About

Brakeman is a specialized security skill for Claude Code designed to detect vulnerabilities in Ruby on Rails applications without requiring a running environment. It enables developers to perform deep security audits, identify risks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting, and manage security posture directly within their workflow. It is particularly useful for automated security reviews, CI/CD pipeline integration, and maintaining high security standards in complex Rails codebases by analyzing source code for over 30 types of vulnerabilities.

Key Features

• Static analysis for 30+ vulnerability types including SQLi, XSS, and Mass Assignment
• Security scan comparison to track improvements or regressions over time
• 0 GitHub stars
• Multi-format reporting including HTML, JSON, Markdown, and JUnit for automation
• Configurable confidence levels and check filtering for targeted security audits
• Interactive false positive management with brakeman.ignore configuration

Use Cases

• Performing automated security audits during code reviews or before production deployments
• Integrating security scanning into GitHub Actions or other CI/CD pipelines
• Investigating and remediating specific vulnerability patterns in legacy Rails applications
