Research direction

No files are named, so first inspect the repository documentation structure to find where security or governance guidance is stored and linked. Read existing guides to match tone, location, and any index-update pattern. Then draft/update a docs page covering all requested topics, including evidence-backed guidance and security-review usage. It is done when the guide is published in the docs area and discoverable from existing documentation navigation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Summary

Add a guide on security & governance for AI-generated code. AI-assisted developers ship far faster but introduce security findings at a much higher rate, which matters for our context. We need clear, practical guidance so colleagues use agents safely.

The guide should cover

  • The risk: higher defect/vulnerability rate in agent-generated code, and why review still matters.
  • What never to put in a prompt (secrets, credentials, customer/sensitive data).
  • Guardrails: PR gates, secret scanning, dependency/license checks, human-in-the-loop review.
  • How to use the security-review skill as part of the flow.
  • Sensible defaults for reviewing and verifying AI changes before merge.

Notes

  • Back the findings with web research across multiple independent sources.
  • Keep it practical and tool-general (GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenCode, Pi); aim at a regulated/enterprise context.
