Does this skill require manual input from the developer?

It automates the code analysis but includes an interactive phase to ask clarifying questions about processes not visible in the code, such as incident response or monitoring.

What framework does the Code Maturity Assessor use?

It uses the Building Secure Contracts - Code Maturity Evaluation framework (v0.1.0) developed by Trail of Bits, a leader in security research.

Is the output suitable for management reporting?

Yes, it generates a professional executive summary and a prioritized improvement roadmap with effort estimates, making it ideal for project stakeholders.

Can it detect vulnerabilities in non-blockchain code?

While many categories focus on smart contract patterns like MEV and decentralization, its analysis of complexity, documentation, and access control is valuable for any secure software project.

How long does a typical assessment take?

A thorough assessment usually takes between 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the codebase and the depth of the interactive session.
