find . -type f \( -name "Dockerfile*" -o -name "docker-compose*" -o -name "*.yaml" -o -name "*.yml" \) -not -path "*/node_modules/*" 2>/dev/null | head -20
+```
+
+### Step 3: Check Previous Scan
+
+```bash
+cat .coverme/scan.json 2>/dev/null | head -50 || echo "NO_PREVIOUS_SCAN"
+```
+
+---
+
+## PHASE 2: DEEP ANALYSIS
+
+**Read the critical files you found.** For each file, look for:
+
+### Security (SEC)
+- SQL/NoSQL Injection - string concatenation in queries
+- XSS - unsanitized output
+- Command Injection - user input in shell commands
+- Path Traversal - user input in file paths
+- SSRF - user-controlled URLs
+- Hardcoded Secrets - API keys, passwords in code
+- Weak Crypto - MD5, SHA1 for passwords, weak random
+
+### Authentication (AUTH)
+- JWT issues - algorithm confusion, missing validation
+- Session fixation
+- Password storage - plaintext, weak hashing
+- Missing MFA
+- OAuth misconfigurations
+
+### API Security (API)
+- Missing input validation
+- No rate limiting
+- CORS misconfigurations
+- Missing authentication on endpoints
+- Mass assignment
+
+### Infrastructure (INFRA)
+- Docker running as root
+- Secrets in docker-compose
+- Missing securityContext in K8s
+- No NetworkPolicy
+- Secrets in git history
+- CI/CD security issues
+
+### Business Logic (BIZ)
+- Race conditions (TOCTOU)
+- Authorization bypass
+- Quota/credit manipulation
+- Workflow bypass
+
+### Code Quality (QUAL)
+- No tests for security code
+- Dead code
+- Missing error handling
+
+---
+
+## PHASE 3: GENERATE REPORT
+
+Create `.coverme/scan.json` with this structure:
+
+**IMPORTANT - Required Fields:**
+- `agentCount`: Always set to `1` (you're a single unified agent)
+- `scanDuration`: Track time from start to finish (e.g., "8m 30s" or "512s")
+- `filesScanned`: Total files analyzed (not just files with findings)
+- `linesOfCode`: Total LOC in the codebase
+
+**Optional Sections:**
+- `qualityReview`: Only include if you found dead code/DRY violations. Otherwise, omit this field entirely.

+|-------|---------|
+| 10 | Worst case |
+| 7-9 | Severe |
+| 4-6 | Moderate |
+| 1-3 | Minor |
+
+- **Damage**: Impact if exploited
+- **Reproducibility**: How consistently exploitable
+- **Exploitability**: Skill level needed
+- **Affected Users**: Scope of impact
+- **Discoverability**: How easy to find
+- **Score**: Average of all five
+
+### Attack Chain (REQUIRED for critical/high):
+
+Show step-by-step exploitation:
+```json
+[
+  {"step": 1, "action": "What attacker does", "result": "What happens"},
+  {"step": 2, "action": "Next action", "result": "Escalation"},
+  {"step": 3, "action": "Final action", "result": "Full compromise"}
+]
+```
+
+---
+
+## PHASE 4: SAVE AND OPEN REPORT
+
+After creating the JSON, save it and generate HTML:
+
+```bash
+# Save scan.json (you just wrote it)
+# Generate and open HTML report
+coverme report
+```
+
+The `coverme report` command will:
+1. Read `.coverme/scan.json`
+2. Generate `.coverme/report_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.html`
+3. Open the report in your browser
+
+---
+
+## QUALITY CHECKLIST
+
+Before finishing, verify:
+
+- [ ] Read actual code files, not just file names
+- [ ] Every finding has file + line number
+- [ ] Critical/High findings have DREAD scores
+- [ ] Critical/High findings have attack chains
+- [ ] No duplicate findings
+- [ ] Positive observations have specific evidence
+- [ ] Executive summary is professional and specific
+- [ ] `coverme report` was run to generate HTML
+
+---
+
+## EXAMPLES
+
+### Good Finding:
+```json
+{
+  "id": "AUTH-001",
+  "title": "JWT accepts 'none' algorithm allowing authentication bypass",
+  "severity": "critical",
+  "file": "src/middleware/auth.ts",
+  "line": 34,
+  "code": "jwt.verify(token, secret, { algorithms: ['HS256', 'none'] })",
+  "description": "JWT verification accepts the 'none' algorithm. An attacker can forge tokens by removing the signature and setting alg=none.",
+  "attackChain": [
+    {"step": 1, "action": "Capture valid JWT", "result": "Obtain token structure"},
+    {"step": 2, "action": "Decode, modify claims, set alg=none, remove signature", "result": "Forged admin token"},
+    {"step": 3, "action": "Send forged token", "result": "Authenticated as any user"}
+  ],
+  "dread": {"damage": 10, "reproducibility": 10, "exploitability": 9, "affectedUsers": 10, "discoverability": 7, "score": 9.2}
+}
+```
+
+### Bad Finding (don't do this):
+```json
+{
+  "id": "SEC-001",
+  "title": "SQL Injection",
+  "severity": "high",
+  "description": "There might be SQL injection somewhere"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## REMEMBER
+
+1. **Read code before reporting** - Don't guess
+2. **Be specific** - File names, line numbers, actual code
+3. **DREAD + Attack Chain** - Required for critical/high
+4. **Run `coverme report`** - Opens HTML in browser
+5. **Quality over quantity** - 10 good findings > 50 vague ones
+
+---
+
+## FINAL STEP - MANDATORY!
+
+### Step 1: Validate JSON
+
+After saving `.coverme/scan.json`, validate it:
+
+```bash
+python3 -m json.tool .coverme/scan.json > /dev/null && echo "JSON valid" || echo "JSON invalid - fix it!"
+```
+
+**If JSON is invalid, fix the syntax errors before proceeding!**
+
+Common JSON errors:
+- Missing `]` to close arrays (especially `attackChain`)
+- Missing `}` to close objects
+- Trailing commas before `]` or `}`
+- Unescaped quotes in strings
+
+### Step 2: Generate HTML Report
+
+```bash
+coverme report
+```
+
+**The scan is NOT complete until the HTML report opens in the browser!**
+
+If `coverme report` fails with JSON error, fix the JSON first.

 ## PHASE 2: DEEP ANALYSIS
 
-**Read the critical files you found.** For each file, look for:
-
-### Security (SEC)
-- SQL/NoSQL Injection - string concatenation in queries
-- XSS - unsanitized output
-- Command Injection - user input in shell commands
-- Path Traversal - user input in file paths
-- SSRF - user-controlled URLs
-- Hardcoded Secrets - API keys, passwords in code
-- Weak Crypto - MD5, SHA1 for passwords, weak random
-
-### Authentication (AUTH)
-- JWT issues - algorithm confusion, missing validation
-- Session fixation
-- Password storage - plaintext, weak hashing
-- Missing MFA
-- OAuth misconfigurations
-
-### API Security (API)
-- Missing input validation
-- No rate limiting
-- CORS misconfigurations
-- Missing authentication on endpoints
-- Mass assignment
-
-### Infrastructure (INFRA)
-- Docker running as root
-- Secrets in docker-compose
-- Missing securityContext in K8s
-- No NetworkPolicy
-- Secrets in git history
-- CI/CD security issues
-
-### Business Logic (BIZ)
-- Race conditions (TOCTOU)
-- Authorization bypass
-- Quota/credit manipulation
-- Workflow bypass
-
-### Code Quality (QUAL)
-- No tests for security code
-- Dead code
-- Missing error handling
+**Read the critical files you found.** For each category, actively search for issues:
+
+### 1. SECURITY ISSUES
+
+#### 1.1 Injection Attacks
+- **SQL Injection**: String concatenation in queries, template literals with user input
+  ```bash
+  grep -r "query.*\`.*\$\{" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/
+  grep -r "execute.*+.*req\." --include="*.ts" src/
+  ```
+- **NoSQL Injection**: Unvalidated MongoDB queries, Redis commands with user input
+- **Command Injection**: User input in exec(), spawn(), system calls
+  ```bash
+  grep -r "exec\(.*req\." --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/
+  grep -r "spawn.*\`.*\$\{" --include="*.ts" src/
+  ```
+  **CRITICAL**: Config files are NOT safe! Check if model names, paths, or commands from config files are validated
+- **Path Traversal**: User input in file paths, missing path normalization
+- **SSRF**: User-controlled URLs, unvalidated webhook endpoints
+- **Template Injection**: Server-side template rendering with user input
+- **XSS**: dangerouslySetInnerHTML, innerHTML, eval() with user data
+
+#### 1.2 Authentication & Session Management
+- **Hardcoded Credentials**: Check ENTIRE git history!
+  ```bash
+  # Check if secrets are tracked
+  git ls-files | grep -E "secret|credential|\.env$"
+
+  # Check git HISTORY (even if removed now!)
+  git log --all --full-history -- "**/secrets*" "**/credentials*" "**/*.env"
+  git log --all -p -S "AWS_SECRET" --source --all | head -100
+  ```
+- **JWT Vulnerabilities**: 'none' algorithm accepted, weak secrets, missing validation
+  ```bash
+  grep -r "algorithm.*none" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/
+  grep -r "jwt.verify.*algorithm" --include="*.ts" src/
+  ```
+- **Session Fixation**: Session ID not regenerated after login
+- **Weak Password Storage**: MD5, SHA1, plaintext passwords
+- **Missing Rate Limiting**: No protection on auth endpoints
+- **OAuth Misconfiguration**: Insecure redirect_uri, state parameter issues
+
+#### 1.3 Authorization Issues
+- **IDOR** (Insecure Direct Object References): User can access others' data
+  ```bash
+  # Look for direct ID usage without auth check
+  grep -r "findById.*req\.params" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/
+  ```
+- **Missing Authorization Checks**: Endpoints accessible without proper roles
+- **Privilege Escalation**: Paths to gain higher privileges
+
+#### 1.4 Cryptography
+- **Weak Algorithms**: MD5, SHA1 for passwords, DES, RC4
+  ```bash
+  grep -r "createHash.*md5\|createHash.*sha1" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/
+  ```
+- **Hardcoded Keys**: Encryption keys in code
+- **Weak Random**: Math.random() for security tokens
+- **ECB Mode**: Insecure block cipher mode
+
+#### 1.5 Sensitive Data Exposure
+- **API Keys in Code**: Check git history!
+- **Secrets in Logs**: Password, tokens logged
+  ```bash
+  grep -r "console.log.*password\|logger.*token" --include="*.ts" src/
+  ```
+- **Error Details Leaked**: Stack traces, internal paths in responses
+- **PII in URLs**: Personal data in query strings
+
+#### 1.6 Security Misconfiguration
+- **Debug Mode in Production**: Debug flags, verbose errors
+- **Default Credentials**: Unchanged defaults
+- **Missing Security Headers**: CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options
+  ```bash
+  grep -r "helmet\(\)" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/
+  # If helmet() has no config, report as MEDIUM
+  ```
+- **CORS Misconfiguration**: origin: '*' or reflecting any origin
+  ```bash
+  grep -r "Access-Control-Allow-Origin.*\*\|Access-Control-Allow-Origin.*req\.headers\.origin" --include="*.ts" src/
+  ```
+
+#### 1.7 Race Conditions & Business Logic
+- **TOCTOU** (Time-of-check Time-of-use): Non-atomic check-then-act
+- **Double Spend**: Credits/tokens deducted after use instead of before
+- **Quota Bypass**: Race conditions in rate limiting
+- **Workflow Bypass**: Steps can be skipped
+
+### 2. QUALITY ISSUES (CRITICAL!)
+
+#### 2.1 Silent Failures - **YOUR TOP PRIORITY**
+
+Silent failures are **CRITICAL** because they hide production bugs. Search aggressively:
+
+**Pattern 1: Empty catch blocks**
+```bash
+grep -r "catch.*{[\s]*}" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/
+grep -r "catch.*{\s*//.*\s*}" --include="*.ts" src/
+```
+
+**Pattern 2: Catch with only console.log**
+```bash
+grep -r "catch.*{[\s]*console\." --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/
+```
+
+**Pattern 3: Silent fallbacks**
+```bash
+grep -r "catch.*return \[\]" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/
+grep -r "catch.*return \{\}" --include="*.ts" src/
+grep -r "catch.*return null" --include="*.ts" src/
+grep -r "catch.*return ''" --include="*.ts" src/
+```
+
+**Pattern 4: .catch() with no action**
+```bash
+grep -r "\.catch\(\s*\(\)\s*=>" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/
+grep -r "\.catch\(console\." --include="*.ts" src/
+```
+
+**Examples**:
+```javascript
+// CRITICAL - payment error hidden!
+try {
+  await chargeCard(amount);
+} catch (e) {
+  console.error(e); // Logs but continues to "success" response!
+}
+res.json({ success: true }); // Customer charged $0!
+
+// CRITICAL - authentication bypass
+try {
+  const user = await authenticate(token);
+} catch {
+  // Silent! Attacker can proceed unauthenticated
+}
+
+// CRITICAL - data corruption
+const data = parseData() || []; // Parse error becomes empty array!
+```
+
+#### 2.2 Dead Code Detection
+
+**Strategy**: Build mental call graph, find orphans
+
+```bash
+# Find all exports
+grep -r "export " --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/ | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u
+
+# For suspicious files, verify they're imported
+grep -r "import.*from.*filename" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/
+```
+
+**Check**:
+- Functions with 0 callers (trace usage)
+- Files never imported
+- React components not in any route
+- API endpoints with no frontend calls
+- Event handlers for events never emitted
+- Code behind `if (false)` or `if (0)`
+- Feature flags always false
+
+#### 2.3 Code Duplication
+
+**Active search**:
+```bash
+# Similar function names
+grep -r "function validate" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" src/
+grep -r "function format" --include="*.ts" src/
+grep -r "function handle" --include="*.ts" src/
+
+# Repeated patterns
+grep -r "new Date.*getMonth" --include="*.ts" src/
+grep -r "JSON.parse\|JSON.stringify" --include="*.ts" src/
+```
+
+Report ALL locations, not just first two!
+
+### 3. ARCHITECTURE ISSUES
+
+#### 3.1 Layer Violations
+- Controllers importing database directly (should go through services)
+- UI components making DB queries
+- Domain logic depending on infrastructure
+
+```bash
+# Bad: Controller -> DB (should be Controller -> Service -> Repo -> DB)
+grep -r "import.*database\|import.*db" src/controllers/ src/routes/
+```
+
+#### 3.2 Dependency Issues
+- Circular dependencies
+  ```bash
+  # Find potential circular deps
+  find src/ -name "*.ts" -exec sh -c 'echo "=== {} ===" && grep -o "from ['\''\"]\.[^'\''\"]*" {}' \;
+  ```
+- Missing dependency injection
+- God modules (doing everything)
+
+#### 3.3 Scalability Concerns
+- State stored in memory (not horizontally scalable)
+- Missing queue for long-running tasks
+- No caching strategy
+- Synchronous operations that should be async
+
+### 4. PERFORMANCE ISSUES
+
+#### 4.1 Database Performance
+- **N+1 Queries** - THE MOST COMMON ISSUE!
+  ```javascript
+  // BAD: N+1
+  const users = await User.findAll();
+  for (const user of users) {
+    user.posts = await Post.find({ userId: user.id }); // N queries!
+  }
+
+  // GOOD: Single query
+  const users = await User.findAll({ include: [Post] });
+  ```
+- Unbounded queries (no LIMIT)
+- Missing pagination
+- SELECT * instead of specific columns
+- Missing indexes
+
+#### 4.2 Memory Issues
+- Loading entire files into memory
+- Unbounded array growth
+- Missing streaming for large data
+- Memory leaks (unclosed connections, event listeners)
+
+#### 4.3 Blocking Operations
+- fs.readFileSync in production
+- Synchronous crypto operations
+- CPU-intensive work on main thread
+- Large JSON.parse
+
+#### 4.4 Network Inefficiencies
+- Sequential API calls that could be parallel
+  ```javascript
+  // BAD: Sequential
+  const user = await fetchUser();
+  const posts = await fetchPosts(); // Could be parallel!
+
+  // GOOD: Parallel
+  const [user, posts] = await Promise.all([fetchUser(), fetchPosts()]);
+  ```
+- Missing compression
+- No connection reuse

-## FINAL STEP - MANDATORY!
-
-### Step 1: Validate JSON
-
-After saving `.coverme/scan.json`, validate it:
-
-```bash
-python3 -m json.tool .coverme/scan.json > /dev/null && echo "JSON valid" || echo "JSON invalid - fix it!"
-```
-
-**If JSON is invalid, fix the syntax errors before proceeding!**
-
-Common JSON errors:
-- Missing `]` to close arrays (especially `attackChain`)
-- Missing `}` to close objects
-- Trailing commas before `]` or `}`
-- Unescaped quotes in strings
-
-### Step 2: Generate HTML Report
-
-```bash
-coverme report
-```
-
-**The scan is NOT complete until the HTML report opens in the browser!**
-
-If `coverme report` fails with JSON error, fix the JSON first.
+START SCANNING NOW. Be methodical, thorough, and think deeply. Your reputation depends on finding what others miss.
