Skill Detail

Scan LLM-generated code before use with CodeShield

Run CodeShield on model-produced code or command suggestions before they reach a user, a repo, or an execution step, so insecure patterns get blocked or warned on first.

Quick brief

Use CodeShield when an agent produces code or shell suggestions that should be screened for insecure patterns before they are shown, committed, or executed. CodeShield is an inference-time filtering layer designed to inspect LLM output, detect insecure code across multiple languages, and either block or warn on risky results.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Invoke it at the handoff boundary between generation and action, especially in coding assistants, chat-based code help, and automated fix pipelines. The scope boundary is narrow and skill-shaped: this is an output-scanning guardrail for generated code, not a general LLM platform, SDK listing, or broad application security suite.
