What ghost-report does

The skill reads results from three scans: scan-deps for dependencies, scan-secrets for credentials and scan-code for SAST. It then filters by confidence. From deps only confirmed-exploitable survives, from secrets everything except clean and rejected, from code the verified and unverified ones. Statuses clean, rejected and false-positive are dropped.

What remains gets sorted: high first, then medium, then low, and within one severity deps comes before secrets before code. High findings land in the report in full, code snippets, assessment tables and remediation commands included. Medium findings each get their own subsection with description, location and code context. Low findings stay out and live only in the per-scan files.

The scans have to exist first. If the directory holds no deps/, secrets/ or code/, the skill stops and asks you to run /ghost-scan-deps, /ghost-scan-secrets or /ghost-scan-code. A finished report.md is cached per commit, so a second run on the same SHA just prints the path. The skill does all the work itself and spawns no subagents.

What it helps with

  • merge findings from three scans into one file
  • drop false positives before anyone reads the report
  • rank vulnerabilities by severity and scan type
  • get a self-contained report with no links to finding files
  • check which scans already ran for the current commit

Example prompts for the agent

  • Build the combined security report for this repo
  • Run a full security audit and show only high and medium findings
  • Aggregate scan-deps, scan-secrets and scan-code results into one report

Questions about ghost-report

How do I install ghost-report in Claude?

With the skills CLI: npx skills add ghostsecurity/skills --skill ghost-report -a claude-code. Or npx skills add ghostsecurity/skills --skill report -a claude-code, which puts the file at ~/.claude/skills/report/SKILL.md.

What does ghost-report do?

It aggregates findings from the scan-deps, scan-secrets and scan-code skills into one prioritized report. High findings are inlined in full, medium ones get a subsection, low ones are left out.

What has to run before the report?

At least one scan must already be done. Otherwise the skill reports an error and points you to /ghost-scan-deps, /ghost-scan-secrets or /ghost-scan-code.

# Combined Security Report

You aggregate findings from all scan skills (scan-deps, scan-secrets, scan-code) into a single prioritized report. Do all work yourself — do not spawn subagents or delegate.

$ARGUMENTS

---

## Step 0: Setup

Run this Bash command to compute paths:
```bash
repo_name=$(basename "$(pwd)") && remote_url=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null || pwd) && short_hash=$(printf '%s' "$remote_url" | git hash-object --stdin | cut -c1-8) && repo_id="${repo_name}-${short_hash}" && short_sha=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD 2>/dev/null || date +%Y%m%d) && ghost_repo_dir="$HOME/.ghost/repos/${repo_id}" && scans_dir="${ghost_repo_dir}/scans/${short_sha}" && cache_dir="${ghost_repo_dir}/cache" && skill_dir=$(find . -path '*/skills/report/SKILL.md' 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs dirname) && echo "scans_dir=$scans_dir cache_dir=$cache_dir skill_dir=$skill_dir"
```

Store `scans_dir` (commit-level scan directory), `cache_dir`, and `skill_dir`.

---

## Cache Check

If `<scans_dir>/report.md` already exists, show:

```
Combined security report is at: <scans_dir>/report.md
```

And stop. Do not regenerate it.

---

## Step 1: Read Repo Context

Read `<cache_dir>/repo.md` if it exists. Extract:
- Business criticality
- Sensitive data types
- Component map

If it does not exist, continue without it — this is not an error.

---

## Step 2: Discover Scan Results

List the contents of `<scans_dir>` to see which scan-type directories exist. Recognized types:
- `deps/` — SCA / dependency vulnerability scan
- `secrets/` — secrets and credentials scan
- `code/` — code security scan (SAST)

If none of these directories exist, report an error:

```
No scan results found in <scans_dir>. Run one or more scan skills first:
  /ghost-scan-deps
  /ghost-scan-secrets
  /ghost-scan-code
```

And stop.

---

## Step 3: Collect Findings

For each scan type that exists, glob `<scans_dir>/<type>/findings/*.md` and read each finding file **in full**. Retain the complete markdown body of every finding — the report will inline this content directly so readers never need to open individual finding files.

From each finding, also extract these metadata fields for filtering and sorting:

- **ID** — from `## Metadata` → `ID`
- **Type** — the scan type (`deps`, `secrets`, or `code`)
- **Severity** — from `## Metadata` → `Severity` (high, medium, low)
- **Status** — from `## Metadata` → `Status` (e.g., confirmed-exploitable, unverified, verified, rejected, clean)

---

## Step 4: Filter and Sort

**Filter:** Keep only high-confidence findings:
- For `deps` findings: status is `confirmed-exploitable`
- For `secrets` findings: status is NOT `clean` and NOT `rejected`
- For `code` findings: status is `verified` or `unverified` (NOT `rejected`)

**Exclude** any finding with status `clean`, `rejected`, or `false-positive`.

**Sort** the remaining findings:
1. By severity: high first, then medium, then low
2. Within same severity: deps before secrets before code

---

## Step 5: Read Per-Scan Reports

For `deps` and `secrets` scan types, read `<scans_dir>/<type>/report.md` if present. Extract:
- Statistics (candidates scanned, confirmed findings, false positives filtered)
- Executive summary highlights

Note: `code` does not produce a `report.md`. For code scan coverage, count the finding files in `<scans_dir>/code/findings/` directly. The "Candidates Scanned" count is the total number of finding files (all statuses). "Confirmed Findings" is the count with status `verified`, `confirmed`, or `unverified`. "False Positives Filtered" is the count with status `rejected`. Do NOT count clean file analyses from the nomination/analysis funnel — those never became findings.

If a per-scan report does not exist for deps or secrets, note it as unavailable.

---

## Step 6: Generate Report

1. Read `<skill_dir>/report-template.md`
2. Populate the template with collected data:
   - Fill Scan Information with repository name, commit SHA, date, and which scans ran
   - Write Executive Summary using repo context and aggregated findings
   - For all writing elements in this security-focused, objective and fact based report, use a neutral, human tone that balances expertise with ease of reading. Do not use emojis, em-dashes, etc.
   - For Critical & High findings (severity = high): inline the substantive content from each finding file directly into the report — include code snippets, assessment tables, remediation commands, and all relevant detail so the report is fully self-contained
   - For Medium findings: write a full subsection per finding with description, location, code context, and remediation (not a condensed table)
   - Omit low-severity findings (they remain in per-scan finding files only)
   - Fill Scan Coverage table from per-scan report statistics (for code, use finding file counts from Step 5)
   - Add a brief methodology note per scan type that ran (1-2 sentences drawn from per-scan reports)
   - Do NOT include links to per-scan reports or individual finding files — all content is inlined
3. Write the report to `<scans_dir>/report.md`

---

## Step 7: Show Output

```
Combined security report is at: <scans_dir>/report.md
```
