Secure coding practices and tooling that guide developers and AI coding agents toward safer defaults — rules, skills, and review loops that prevent introducing common vulnerability classes.
Key Points

- Complements post-hoc vulnerability-detection / vulnerability-localization
- Increasingly relevant as AI agents write more production code
