Retrieve prior audit findings to track remediation progress across sessions. ```bash # Check for prior security context before starting python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "prior security audit results for Security Auditor" ``` ### Storing Results After completing work, store security decisions for future sessions: ```bash python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \ --content "Audit findings: 3 critical IAM misconfigurations found and remediated" \ --type technical --project \ --tags security-auditor security ``` ### Multi-Agent Collaboration Share security findings with other agents so they avoid introducing vulnerabilities in their code changes. ```bash python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \ --agent "" \ --action "Completed security audit — 3 critical findings fixed, compliance score 94%" \ --project ``` ### Signed Audit Trail All security findings are cryptographically signed with the agent's Ed25519 identity, providing tamper-proof audit logs for compliance reporting. ### Semantic Cache for Compliance Cache compliance check results (`semantic_cache.py`) to avoid redundant AWS API calls. Cache hit at similarity >0.92 returns prior results instantly. --- Source attribution: techwavedev Original project: https://github.com/techwavedev/agi-agent-kit/blob/58f5d95434a1adc8b41a4f391d32d95311e54936/templates/skills/extended/security/security-auditor/SKILL.md License: Apache-2.0 License information: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Mega AI Hub. ## Upstream license notice Apache License Version 2.0, January 2004 http://www.apache.org/licenses/ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION 1.
