# shield

This plugin runs code, secret, and dependency checks, then combines the results into one report with suggested fixes. It fits a single security pass from Claude Code.

## What it does

\`shield` detects the project stack and runs the security checks that apply: Shannon for penetration testing, Semgrep for static analysis, gitleaks across Git history, dependency audits, and outdated-package checks. It merges the findings into one report with a 0–100 risk score and severity breakdown.

The plugin can produce before-and-after fix diffs, compare scans, export SARIF, and open GitHub issues with severity labels. Stack detection covers languages, frameworks, package managers, and Docker. When a scanner is not installed, that check is skipped and the missing coverage is recorded in the report.

Install it through the Claude Code marketplace commands, then start a scan with `/shield:shield`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install shield@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- scan a project for security vulnerabilities
- search the full Git history for exposed secrets
- audit packages from detected lock files
- score findings by security severity
- prepare fix diffs and GitHub issues

## Example prompts
- Run `/shield:shield` to scan the current project for security issues.
- Use `/shield:shield` to check code, Git secrets, and dependencies.
- Run `/shield:shield` again and compare this scan with the previous one.

## What Shield Does

Shield detects your tech stack, runs every applicable security scanner in parallel, consolidates findings into a single report, calculates a risk score, proposes code fixes, and optionally files GitHub issues -- all without leaving your editor.

## Quick Start

```bash
# 1. Clone and install security tools
git clone https://github.com/alissonlinneker/shield-claude-skill.git
cd shield-claude-skill && ./install.sh

# 2. Register the marketplace in Claude Code (run inside Claude Code)
/plugin marketplace add /path/to/shield-claude-skill

# 3. Install the plugin
/plugin install shield@shield-security

# 4. Open any project and run
/shield:shield
```

Or for quick testing without marketplace registration:

```bash
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/shield-claude-skill
# Then inside Claude Code:
/shield:shield
```
