What it does

Run a full VEX pipeline that scans dependencies, enriches CVEs, analyzes exploitability, and drafts an OpenVEX document for review - Brought to you by microsoft/hve-core

When to use it

Use this prompt when a project needs dependency scanning, CVE enrichment, exploitability analysis, and a draft OpenVEX document. Use vex-triage when a supported scan report or SBOM already exists and scanning should be skipped.

How to use it

Optionally provide the project scope and product package URL. Review the evidence behind every status determination; a qualified product security reviewer and author of record must approve the draft before publication.

Example usage

/vex-scan scope=packages/api product=pkg:npm/@example/sample-api

The prompt scans the fictional package and produces an evidence-linked OpenVEX draft for qualified review.
