Skill instructions

Security Validation Objective Take candidate findings from discovery and produce the strongest evidence-backed validation assessment you can. Prefer targeted, non-interactive reproduction or falsification when it is feasible and proportionate, but use focused code tracing when dynamic execution is blocked by missing services, unavailable infrastructure, or excessive setup relative to the candidate and scan scope. Artifact Resolution The path references in this skill are the default locations for this phase. If the user explicitly provides a different path for a required input or output, use the user-provided path instead of the corresponding default path referenced in this skill. If a required input is still missing, stop and ask the user for it before continuing. Use the shared scan artifact path conventions in ../../references/scan-artifacts.md. Workflow 1. Before starting, create a detailed validation rubric with up to five criteria for the candidate. 2. For each candidate finding,
