What the skill teaches
A short skill from AWS's agent toolkit that runs an AWS Security Agent scan limited to the code that changed since a given git reference, for example before a commit, a push or a pull request. It explains where the workspace keeps its Security Agent settings, how to work out the values a scan needs, the steps to start the diff scan and collect its results, and rules the agent must follow while doing so. It is meant as a fast pre-commit security check rather than a full repository review, and belongs to the aws-agents-for-devsecops plugin, which also contains the skill that sets up Security Agent.
Capabilities
- Scan only the changed code with AWS Security Agent
- Run a security check before committing or opening a pull request
- Collect diff scan findings
