snyk-fix

Complete security remediation workflow. Scans code for vulnerabilities using Snyk, fixes them, validates the fix, and optionally creates a PR. Supports both single-issue and batch mode for multiple vulnerabilities. Use this skill when: - User asks to fix security vulnerabilities - User mentions "snyk fix", "security fix", or "remediate vulnerabilities" - User wants to fix a specific CVE, Snyk ID, or vulnerability type (XSS, SQL injection, path traversal, etc.) - User wants to upgrade a vulnerable dependency - User asks to "fix all" vulnerabilities or "fix all high/critical" issues (batch mode)

Quality

Content

77%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a thorough, highly actionable remediation workflow with strong sequencing and validation, but it is monolithic and somewhat redundant. Splitting reference material into bundle files and de-duplicating the Constraints/Error-Handling sections would raise the two middle dimensions.

Suggestions

Move the large inline reference material (SCA Strategy A/B/C decision trees, the No-Fix/Advisory report templates, and the package-manager command table) into files under references/ and link to them from SKILL.md to improve progressive disclosure.

De-duplicate the Constraints and Error Handling sections, which restate rules already specified in Phases 4 and 5, to tighten conciseness.

Consider a short overview/quick-start section at the top so the detailed phased walkthrough reads as progressive detail rather than a wall of process.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient and skill-specific (Snyk decision trees, breakability handling), but the Constraints and Error Handling sections restate phase content and the ~510-line body could be tightened; not the lean every-token-earns-its-place anchor at 3.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands ("git checkout -b fix/security-<identifier>", "gh pr create --title ... --base main", "npm install <pkg>@<version>", "mvn dependency:resolve") and concrete tool invocations with parameters, matching the highest anchor.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Clear phased sequence (Parse -> Scan -> Analyze -> Fix -> Validate -> Summary -> PR) with explicit validation checkpoints (re-scan, tests, lint), retry/rollback feedback loops, batch-mode confirmation, and completion checklists; batch/destructive ops have validation, so not capped at 2.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	Well-organized into phases but it is a single monolithic ~510-line file with no bundle files or external references, and reference-like content (SCA strategy decision trees, report templates, install-command table) is inline rather than split out; not the one-level-deep-references anchor at 3.	2 / 3

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is strong: third-person voice, concrete actions, an explicit "Use this skill when" trigger list, and a distinct Snyk-scoped niche. It cleanly satisfies every dimension at the top anchor with no fluff or over-claims.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions - "Scans code for vulnerabilities using Snyk, fixes them, validates the fix, and optionally creates a PR" plus "Supports both single-issue and batch mode" - matching the highest anchor rather than the partial-action anchor at 2.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly states both what ("Complete security remediation workflow... Scans... fixes... validates... creates a PR") and when via a literal "Use this skill when:" block with five bullet triggers, satisfying the explicit-both-what-and-when anchor.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Covers natural phrasings users would say - "snyk fix", "security fix", "remediate vulnerabilities", "fix all high/critical", and specific CVE/Snyk ID/vuln-type references - rather than the jargon-only anchor at 1 or the partial-coverage anchor at 2.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear Snyk-specific security-remediation niche with triggers tied to Snyk/CVE identifiers, making conflicts with unrelated skills unlikely rather than the overlapping anchor at 2.	3 / 3
