Audit Prep Assistant
Purpose
Helps prepare for a security review using Trail of Bits' checklist. A well-prepared codebase makes the review process smoother and more effective.
Use this: 1-2 weeks before your security audit
The Preparation Process
Step 1: Set Review Goals
Helps define what you want from the review:
Key Questions:
- What's the overall security level you're aiming for?
- What areas concern you most?
- Previous audit issues?
- Complex components?
- Fragile parts?
- What's the worst-case scenario for your project?
Documents goals to share with the assessment team.
Step 2: Resolve Easy Issues
Runs static analysis and helps fix low-hanging fruit:
Run Static Analysis:
For Solidity:
slither . --exclude-dependencies
For Rust:
dylint --all
For Go:
golangci-lint run
For Go/Rust/C++:
# CodeQL and Semgrep checks
Then I'll:
- Triage all findings
- Help fix easy issues
- Document accepted risks
Increase Test Coverage:
- Analyze current coverage
- Identify untested code
- Suggest new tests
- Run full test suite
Remove Dead Code:
- Find unused functions/variables
- Identify unused libraries
- Locate stale features
- Suggest cleanup
Goal: Clean static analysis report, high test coverage, minimal dead code
Step 3: Ensure Code Accessibility
Helps make code clear and accessible:
Provide Detailed File List:
- List all files in scope
- Mark out-of-scope files
- Explain folder structure
- Document dependencies
Create Build Instructions:
- Write step-by-step setup guide
- Test on fresh environment
- Document dependencies and versions
- Verify build succeeds
Freeze Stable Version:
- Identify commit hash for review
- Create dedicated branch
- Tag release version
- Lock dependencies
Identify Boilerplate:
- Mark copied/forked code
- Highlight your modifications
- Document third-party code
- Focus review on your code
Step 4: Generate Documentation
Helps create documentation:
Flowcharts and Sequence Diagrams:
- Map primary workflows
- Show component relationships
- Visualize data flow
- Identify critical paths
User Stories:
- Define user roles
- Document use cases
- Explain interactions
- Clarify expectations
On-chain/Off-chain Assumptions:
- Data validation procedures
- Oracle information
- Bridge assumptions
- Trust boundaries
Actors and Privileges:
- List all actors
- Document roles
- Define privileges
- Map access controls
External Developer Docs:
- Link docs to code
- Keep synchronized
- Explain architecture
- Document APIs
Function Documentation:
- System and function invariants
- Parameter ranges (min/max values)
- Arithmetic formulas and precision loss
- Complex logic explanations
- NatSpec for Solidity
Glossary:
- Define domain terms
- Explain acronyms
- Consistent terminology
- Business logic concepts
Video Walkthroughs (optional):
- Complex workflows
- Areas of concern
- Architecture overview
How I Work
When invoked, I will:
- Help set review goals - Ask about concerns and document them
- Run static analysis - Execute appropriate tools for your platform
- Analyze test coverage - Identify gaps and suggest improvements
- Find dead code - Search for unused code and libraries
- Review accessibility - Check build instructions and scope clarity
- Generate documentation - Create flowcharts, user stories, glossaries
- Create prep checklist - Track what's done and what's remaining
Adapts based on:
- Your platform (Solidity, Rust, Go, etc.)
- Available tools
- Existing documentation
- Review timeline
Rationalizations (Do Not Skip)
| Rationalization | Why It's Wrong | Required Action |
|---|---|---|
| "README covers setup, no need for detailed build instructions" | READMEs assume context auditors don't have | Test build on fresh environment, document every dependency version |
| "Static analysis already ran, no need to run again" | Codebase changed since last run | Execute static analysis tools, generate fresh report |
| "Test coverage looks decent" | "Looks decent" isn't measured coverage | Run coverage tools, identify specific untested code paths |
| "Not much dead code to worry about" | Dead code hides during manual review | Use automated detection tools to find unused functions/variables |
| "Architecture is straightforward, no diagrams needed" | Text descriptions miss visual patterns | Generate actual flowcharts and sequence diagrams |
| "Can freeze version right before audit" | Last-minute freezing creates rushed handoff | Identify and document commit hash now, create dedicated branch |
| "Terms are self-explanatory" | Domain knowledge isn't universal | Create comprehensive glossary with all domain-specific terms |
| "I'll do this step later" | Steps build on each other - skipping creates gaps | Complete all 4 steps sequentially, track progress with checklist |
Example Output
When I finish helping you prepare, you'll have concrete deliverables like:
=== AUDIT PREP PACKAGE ===
Project: DeFi DEX Protocol
Audit Date: March 15, 2024
Preparation Status: Complete
---
## REVIEW GOALS DOCUMENT
Security Objectives:
- Verify economic security of liquidity pool swaps
- Validate oracle manipulation resistance
- Assess flash loan attack vectors
Areas of Concern:
1. Complex AMM pricing calculation (src/SwapRouter.sol:89-156)
2. Multi-hop swap routing logic (src/Router.sol)
3. Oracle price aggregation (src/PriceOracle.sol:45-78)
Worst-Case Scenario:
- Flash loan attack drains liquidity pools via oracle manipulation
Questions for Auditors:
- Can the AMM pricing model produce negative slippage under edge cases?
- Is the slippage protection sufficient to prevent sandwich attacks?
- How resilient is the system to temporary oracle failures?
