RepoSentrix 🛡️
Open-Source Security & Policy Layer for AI-Assisted Software Development

Know what your AI-assisted repository can read, execute, change, and expose before that behavior reaches production.
🌟 Overview
AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Roo Code) dramatically accelerate software development. However, rapid AI code generation introduces new security challenges:
- AI Prompt Injection & Instruction Overrides in
AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules.
- Exposed Cloud & API Credentials in local config and environment files.
- Dangerous Remote Automation (e.g.
curl | bash, destructive disk commands).
- Overly Permissive CI Permissions (e.g.
permissions: write-all).
- Unvetted Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server Configurations and plain token leakage.
RepoSentrix is a lightweight, local-first Python engine, CLI, VS Code Extension, and GitHub Action that gives developers and teams a transparent, explainable safety layer.
✨ Features
- 🔒 100% Local-First: No source code is sent to external services or third-party APIs.
- 🎯 High-Signal Rulesets:
SEC: Private keys, Cloud & API credentials (AWS, OpenAI, GitHub, Stripe, Slack), and Shannon entropy analysis.
AI: Prompt injection vectors, safety policy override attempts, credential exfiltration requests, and shadow rule conflicts.
AUT: Unverified remote shell execution (curl | bash), destructive disk operations, and obfuscated payloads.
CI: GitHub Actions permissions: write-all, pull_request_target pwn-request patterns, and plaintext workflow secrets.
CFG & MCP: Model Context Protocol server configuration audits, Docker socket mounts, and chmod 777 permissions.
- 📊 Executive Dashboard & Attestation Certificate: Generates single-file standalone HTML reports with interactive SVG score gauges, score trends, category charts, and cryptographic HMAC security attestation seals.
- ⚡ Lightning-Fast Git Hooks: Sub-200ms pre-commit hook scanning only staged files (
reposentrix diff --staged).
- 🔧 Automated Safe Remediation (
reposentrix fix): One-click fixes for .gitignore exclusions, CI permission scoping, and permission patches.
- 🧩 VS Code Integration: Native editor diagnostics, Problems panel integration, Sidebar tree views, and embedded full-screen Webview dashboard.
- 🚀 GitHub Actions & SARIF: Direct integration into GitHub Code Scanning security tab via standard OASIS SARIF v2.1.0.
🚀 Quick Start
1. Installation
pip install reposentrix
2. Scan Current Repository
# Terminal human-readable report
reposentrix scan .
# Generate Executive HTML Report with Security Attestation Seal
reposentrix scan . --format html --output report.html
# Generate SARIF for GitHub Code Scanning
reposentrix scan . --format sarif --output reposentrix.sarif
# Machine-readable JSON
reposentrix scan . --format json
# Preview fixable issues
reposentrix fix --dry-run
# Apply deterministic fixes
reposentrix fix
4. Install Git Pre-Commit Hook
reposentrix hook install
5. Verify Cryptographic Report Authenticity
reposentrix verify report.html
⚙️ Repository Policy (reposentrix.toml)
Define your team's security standards with reposentrix.toml:
[policy]
fail_on = "high"
[secrets]
enabled = true
allow_examples = true
[ai]
instructions = "review"
external_downloads = "block"
secret_access = "block"
conflict_mode = "warn"
[automation]
remote_shell = "block"
destructive_commands = "block"
[ci]
require_explicit_permissions = true
deny_write_all = true
[mcp]
enforce_least_privilege = true
deny_plaintext_secrets = true
[paths]
ignore = [
"examples/**",
"fixtures/**",
"node_modules/**"
]
🐍 Python Library API
RepoSentrix can be embedded directly into custom Python tools, CI scripts, or testing frameworks:
from reposentrix import scan
report = scan(
path=".",
fail_on="high",
config="reposentrix.toml",
)
print(f"Score: {report.score}/100 ({report.posture})")
print(f"Policy Status: {report.policy_status}")
for finding in report.findings:
if finding.status != "suppressed":
print(f"[{finding.severity.upper()}] {finding.rule_id}: {finding.title} ({finding.file}:{finding.line})")
🐙 GitHub Actions Integration
Add .github/workflows/security.yml:
name: RepoSentrix Security Scan
on:
push:
branches: [main]
pull_request:
branches: [main]
jobs:
scan:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: reposentrix/reposentrix-action@v1
with:
fail-on: high
format: sarif
💻 VS Code Extension
Install the RepoSentrix extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace to get:
- Real-time inline diagnostics in code files.
- Activity Bar container with Security Scorecard, Findings Tree, Policy Matrix, and Rule Explorer.
- Full interactive Executive Report rendered inside a VS Code editor tab.
- Quick-Fix Code Actions directly from the editor lightbulb.
