name: package-json-scripts-auditor
description: Audits the scripts section of an npm package.json for safety and clarity: risky install hooks, curl-pipe-to-shell, rm -rf, sudo, inline secrets, unpinned npx, non-portable shell syntax, placeholder test scripts, missing standard scripts, and confusing names. Use when reviewing a repo, a dependency, or a PR that changes package.json scripts. Includes a stdlib Python auditor with severity levels.

# package.json Scripts Auditor

You review the `scripts` block of a Node.js `package.json` and explain what each script does, which ones are risky, and how to make the set clearer and more portable. You cover two audiences: maintainers tidying their own project, and reviewers checking whether a dependency or PR runs anything dangerous at install time. You never run the scripts yourself; you read them.

## Files in this skill

- `scripts/audit_scripts.py` - reads a package.json and reports findings with severity (high, medium, low, info) and a suggested fix (Python 3 standard library only)
- `references/script-conventions.md` - standard script names, lifecycle hooks, naming, and portability conventions
- `references/dangerous-patterns.md` - patterns that deserve a closer look, why they matter, and safer alternatives
- `templates/audit-report.md` - the report shape to return
- `examples/package.json` - a deliberately messy example to practice on

## Workflow

### 1. Collect context
Ask for the full `package.json` (not only `scripts`, since `name`, `private`, `bin`, `workspaces`, and `packageManager` matter), and whether this is the user's own project or a third-party package. Ask which OS the team uses (Windows support changes portability advice).

### 2. Run the auditor
```
python3 scripts/audit_scripts.py path/to/package.json
python3 scripts/audit_scripts.py --json path/to/package.json
python3 scripts/audit_scripts.py --self-test
```
Exit code 0 = no high findings, 1 = at least one high finding, 2 = file error.

### 3. Review manually
The script is pattern-based. Also read each script yourself and check:
- Lifecycle hooks (`preinstall`, `install`, `postinstall`, `prepare`) run automatically for consumers; any network call or file write outside the project there is a red flag.
- Scripts that call other files (`node scripts/setup.js`, `sh ./build.sh`): ask to see those files before calling the package safe.
- Obfuscation (base64, hex strings, `eval`, `node -e` with long one-liners) deserves high suspicion.

### 4. Recommend
Use `references/script-conventions.md` and `references/dangerous-patterns.md` to propose concrete replacements: `rimraf` or `del-cli` instead of `rm -rf`, `cross-env` instead of `VAR=value cmd`, pinned `npx pkg@1.2.3`, `prepublishOnly` running tests, and grouped names like `lint:js`, `test:unit`.

### 5. Report
Fill `templates/audit-report.md`: verdict, findings table, a rewritten `scripts` block, and follow-up questions.

## Rules

- Rate severity by impact: anything that can run remote code or delete files outside the project on install is high.
- Do not accuse authors of malice; describe the behavior and the risk.
- Keep the user's existing script names when renaming would break CI, and say which CI files would need updating if you do suggest a rename.
- Suggest `npm install --ignore-scripts` for auditing untrusted packages, and `npm config set ignore-scripts true` only with the trade-offs explained.
FILE:references/dangerous-patterns.md
# Dangerous and Risky Script Patterns

| Pattern | Example | Why it matters | Safer alternative | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remote script piped to a shell | `curl -fsSL https://x.sh \| sh` | Runs whatever the server returns, unpinned and unverified | Vendor the script, pin by checksum, or use a published package | high |
| Network fetch in install hooks | `"postinstall": "node download.js"` / `wget` | Runs on every consumer's machine at install time | Ship artifacts in the package, or make the step opt-in | high |
| Recursive delete of broad paths | `rm -rf /`, `rm -rf ~`, `rm -rf $DIR/` with unset var | Can wipe data outside the project | `rimraf dist`, explicit relative paths | high |
| `sudo` | `sudo npm i -g x` | Escalates privileges from a script | Never require root in scripts; document manual steps | high |
| `eval` / encoded payloads | `eval "$(echo ... \| base64 -d)"`, `node -e "...Buffer.from('..','base64')"` | Hides what runs | Plain, readable commands in files | high |
| Inline secrets | `API_TOKEN=abc123 node deploy.js` | Leaks in git history and CI logs | Environment variables from a secret store or `.env` not committed | high |
| World-writable permissions | `chmod 777`, `chmod -R a+w` | Lets any user modify files | Minimal permissions (`chmod +x file`) | medium |
| Skipping safety checks | `git commit --no-verify`, `npm publish --force`, `--unsafe-perm` | Bypasses hooks and protections | Fix the failing check instead | medium |
| Unpinned `npx` / `dlx` | `npx create-thing` | Downloads and runs the latest version at run time | `npx create-thing@3.2.1` or add as devDependency | medium |
| Global installs in scripts | `npm i -g typescript` | Changes the user's machine; versions drift | devDependency + local bin | medium |
| Plain HTTP URLs | `curl http://...` | Can be tampered with in transit | HTTPS | medium |
| `git push` / `npm publish` in hooks | `"postbuild": "npm publish"` | Accidental releases | Explicit `release` script run by CI | medium |
| Non-portable shell syntax | `NODE_ENV=prod`, `export`, `cp -r` | Breaks on Windows | `cross-env`, `cpy-cli`, Node scripts | low |
| Placeholder test | `echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1` | CI fails or tests silently missing | Real test runner | low |
| Very long one-liners | > 200 chars | Hard to review; hides risk | Move to a script file | low |

## Review tips
- For third-party packages: inspect with `npm pack <pkg>` and read the tarball, or install with `--ignore-scripts` first.
- Follow file references: `node scripts/postinstall.js` is only as safe as that file.
- Watch for `prepare` in git dependencies: it runs when installing from a git URL.
FILE:references/script-conventions.md
# npm Script Conventions

## Standard names
| Script | Purpose | Run with |
|---|---|---|
| `start` | Run the app in production mode | `npm start` |
| `dev` | Run with watch / hot reload | `npm run dev` |
| `build` | Produce build output | `npm run build` |
| `test` | Run the test suite (CI default) | `npm test` |
| `lint` | Static checks | `npm run lint` |
| `format` | Apply formatter | `npm run format` |
| `typecheck` | `tsc --noEmit` or similar | `npm run typecheck` |
| `clean` | Remove build artifacts | `npm run clean` |

Use a colon to group variants: `test:unit`, `test:e2e`, `lint:css`, `build:docs`. Use `npm-run-all` / `run-p` / `run-s`, or `npm run a && npm run b`, to compose them.

## Lifecycle hooks
| Hook | Runs when | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `preinstall`, `install`, `postinstall` | Your package is installed, including as a dependency | Runs on every consumer's machine. Keep empty unless compiling native code. |
| `prepare` | After local `npm install` and before `npm publish`/`npm pack`; also for git dependencies | Good for building or setting up git hooks (e.g. `husky`). |
| `prepublishOnly` | Only before `npm publish` | Put `npm test && npm run build` here. |
| `prepack`, `postpack` | Around `npm pack` / publish | |
| `preX` / `postX` | Automatically before/after any script `X` | Can surprise readers; prefer explicit chaining. pnpm does not run them by default. |

## Portability
- Windows `cmd.exe` does not understand `VAR=value cmd`, `export`, `rm -rf`, `cp -r`, `&` backgrounding, single quotes, or `$VAR`. Use `cross-env`, `rimraf`, `cpy-cli`, `concurrently`, and Node scripts.
- `&&` works in both shells; `;` does not run the same way in `cmd.exe`.
- Prefer local binaries (from `devDependencies`) over globally installed ones; npm adds `node_modules/.bin` to PATH inside scripts.

## Clarity
- One job per script; move long logic (> ~120 characters) into `scripts/*.js` or `*.mjs` files.
- Avoid names that shadow npm commands or each other (`install`, `publish`, `test2`).
- Replace the default `echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1` with a real test command or remove it.
- Document unusual scripts in the README.
- Set `"private": true` for apps that must never be published.

# package.json Scripts Audit

**Package:** `<name>@<version>`  |  **Owner:** own project / third-party  |  **Private:** yes/no
**Verdict:** Safe / Needs changes / Do not install until reviewed
**Counts:** high `<n>`, medium `<n>`, low `<n>`, info `<n>`

## Script inventory
| Script | What it does (plain words) | Runs automatically? |
|---|---|---|
| `build` | | no |
| `postinstall` | | yes, on every install |

## Findings
| # | Severity | Script | Pattern | Why it matters | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | high | | | | |

## Suggested scripts block
```json
{
  "scripts": {
  }
}
```

## Also check
- Files referenced by scripts: `<list>`
- CI files that call renamed scripts: `<list>`
- devDependencies to add: `<rimraf, cross-env, ...>`

## 🚀 URL Shortening Service — Full-Stack Application

### 📋 Project Overview
Build a production-ready, full-stack URL shortening service with a modern, accessible frontend and a robust RESTful backend API. The application must handle the complete lifecycle of shortened links: creation, redirection, tracking, management, and expiration. Prioritize performance, security, and an exceptional user experience across all devices.

---

### 🛠️ Tech Stack

**Frontend:**
- Semantic HTML5 with ARIA attributes for accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance)
- CSS3 with CSS Custom Properties (variables), Flexbox, and CSS Grid
- Vanilla JavaScript (ES2022+) using modular architecture (ES Modules)
- No heavy frameworks — keep the bundle lightweight and fast

**Backend API:**
- RESTful API design following OpenAPI 3.0 specification
- JSON request/response format with proper HTTP status codes
- CORS configuration for cross-origin requests
- Rate limiting per IP and per API key

**Libraries (CDN or bundled):**
- QR Code generation (e.g., `qrcode.js` or `qr-creator`)
- Charting library for analytics (e.g., Chart.js or lightweight alternative)
- Date picker for expiration (e.g., `flatpickr`)
- Toast notification system (custom-built, no dependency)

---

### 🎨 Frontend — UI/UX Requirements

**Layout & Design:**
- Clean, minimalist design with a hero section featuring a **large, prominent URL input field** centered on the page
- Implement a **dark/light mode toggle** with system preference detection (`prefers-color-scheme`) and `localStorage` persistence
- Use a consistent design system: typography scale, spacing tokens, color palette
- Smooth micro-animations and transitions (fade-ins, slide-ups, button ripples) for all interactive elements
- Skeleton loading states for async content (analytics, history table)

**Responsive Design:**
- Mobile-first approach with breakpoints at 480px, 768px, 1024px, and 1440px
- Touch-friendly tap targets (minimum 44×44px)
- Collapsible navigation menu on mobile (hamburger menu with animation)
- Fluid typography using `clamp()`

**Accessibility:**
- Full keyboard navigation support (tab order, focus trapping in modals)
- Screen reader announcements for dynamic content (`aria-live` regions)
- Visible focus indicators on all interactive elements
- Sufficient color contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for text)
- Reduced motion support (`prefers-reduced-motion`)

---

### ⚙️ Core Features

#### 1. URL Shortening Engine
- Prominent input field with placeholder text and real-time validation feedback
- **URL validation**: Check for valid protocol (`http://`, `https://`), proper domain structure, and reject malformed URLs using both regex and the `URL` constructor API
- **URL sanitization**: Strip tracking parameters (UTM, fbclid, gclid), remove redundant slashes, normalize protocol and case
- Auto-prepend `https://` if no protocol is provided
- Display the shortened URL immediately after creation with a success animation
- **Bulk URL shortening**: Allow users to paste multiple URLs (one per line) and shorten them all at once

#### 2. Custom Alias Support
- Optional custom alias field (e.g., `short.ly/my-brand`)
- Real-time availability check as the user types (debounced API call, 300ms)
- Alias validation rules: alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores only; 3–30 characters; reserved word blacklist (e.g., `admin`, `api`, `login`, `static`)
- Clear error messaging if the alias is taken or invalid

#### 3. QR Code Generation
- Auto-generate a QR code for every shortened URL upon creation
- QR code modal/panel with options to:
  - Download as PNG (high resolution, 1024×1024)
  - Download as SVG (vector, scalable)
  - Customize foreground/background colors
  - Add a small logo overlay in the center (optional)
- Ensure QR codes encode the full shortened URL and are scannable at small sizes

#### 4. Click Tracking & Analytics Dashboard
- Track every redirect with the following data points:
  - Timestamp (UTC)
  - Country and city (via IP geolocation API)
  - Device type (mobile, tablet, desktop)
  - Operating system and browser (via User-Agent parsing)
  - Referrer URL
  - Unique vs. returning visitor (via cookie/fingerprint)
- **Analytics Dashboard** per link including:
  - Total clicks and unique clicks counters
  - Clicks over time line chart (filterable: last 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d, all time)
  - Geographic distribution map or bar chart (top 10 countries)
  - Device/OS/Browser breakdown (donut or pie charts)
  - Top referrers table
  - Click heatmap by day of week and hour of day
- Aggregate analytics overview on the main dashboard (total links, total clicks, most popular link)

#### 5. Link Expiration
- Optional expiration date/time picker when creating a link
- Support presets: 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, custom date
- Display a countdown or "expires in X" badge on active links
- Automatically deactivate expired links and show a friendly "This link has expired" page on redirect attempts
- Allow users to extend or remove expiration on existing links

#### 6. Password Protection
- Optional password toggle when creating a link
- If enabled, show a password input gate page before redirecting to the target URL
- Hash passwords server-side using bcrypt or Argon2 (never store plaintext)
- Rate-limit password attempts (max 5 per minute per IP) with lockout messaging
- Visual indicator (lock icon 🔒) on password-protected links in the history view

#### 7. Copy-to-Clipboard
- One-click copy button next to every shortened URL
- Use the Clipboard API (`navigator.clipboard.writeText()`) with fallback to `document.execCommand('copy')`
- Visual confirmation: button icon changes to a checkmark ✅ with a "Copied!" tooltip/toast that auto-dismisses after 2 seconds
- Keyboard shortcut support (e.g., `Ctrl+Shift+C` to copy the most recently created link)

#### 8. URL History & Management
- Persistent history table/grid of all shortened URLs (stored in `localStorage` for guests, database for authenticated users)
- Each entry displays: original URL (truncated with tooltip), short URL, creation date, click count, status (active/expired/password-protected), and action buttons
- **Search**: Full-text search across original URLs, aliases, and tags
- **Filtering**: By status (active, expired, protected), date range, click count range, and tags
- **Sorting**: By creation date, click count, alphabetically (ascending/descending)
- **Pagination or infinite scroll** for large histories (25 items per page)
- **Bulk actions**: Select multiple links to delete, disable, or export as CSV/JSON
- **Tags/Labels**: Allow users to add custom tags to organize links (e.g., "marketing", "social", "campaign-q4")

---

### 🔒 Security Requirements
- Input sanitization on both client and server to prevent XSS attacks
- CSRF protection on all state-changing API endpoints
- Validate and sanitize redirect targets to prevent open redirect vulnerabilities (whitelist allowed protocols, block `javascript:`, `data:`, `file:` schemes)
- Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
- Rate limiting: max 20 link creations per minute per IP; max 100 API requests per minute
- Secure HTTP headers: `X-Content-Type-Options`, `X-Frame-Options`, `Strict-Transport-Security`
- Never expose internal IDs; use nanoid or UUID for public link identifiers

---

### ⚡ Performance Requirements
- Target Lighthouse scores: Performance >90, Accessibility >95, Best Practices >95, SEO >90
- Lazy-load analytics charts and non-critical assets
- Debounce all search and validation inputs
- Use `IntersectionObserver` for scroll-based animations and lazy loading
- Minimize reflows and repaints; use CSS `transform` and `opacity` for animations
- Cache API responses where appropriate (e.g., analytics data with 60s TTL)
- Redirects should resolve in under 100ms server-side

---

### 🧪 Error Handling & Edge Cases
- Graceful error messages for: network failures, API timeouts, invalid URLs, duplicate aliases, server errors (500), rate limit exceeded (429)
- Offline detection: show a banner when the user loses connectivity and queue actions for retry
- Handle extremely long URLs (up to 2048 characters) without breaking the layout
- Handle Unicode/internationalized domain names (IDN) correctly
- Empty state illustrations for when the user has no links or no analytics data

---

### 📁 Deliverables
1. Complete, well-commented source code with a clear folder structure
2. `README.md` with setup instructions, API documentation, and feature list
3. API endpoint reference table (method, path, parameters, response format)
4. A `demo` mode with sample data pre-loaded for immediate preview
5. Responsive across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge (latest 2 versions)

---

> **Note:** Build this incrementally — start with the core shortening flow (input → validate → shorten → display → copy), then layer on QR codes, analytics, custom aliases, expiration, password protection, and the full history dashboard. Ensure each feature is fully functional and tested before moving to the next.

# Astro v6 Architecture Rules (Strict Mode)

## 1. Core Philosophy

- Follow Astro’s “HTML-first / zero JavaScript by default” principle:
  - Everything is static HTML unless interactivity is explicitly required.
  - JavaScript is a cost → only add when it creates real user value.

- Always think in “Islands Architecture”:
  - The page is static HTML
  - Interactive parts are isolated islands
  - Never treat the whole page as an app

- Before writing any JavaScript, always ask:
  "Can this be solved with HTML + CSS or server-side logic?"

---

## 2. Component Model

- Use `.astro` components for:
  - Layout
  - Composition
  - Static UI
  - Data fetching
  - Server-side logic (frontmatter)

- `.astro` components:
  - Run at build-time or server-side
  - Do NOT ship JavaScript by default
  - Must remain framework-agnostic

- NEVER use React/Vue/Svelte hooks inside `.astro`

---

## 3. Islands (Interactive Components)

- Only use framework components (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.) for interactivity.

- Treat every interactive component as an isolated island:
  - Independent
  - Self-contained
  - Minimal scope

- NEVER:
  - Hydrate entire pages or layouts
  - Wrap large trees in a single island
  - Create many small islands in loops unnecessarily

- Prefer:
  - Static list rendering
  - Hydrate only the minimal interactive unit

---

## 4. Hydration Strategy (Critical)

- Always explicitly define hydration using `client:*` directives.

- Choose the LOWEST possible priority:

  - `client:load`
    → Only for critical, above-the-fold interactivity

  - `client:idle`
    → For secondary UI after page load

  - `client:visible`
    → For below-the-fold or heavy components

  - `client:media`
    → For responsive / conditional UI

  - `client:only`
    → ONLY when SSR breaks (window, localStorage, etc.)

- Default rule:
  ❌ Never default to `client:load`
  ✅ Prefer `client:visible` or `client:idle`

- Hydration is a performance budget:
  - Every island adds JS
  - Keep total JS minimal

📌 Astro does NOT hydrate components unless explicitly told via `client:*` :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}  

---

## 5. Server vs Client Logic

- Prefer server-side logic (inside `.astro` frontmatter) for:
  - Data fetching
  - Transformations
  - Filtering / sorting
  - Derived values

- Only use client-side state when:
  - User interaction requires it
  - Real-time updates are needed

- Avoid:
  - Duplicating logic on client
  - Moving server logic into islands

---

## 6. State Management

- Avoid client state unless strictly necessary.

- If needed:
  - Scope state inside the island only
  - Do NOT create global app state unless required

- For cross-island state:
  - Use lightweight shared stores (e.g., nano stores)
  - Avoid heavy global state systems by default

---

## 7. Performance Constraints (Hard Rules)

- Minimize JavaScript shipped to client:
  - Astro only loads JS for hydrated components :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}  

- Prefer:
  - Static rendering
  - Partial hydration
  - Lazy hydration

- Avoid:
  - Hydrating large lists
  - Repeated islands in loops
  - Overusing `client:load`

- Each island:
  - Has its own bundle
  - Loads independently
  - Should remain small and focused :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}  

---

## 8. File & Project Structure

- `/pages`
  - Entry points (SSG/SSR)
  - No client logic

- `/components`
  - Shared UI
  - Islands live here

- `/layouts`
  - Static wrappers only

- `/content`
  - Markdown / CMS data

- Keep `.astro` files focused on composition, not behavior

---

## 9. Anti-Patterns (Strictly Forbidden)

- ❌ Using hooks in `.astro`
- ❌ Turning Astro into SPA architecture
- ❌ Hydrating entire layout/page
- ❌ Using `client:load` everywhere
- ❌ Mapping lists into hydrated components
- ❌ Using client JS for static problems
- ❌ Replacing server logic with client logic

---

## 10. Preferred Patterns

- ✅ Static-first rendering
- ✅ Minimal, isolated islands
- ✅ Lazy hydration (`visible`, `idle`)
- ✅ Server-side computation
- ✅ HTML + CSS before JS
- ✅ Progressive enhancement

---

## 11. Decision Framework (VERY IMPORTANT)

For every feature:

1. Can this be static HTML?
   → YES → Use `.astro`

2. Does it require interaction?
   → NO → Stay static

3. Does it require JS?
   → YES → Create an island

4. When should it load?
   → Choose LOWEST priority `client:*`

---

## 12. Mental Model (Non-Negotiable)

- Astro is NOT:
  - Next.js
  - SPA framework
  - React-first system

- Astro IS:
  - Static-first renderer
  - Partial hydration system
  - Performance-first architecture

- Think:
  ❌ “Build an app”
  ✅ “Ship HTML + sprinkle JS”

You are a senior polyglot software engineer with deep expertise in multiple 
programming languages, their idioms, design patterns, standard libraries, 
and cross-language translation best practices.

I will provide you with a code snippet to translate. Perform the translation
using the following structured flow:

---

📋 STEP 1 — Translation Brief
Before analyzing or translating, confirm the translation scope:

- 📌 Source Language  : [Language + Version e.g., Python 3.11]
- 🎯 Target Language  : [Language + Version e.g., JavaScript ES2023]
- 📦 Source Libraries : List all imported libraries/frameworks detected
- 🔄 Target Equivalents: Immediate library/framework mappings identified
- 🧩 Code Type        : e.g., script / class / module / API / utility
- 🎯 Translation Goal : Direct port / Idiomatic rewrite / Framework-specific
- ⚠️  Version Warnings : Any target version limitations to be aware of upfront

---

🔍 STEP 2 — Source Code Analysis
Deeply analyze the source code before translating:

- 🎯 Code Purpose      : What the code does overall
- ⚙️  Key Components   : Functions, classes, modules identified
- 🌿 Logic Flow        : Core logic paths and control flow
- 📥 Inputs/Outputs    : Data types, structures, return values
- 🔌 External Deps     : Libraries, APIs, DB, file I/O detected
- 🧩 Paradigms Used    : OOP, functional, async, decorators, etc.
- 💡 Source Idioms     : Language-specific patterns that need special 
                         attention during translation

---

⚠️ STEP 3 — Translation Challenges Map
Before translating, identify and map every challenge:

LIBRARY & FRAMEWORK EQUIVALENTS:
| # | Source Library/Function | Target Equivalent | Notes |
|---|------------------------|-------------------|-------|

PARADIGM SHIFTS:
| # | Source Pattern | Target Pattern | Complexity | Notes |
|---|---------------|----------------|------------|-------|

Complexity: 
- 🟢 [Simple]  — Direct equivalent exists
- 🟡 [Moderate]— Requires restructuring
- 🔴 [Complex] — Significant rewrite needed

UNTRANSLATABLE FLAGS:
| # | Source Feature | Issue | Best Alternative in Target |
|---|---------------|-------|---------------------------|

Flag anything that:
- Has no direct equivalent in target language
- Behaves differently at runtime (e.g., null handling, 
  type coercion, memory management)
- Requires target-language-specific workarounds
- May impact performance differently in target language

---

🔄 STEP 4 — Side-by-Side Translation
For every key logic block identified in Step 2, show:

[BLOCK NAME — e.g., Data Processing Function]

SOURCE ([Language]):
```[source language]
[original code block]
```

TRANSLATED ([Language]):
```[target language]
[translated code block]
```

🔍 Translation Notes:
- What changed and why
- Any idiom or pattern substitution made
- Any behavior difference to be aware of

Cover all major logic blocks. Skip only trivial 
single-line translations.

---

🔧 STEP 5 — Full Translated Code
Provide the complete, fully translated production-ready code:

Code Quality Requirements:
- Written in the TARGET language's idioms and best practices
  · NOT a line-by-line literal translation
  · Use native patterns (e.g., JS array methods, not manual loops)
- Follow target language style guide strictly:
  · Python → PEP8
  · JavaScript/TypeScript → ESLint Airbnb style
  · Java → Google Java Style Guide
  · Other → mention which style guide applied
- Full error handling using target language conventions
- Type hints/annotations where supported by target language
- Complete docstrings/JSDoc/comments in target language style
- All external dependencies replaced with proper target equivalents
- No placeholders or omissions — fully complete code only

**Color contrast failure**
```
Minimum ratios (WCAG AA):
- Normal text (<18px or <14px bold): 4.5:1
- Large text (>=18px or >=14px bold): 3:1
- UI components and graphics: 3:1

Tools: WebAIM Contrast Checker, browser DevTools
```

**Focus visibility**
```css
/* Never do this without alternative */
:focus { outline: none; }

/* Proper custom focus */
:focus-visible {
  outline: 2px solid #005fcc;
  outline-offset: 2px;
}
```

## ARIA Decision Framework

```
Need to convey information to assistive technology?
|
+-- Can semantic HTML do it?
|   +-- YES: Use HTML (<button>, <nav>, <main>, <article>)
|   +-- NO: Continue to ARIA
|
+-- What type of ARIA needed?
    +-- Role: What IS this element? (role="dialog", role="tab")
    +-- State: What condition? (aria-expanded, aria-checked)
    +-- Property: What relationship? (aria-labelledby, aria-describedby)
    +-- Live region: Dynamic content? (aria-live="polite")
```

### ARIA Patterns for Common Widgets

**Disclosure (show/hide)**
```html
<button aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="content-1">
  Show details
</button>
<div id="content-1" hidden>
  Content here
</div>
```

**Tab interface**
```html
<div role="tablist" aria-label="Settings">
  <button role="tab" aria-selected="true" aria-controls="panel-1" id="tab-1">
    General
  </button>
  <button role="tab" aria-selected="false" aria-controls="panel-2" id="tab-2" tabindex="-1">
    Privacy
  </button>
</div>
<div role="tabpanel" id="panel-1" aria-labelledby="tab-1">...</div>
<div role="tabpanel" id="panel-2" aria-labelledby="tab-2" hidden>...</div>
```

**Modal dialog**
```html
<div role="dialog" aria-modal="true" aria-labelledby="dialog-title">
  <h2 id="dialog-title">Confirm action</h2>
  <p>Are you sure you want to proceed?</p>
  <button>Cancel</button>
  <button>Confirm</button>
</div>
```

## Keyboard Navigation Checklist

```
[ ] All interactive elements focusable with Tab
[ ] Focus order matches visual/logical order
[ ] Focus visible on all elements
[ ] No keyboard traps (can always Tab out)
[ ] Skip link as first focusable element
[ ] Escape closes modals/dropdowns
[ ] Arrow keys navigate within widgets (tabs, menus, grids)
[ ] Enter/Space activates buttons and links
[ ] Custom shortcuts documented and configurable
```

### Focus Management Patterns

**Modal focus trap**
```javascript
// On modal open:
// 1. Save previously focused element
// 2. Move focus to first focusable in modal
// 3. Trap Tab within modal boundaries

// On modal close:
// 1. Return focus to saved element
```

**Dynamic content**
```javascript
// After adding content:
// - Announce via aria-live region, OR
// - Move focus to new content heading

// After removing content:
// - Move focus to logical next element
// - Never leave focus on removed element
```

## Screen Reader Testing

### Announcement Verification

| Element | Should Announce |
|---------|-----------------|
| Button | Role + name + state ("Submit button") |
| Link | Name + "link" ("Home page link") |
| Image | Alt text OR "decorative" (skip) |
| Heading | Level + text ("Heading level 2, About us") |
| Form field | Label + type + state + instructions |
| Error | Error message + field association |

### Testing Commands (Quick Reference)

**VoiceOver (macOS)**
- VO = Ctrl + Option
- VO + A: Read all
- VO + Right/Left: Navigate elements
- VO + Cmd + H: Next heading
- VO + Cmd + J: Next form control

**NVDA (Windows)**
- NVDA + Down: Read all
- Tab: Next focusable
- H: Next heading
- F: Next form field
- B: Next button

## Automated Testing Integration

### axe-core in tests
```javascript
// jest-axe
import { axe, toHaveNoViolations } from 'jest-axe';
expect.extend(toHaveNoViolations);

test('component is accessible', async () => {
  const { container } = render(<MyComponent />);
  const results = await axe(container);
  expect(results).toHaveNoViolations();
});
```

### Lighthouse CI threshold
```javascript
// lighthouserc.js
module.exports = {
  assertions: {
    'categories:accessibility': ['error', { minScore: 90 / 100 }],
  },
};
```

## Remediation Priority Matrix

```
Impact vs Effort:
                    Low Effort    High Effort
High Impact     |   DO FIRST   |   PLAN NEXT   |
                |   alt text   |   redesign    |
                |   labels     |   nav rebuild |
----------------|--------------|---------------|
Low Impact      |   QUICK WIN  |   BACKLOG     |
                |   contrast   |   nice-to-have|
                |   tweaks     |   enhancements|
```

## Verification Checklist

name: ast-code-analysis-superpower
description: AST-based code pattern analysis using ast-grep for security, performance, and structural issues. Use when (1) reviewing code for security vulnerabilities, (2) analyzing React hook dependencies or performance patterns, (3) detecting structural anti-patterns across large codebases, (4) needing systematic pattern matching beyond manual inspection.
---

# AST-Grep Code Analysis

AST pattern matching identifies code issues through structural recognition rather than line-by-line reading. Code structure reveals hidden relationships, vulnerabilities, and anti-patterns that surface inspection misses.

## Configuration

- **Target Language**: javascript
- **Analysis Focus**: security
- **Severity Level**: ERROR
- **Framework**: React
- **Max Nesting Depth**: 3

## Prerequisites

```bash
# Install ast-grep (if not available)
npm install -g @ast-grep/cli
# Or: mise install -g ast-grep
```

## Decision Tree: When to Use AST Analysis

```
Code review needed?
|
+-- Simple code (<50 lines, obvious structure) --> Manual review
|
+-- Complex code (nested, multi-file, abstraction layers)
    |
    +-- Security review required? --> Use security patterns
    +-- Performance analysis? --> Use performance patterns
    +-- Structural quality? --> Use structure patterns
    +-- Cross-file patterns? --> Run with --include glob
```

## Pattern Categories

| Category | Focus | Common Findings |
|----------|-------|-----------------|
| Security | Crypto functions, auth flows | Hardcoded secrets, weak tokens |
| Performance | Hooks, loops, async | Infinite re-renders, memory leaks |
| Structure | Nesting, complexity | Deep conditionals, maintainability |

## Essential Patterns

### Security: Hardcoded Secrets

```yaml
# sg-rules/security/hardcoded-secrets.yml
id: hardcoded-secrets
language: javascript
rule:
  pattern: |
    const $VAR = '$LITERAL';
    $FUNC($VAR, ...)
  meta:
    severity: ERROR
    message: "Potential hardcoded secret detected"
```

### Security: Insecure Token Generation

```yaml
# sg-rules/security/insecure-tokens.yml
id: insecure-token-generation
language: javascript
rule:
  pattern: |
    btoa(JSON.stringify($OBJ) + '.' + $SECRET)
  meta:
    severity: ERROR
    message: "Insecure token generation using base64"
```

### Performance: React Hook Dependencies

```yaml
# sg-rules/performance/react-hook-deps.yml
id: react-hook-dependency-array
language: typescript
rule:
  pattern: |
    useEffect(() => {
      $BODY
    }, [$FUNC])
  meta:
    severity: WARNING
    message: "Function dependency may cause infinite re-renders"
```

### Structure: Deep Nesting

```yaml
# sg-rules/structure/deep-nesting.yml
id: deep-nesting
language: javascript
rule:
  any:
    - pattern: |
        if ($COND1) {
          if ($COND2) {
            if ($COND3) {
              $BODY
            }
          }
        }
    - pattern: |
        for ($INIT) {
          for ($INIT2) {
            for ($INIT3) {
              $BODY
            }
          }
        }
  meta:
    severity: WARNING
    message: "Deep nesting (>3 levels) - consider refactoring"
```

## Running Analysis

```bash
# Security scan
ast-grep run -r sg-rules/security/

# Performance scan on React files
ast-grep run -r sg-rules/performance/ --include="*.tsx,*.jsx"

# Full scan with JSON output
ast-grep run -r sg-rules/ --format=json > analysis-report.json

# Interactive mode for investigation
ast-grep run -r sg-rules/ --interactive
```

## Pattern Writing Checklist

- [ ] Pattern matches specific anti-pattern, not general code
- [ ] Uses `inside` or `has` for context constraints
- [ ] Includes `not` constraints to reduce false positives
- [ ] Separate rules per language (JS vs TS)
- [ ] Appropriate severity (ERROR/WARNING/INFO)

## Common Mistakes

| Mistake | Symptom | Fix |
|---------|---------|-----|
| Too generic patterns | Many false positives | Add context constraints |
| Missing `inside` | Matches wrong locations | Scope with parent context |
| No `not` clauses | Matches valid patterns | Exclude known-good cases |
| JS patterns on TS | Type annotations break match | Create language-specific rules |

## Verification Steps

1. **Test pattern accuracy**: Run on known-vulnerable code samples
2. **Check false positive rate**: Review first 10 matches manually
3. **Validate severity**: Confirm ERROR-level findings are actionable
4. **Cross-file coverage**: Verify pattern runs across intended scope

## Example Output

```
$ ast-grep run -r sg-rules/
src/components/UserProfile.jsx:15: ERROR [insecure-tokens] Insecure token generation
src/hooks/useAuth.js:8: ERROR [hardcoded-secrets] Potential hardcoded secret
src/components/Dashboard.tsx:23: WARNING [react-hook-deps] Function dependency
src/utils/processData.js:45: WARNING [deep-nesting] Deep nesting detected

Found 4 issues (2 errors, 2 warnings)
```

## Project Setup

```bash
# Initialize ast-grep in project
ast-grep init

# Create rule directories
mkdir -p sg-rules/{security,performance,structure}

# Add to CI pipeline
# .github/workflows/lint.yml
# - run: ast-grep run -r sg-rules/ --format=json
```

## Custom Pattern Templates

### React Specific Patterns

```yaml
# Missing key in list rendering
id: missing-list-key
language: typescript
rule:
  pattern: |
    $ARRAY.map(($ITEM) => <$COMPONENT $$$PROPS />)
  constraints:
    $PROPS:
      not:
        has:
          pattern: 'key={$_}'
  meta:
    severity: WARNING
    message: "Missing key prop in list rendering"
```

### Async/Await Patterns

```yaml
# Missing error handling in async
id: unhandled-async
language: javascript
rule:
  pattern: |
    async function $NAME($$$) {
      $$$BODY
    }
  constraints:
    $BODY:
      not:
        has:
          pattern: 'try { $$$ } catch'
  meta:
    severity: WARNING
    message: "Async function without try-catch error handling"
```

## Integration with CI/CD

```yaml
# GitHub Actions example
name: AST Analysis
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
  analyze:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
