❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can this replace a dedicated SAST tool?
AI-based security review is complementary to SAST tools. Use it as a first-pass filter, not a replacement.
Can this debug production issues?
Yes, but always ensure you have proper logging and monitoring in place first.
Is hardware-security compatible with Cursor and VS Code?
Yes — this skill works with any AI coding assistant including Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, and JetBrains IDEs.
Do I need specific dependencies for hardware-security?
Check the install command and Works With section. Most code skills only require the AI assistant and your codebase.
How do I install hardware-security?
Copy the install command from the Terminal tab and run it. The skill downloads to ./skills/hardware-security/SKILL.md, ready to use.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
Only scanning surface-level issues
Deep security review requires understanding your app architecture, not just regex patterns.
Debugging without context
Always provide the full error stack and surrounding code context for accurate debugging.
Skipping validation
Always test AI-generated code changes, even for simple refactors.
Missing dependency updates
Check if the skill requires updated dependencies or new packages.
