Summary of Changes
Hello @capachino, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request establishes the foundational implementation for a new security scanning extension. It introduces detailed documentation for performing security audits on pull requests, defines a command for initiating these scans, and provides the necessary configuration for the extension. The changes aim to integrate a structured security review process directly into the development workflow.
Highlights
- New Security Scan Documentation: Introduced
GEMINI.md, a comprehensive guide detailing the process for conducting security audits on pull requests. This document outlines phases for change analysis, static application security testing (SAST) covering various vulnerability types (e.g., hardcoded secrets, access control, injection), and reporting guidelines. - Security Analysis Command Definition: Added
commands/security/analyze.toml, which defines a new command for initiating a security review. This command includes a specific prompt to guide a targeted security audit focused on changes introduced in the current pull request. - Gemini Extension Configuration: Created
gemini-extension.json, a configuration file for a new 'gemini-cli-security' extension. This file specifies the extension's name, version, and links toGEMINI.mdas its primary context file.

Code Review
This pull request introduces the initial implementation of a Gemini CLI extension for security scanning. It adds a manifest file (gemini-extension.json), a command definition (commands/security/analyze.toml), and a markdown file with instructions (GEMINI.md). The changes are generally good, but I have a few suggestions for the GEMINI.md file to improve clarity and correctness, particularly around the git command used to generate the diff for analysis. I also noticed that this PR adds configuration files to the root directory, while similar files (gemini-extension.json, GEMINI.md) already exist in the src/ directory. This duplication could lead to confusion and maintainability issues. It would be good to clarify the project structure and remove any redundant files.

There is a typo in 'insufficent'. It should be 'insufficient'. In a security context, precision in language is important to avoid any ambiguity.
