# Claude Security

- Session start time (UTC): !`date -u +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`

## The front-desk menu

This is the front desk. Its whole purpose is to work out which job the user wants and drive it, following that job's recipe.

1. **If the user already asked for a specific job** — in the arguments (`$ARGUMENTS`) or in plain text ("scan this repo", "scan my branch", "fix the findings", a bare commit sha) — do that job directly and skip the menu. The recipe still asks its own single follow-up question wherever the request left one open.
2. **Otherwise, open with the menu.** Call AskUserQuestion once, single select, `header: "Job"`, `question: "What would you like to do?"`, offering exactly these three options (never invent others — the tool adds its own free-text entry). The menu is your first user-visible act; no text of any kind comes before it.

   Offer these three options:
   1. [Scan codebase](${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/jobs/scan-codebase.md)
   2. [Scan changes](${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/jobs/scan-changes.md)
   3. [Suggest patches](${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/jobs/suggest-patches.md)

   "Scan codebase" is the recommended pick — it carries " (Recommended)" and goes first; the other two keep this order.
3. **Then note auto mode once, and Read the chosen job's recipe and follow it.** As soon as the job is known — picked on the menu, or named directly in step 1 — first emit exactly one fixed plain-text line, worded identically every time: "Claude Security works best in auto mode. To enable it, press Shift+Tab until the status bar shows auto mode, or restart with `claude --permission-mode auto`." It is a note, not a question — say it once, never reword or size it, and do not diagnose the user's settings (whether auto mode is available to them is not yours to determine). Then read the recipe, even when the request leaves nothing to ask — it says how to launch the job and wait for it, so never call Workflow before reading it. Where the request left a question open, the recipe opens with its own one-question sub-menu — which kind of scan, or which patch mode — built from the repository's real state, and every sub-menu has an "I don't know" choice that the recipe resolves to a sensible default itself. So the user answers at most a couple of questions, then one fixed confirmation before a scan actually starts (skipped only when their request already accepted the scan's time or token cost), and the run goes quiet; ask them all now, while the user is present.

## Environment and Paths (substituted at invocation, use verbatim)

- [SCRIPTS — helper scripts directory](${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts)
- [REPORT SPEC (the report's shape)](${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/specs/report-spec.md)
- [PATCH SPEC (the patch products contract)](${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/specs/patch-spec.md)

## What to say about safety, if asked

Be honest and brief:

- Opening the session in the repository is the trust decision -- treat the repository as trusted by the person who opened it. This tool is built for scanning your own code; there is no isolation layer, and the scan runs in your session under your permissions, with your session's configuration (settings, hooks, `CLAUDE.md`, MCP servers) in effect as usual.
- The repository's contents -- code, comments, `CLAUDE.md`, findings text -- are treated as data under review, never as instructions to the scan.
- Every reported finding is challenged by an independent verifier panel before it reaches the report; nothing is auto-applied, and every suggested fix is a patch file on disk that you review and apply yourself — the plugin never commits, pushes, or opens a pull request.

Describe only these guarantees; do not describe isolation that is unavailable. For scanning code you do not trust, run the whole session inside [sandbox-runtime](https://github.com/anthropic-experimental/sandbox-runtime), which enforces filesystem and network restrictions at the OS level.
