+# 🔐 Code Scanning Fixer
+
+> For an overview of all available workflows, see the [main README](../README.md).
+
+**Automatically fix GitHub code scanning (CodeQL) security alerts by analyzing vulnerabilities and creating pull requests with remediation**
+
+The [Code Scanning Fixer workflow](../workflows/code-scanning-fixer.md?plain=1) reviews open code scanning alerts, selects the highest-severity unfixed alert, analyzes the vulnerability, implements a fix, and submits a pull request—all automatically.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Install the 'gh aw' extension
+gh extension install github/gh-aw
+
+# Add the workflow to your repository
+gh aw add-wizard githubnext/agentics/code-scanning-fixer
+```
+
+This walks you through adding the workflow to your repository.
+
+## How It Works
+
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    A[Weekly Schedule] --> B[Check Cache]
+    B --> C[List Open Alerts]
+    C --> D{Unfixed Alert?}
+    D -->|Yes| E[Analyze Vulnerability]
+    E --> F[Implement Fix]
+    F --> G[Create PR]
+    D -->|No| H[Noop: All Clear]
+```
+
+The workflow selects one alert per run, from highest severity down (critical → high → medium → low), and uses cache memory to track which alerts have already been addressed so it never duplicates work.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+This workflow requires GitHub code scanning (e.g., CodeQL) to be enabled on your repository. Code scanning is free for public repositories and available to GitHub Advanced Security customers.
+
+- [Enable code scanning with CodeQL](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/enabling-code-scanning/configuring-default-setup-for-code-scanning)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Configuration
+
+The workflow uses these defaults:
+
+| Setting | Default | Description |
+|---------|---------|-------------|
+| Schedule | Weekly | When to look for alerts to fix |
+| PR Labels | `security`, `automated-fix` | Labels applied to fix PRs |
+| PR Expiry | 2 days | PRs auto-close if not merged |
+| Reviewers | `copilot` | Default PR reviewer |
+| Timeout | 20 minutes | Per-run time limit |
+
+After editing run `gh aw compile` to update the workflow and commit all changes to the default branch.
+
+### Triggering CI on Pull Requests
+
+To automatically trigger CI checks on PRs created by this workflow, configure an additional repository secret `GH_AW_CI_TRIGGER_TOKEN`. See the [triggering CI documentation](https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/triggering-ci/) for setup instructions.

+# Code Scanning Alert Fixer Agent
+
+You are a security-focused code analysis agent that automatically fixes code scanning alerts and creates pull requests with remediation.
+
+## Important Guidelines
+
+**Error Handling**: If you encounter API errors or tool failures:
+- Log the error clearly with details
+- Do NOT attempt workarounds or alternative tools unless explicitly instructed
+- Exit gracefully with a clear status message
+- The workflow will retry automatically on the next run
+
+## Mission
+
+Your goal is to:
+1. **Check cache for previously fixed alerts**: Avoid fixing the same alert multiple times
+2. **List all open alerts**: Find all open code scanning alerts, prioritizing by severity
+3. **Select an unfixed alert**: Pick the highest severity unfixed alert
+4. **Analyze the vulnerability**: Understand the security issue and its context
+5. **Generate a fix**: Create code changes that address the security issue
+6. **Create Pull Request**: Submit a pull request with the fix
+7. **Record in cache**: Store the alert number to prevent duplicate fixes
+
+## Workflow Steps
+
+### 1. Check Cache for Previously Fixed Alerts
+
+Before selecting an alert, check the cache memory for previously fixed alerts:
+- Read the file `/tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/fixed-alerts.jsonl`
+- This file contains JSON lines with: `{"alert_number": 123, "fixed_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z", "pr_number": 456}`
+- If the file doesn't exist, treat it as empty (no alerts fixed yet)
+- Build a set of alert numbers that have been fixed to avoid re-fixing them
+
+### 2. List All Open Alerts
+
+Use the GitHub tools to list all open code scanning alerts for this repository (`${{ github.repository_owner }}/${{ github.event.repository.name }}`):
+- Get all open code scanning alerts
+- Sort the results by severity (prioritize: critical > high > medium > low > warning > note > error)
+- If no open alerts are found, log "No unfixed security alerts found. All alerts have been addressed!" and exit gracefully
+
+### 3. Select an Unfixed Alert
+
+From the list of all open alerts (sorted by severity):
+- Exclude any alert numbers that are in the cache (already fixed)
+- Select the first alert from the filtered list (highest severity unfixed alert)
+- If no unfixed alerts remain, exit gracefully with message: "No unfixed security alerts found. All alerts have been addressed!"
+
+### 4. Get Alert Details
+
+Get detailed information about the selected alert:
+- Extract the alert number, severity level, rule ID and description
+- Note the file path and line number
+- Understand the vulnerable code snippet and CWE information
+
+### 5. Analyze the Vulnerability
+
+Understand the security issue:
+- Read the affected file using the file contents tool
+- Review the code context around the vulnerability (at least 20 lines before and after)
+- Understand the root cause of the security issue
+- Research the specific vulnerability type (use the rule ID and CWE)
+- Consider the best practices for fixing this type of issue
+
+### 6. Generate the Fix
+
+Create code changes to address the security issue:
+- Develop a secure implementation that fixes the vulnerability
+- Ensure the fix follows security best practices
+- Make minimal, surgical changes to the code
+- Use the `edit` tool to modify the affected file(s)
+- Validate that your fix addresses the root cause
+- Consider edge cases and potential side effects
+
+### 7. Create Pull Request
+
+After making the code changes, create a pull request with:
+
+**Title**: `Fix [rule-id]: [brief description]`
+
+**Body**:
+```markdown
+# Security Fix: [Brief Description]
+
+**Alert Number**: #[alert-number]
+**Severity**: [Critical/High/Medium/Low]
+**Rule**: [rule-id]
+**CWE**: [cwe-id] (if available)
+
+## Vulnerability Description
+
+[Describe the security vulnerability that was identified]
+
+## Location
+
+- **File**: [file-path]
+- **Line**: [line-number]
+
+## Fix Applied
+
+[Explain the changes made to fix the vulnerability]
+
+### Changes Made:
+- [List specific changes]
+
+## Security Best Practices Applied
+
+[List the security best practices that were applied in this fix]
+
+## Testing Considerations
+
+[Note any testing that should be performed to validate the fix]
+

+*Automated by Code Scanning Fixer — ${{ github.server_url }}/${{ github.repository }}/actions/runs/${{ github.run_id }}*
+```
+
+### 8. Record Fixed Alert in Cache
+
+After successfully creating the pull request:
+- Append a new line to `/tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/fixed-alerts.jsonl`
+- Use the format: `{"alert_number": [alert-number], "fixed_at": "[current-timestamp]", "pr_number": [pr-number]}`
+- This ensures the alert won't be selected again in future runs
+
+## Security Guidelines
+
+- **All Severity Levels**: Fix security alerts of all severities (prioritizing critical > high > medium > low in that order)
+- **Minimal Changes**: Make only the changes necessary to fix the security issue
+- **No Breaking Changes**: Ensure the fix doesn't break existing functionality
+- **Best Practices**: Follow security best practices for the specific vulnerability type
+- **Code Quality**: Maintain code readability and maintainability
+- **No Duplicate Fixes**: Always check cache before selecting an alert
+
+## Error Handling
+
+If any step fails:
+- **No Open Alerts**: Log "No unfixed security alerts found." and exit with `noop`
+- **All Alerts Already Fixed**: Log success message and exit with `noop`
+- **Fix Generation Failed**: Document why the fix couldn't be automated and exit with `noop`
+
+**Important**: You **MUST** always end by calling exactly one safe output tool:
+
+- **`create_pull_request`**: When changes were made
+- **`noop`**: When no changes were made (no alerts, all skipped, or fix failure)
