prowler-ci

name	prowler-ci
description	Helps with Prowler repository CI and PR gates (GitHub Actions workflows). Trigger: When investigating CI checks failing on a PR, PR title validation, changelog gate/no-changelog label, conflict marker checks, secret scanning, CODEOWNERS/labeler automation, or anything under .github/workflows.

What this skill covers

Use this skill whenever you are:

Reading or changing GitHub Actions workflows under .github/workflows/
Explaining why a PR fails checks (title, changelog, conflict markers, secret scanning)
Figuring out which workflows run for UI/API/SDK changes and why
Diagnosing path-filtering behavior (why a workflow did/didn't run)

Quick map (where to look)

PR template: .github/pull_request_template.md
PR title validation: .github/workflows/conventional-commit.yml
Changelog gate: .github/workflows/pr-check-changelog.yml
Conflict markers check: .github/workflows/pr-conflict-checker.yml
Secret scanning: .github/workflows/find-secrets.yml
Auto labels: .github/workflows/labeler.yml and .github/labeler.yml
Review ownership: .github/CODEOWNERS

Debug checklist (PR failing checks)

Identify which workflow/job is failing (name + file under .github/workflows/).
Check path filters: is the workflow supposed to run for your changed files?
If it's a title check: verify PR title matches Conventional Commits.
If it's changelog: verify the right CHANGELOG.md is updated OR apply no-changelog label.
If it's conflict checker: remove <<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>> markers.
If it's secrets (TruffleHog): see section below.

TruffleHog Secret Scanning

TruffleHog scans for leaked secrets. Common false positives in test files:

Patterns that trigger TruffleHog: - sk-*T3BlbkFJ* - OpenAI API keys - AKIA[A-Z0-9]{16} - AWS Access Keys - ghp_* / gho_* - GitHub tokens - Base64-encoded strings that look like credentials

Fix for test files:

# BAD - looks like real OpenAI key
api_key = "sk-test1234567890T3BlbkFJtest1234567890"

# GOOD - obviously fake
api_key = "sk-fake-test-key-for-unit-testing-only"

If TruffleHog flags a real secret: 1. Remove the secret from the code immediately 2. Rotate the credential (it's now in git history) 3. Consider using .trufflehog-ignore for known false positives (rarely needed)

Notes

Keep prowler-pr focused on creating PRs and filling the template.
Use prowler-ci for CI policies and gates that apply to PRs.
