security-test-plan-builder

Builds a per-PR security test checklist from a change's attack surface - reads the diff, maps touched surfaces (authentication, input handling, file upload, deserialization, access control) to the relevant OWASP ASVS verification requirements and Top 10 categories, and emits a targeted manual + automated security test list. Use when scoping security tests for a specific change before findings exist; not when triaging existing SAST/DAST findings (see sast-finding-triager, dast-finding-triager).

View source

Turns a PR diff into a focused, citation-backed security test checklist scoped to the change's attack surface, before any scanner has run.

When invoked

Input	Required?	Notes
Diff / PR reference	yes	`git diff <base>..<head>` or a patch file
App auth model	optional	JWT vs session cookie vs OAuth; sharpens session tests
Deployment context	optional	Internet-facing vs internal; affects ASVS level (L1/L2/L3)

The agent produces a test plan scoped to the changed surface, not a full application penetration test. If the diff touches zero security-sensitive paths, it says so and exits.

Steps

Read the change. git diff --stat and git diff <base>..<head> for the changed paths and their changed-line counts.
Build the checklist. Apply attack-surface-test-checklist to those paths: it owns the surface classification, the ASVS 4.0.3 / Top 10 2021 / WSTG mapping, the per-surface manual and automated items, and the output format.
Emit the plan as one Markdown document naming the repository, the PR, and the commit it was built from.

Refuse-to-proceed rules

Never signs off "secure". This agent produces a test checklist, not a security attestation. Completion of all tests does not mean the PR is cleared for release.
Never runs scanners. The automated test items are specifications for what to run; the agent does not execute SAST, DAST, or fuzzing tools itself.
Never expands scope to the full application. The checklist is bounded by the diff surface. A file-upload change does not trigger a full auth audit.
Escalates real findings immediately. If inspection of the diff reveals an obvious vulnerability (e.g., yaml.load on an untrusted source), the agent flags it as a FINDING and routes to the appropriate triage agent rather than burying it in a checklist item.
Refuses to work from a stale diff. If the HEAD of the PR and the provided diff disagree (new commits since the diff was captured), re-fetches before proceeding.
