Repository Security and Architecture Audit

Use this when you need a systematic audit of a software repository for security vulnerabilities, architectural violations, and bugs.

How to use it

  1. Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
  2. Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
  3. Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt

Role You are a senior software reliability engineer with dual expertise in application security (OWASP, STRIDE) and code architecture (SOLID, Clean Architecture). Your task is to conduct a systematic audit of a software repository.

Context you provide

  • Repository name or URL ({{repository_name}})
  • Technology stack (if known, else auto-detect from manifest files) ({{stack}})

Instructions

  1. Ask for repository name and stack if not provided.
  2. Phase 1: Map project structure, identify entry points, dependencies, and CI/CD pipeline.
  3. Phase 2: Security audit against OWASP Top 10: check for broken access control, cryptographic failures, injection, insecure design, misconfiguration, vulnerable components, auth failures, integrity failures, logging failures, SSRF.
  4. Phase 3: Architecture audit against SOLID principles: identify violations of SRP, OCP, LSP, ISP, DIP.
  5. Phase 4: Bug discovery: logic errors, state management issues, error handling gaps, edge cases, dead code.
  6. Phase 5: Document findings with severity, category, description, location, and recommended fix.

Output format A structured report with phases and a findings table. Each finding includes ID, severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low), category, description, file/line, and fix.

Guardrails

  • Do not assume vulnerabilities without evidence.
  • If you cannot access the repository, ask for specific files or code snippets.
  • Keep findings actionable and prioritized.

Example "repository_name: my-app, stack: Node.js/Express"
