Imperative for ClaudeA large language model developed by Anthropic that integrates with LLMs.txt for improved content processing. **AI SecurityThe specialized discipline of securing AI systems and their development workflows against vulnerabilities, with focus on preventing hallucinations during code analysis.** refers to the specialized discipline of securing AI systems and their development workflows against vulnerabilities, with particular focus on preventing hallucinationsIncorrect or fabricated information generated by AI models during code analysis and refactoring tasks.—incorrect or fabricated information generated by AI models during code analysis and refactoring tasks. **AI安全**是指保护AI系统及其开发工作流程免受漏洞影响的专门学科，特别关注防止幻觉——AI模型在代码分析和重构任务中生成的错误或虚构信息。 **ClaudeA large language model developed by Anthropic that integrates with LLMs.txt for improved content processing.** is an AI assistant developed by Anthropic that requires deterministic verification tools to ensure accurate code analysis and prevent security vulnerabilities introduced through AI-generated hallucinationsIncorrect or fabricated information generated by AI models during code analysis and refactoring tasks.. **ClaudeA large language model developed by Anthropic that integrates with LLMs.txt for improved content processing.**是由Anthropic开发的AI助手，需要确定性验证工具来确保准确的代码分析，并防止通过AI生成的幻觉引入安全漏洞。 ## The Core Challenge: Hallucination Prevention in AI-Assisted Development Traditional AI code analysis tools operate through file reading and pattern matching, which often leads to incomplete understanding and hallucinationsIncorrect or fabricated information generated by AI models during code analysis and refactoring tasks.. According to industry analysis, this approach creates significant security risks when AI agents make assumptions about codebase structure without verification. 传统的AI代码分析工具通过文件读取和模式匹配进行操作，这通常导致不完整的理解和幻觉。根据行业分析，当AI代理在没有验证的情况下对代码库结构做出假设时，这种方法会产生重大的安全风险。 ### The Database-First Solution TheAuditor addresses this challenge through a fundamentally different architecture: TheAuditor通过一种根本不同的架构来解决这一挑战： **Database-First Static AnalysisA methodology where codebases are indexed into structured SQLite databases before analysis, replacing file I/O with indexed database queries.**: A methodology where codebases are indexed into structured SQLite databases before analysis, replacing slow file I/O operations with indexed database queries. This approach provides deterministic ground truth for AI agents, preventing hallucinationsIncorrect or fabricated information generated by AI models during code analysis and refactoring tasks. by ensuring all queries reference verified, indexed data rather than making assumptions about file contents. **数据库优先静态分析**：一种在分析前将代码库索引到结构化SQLite数据库中的方法，用索引数据库查询取代缓慢的文件I/O操作。这种方法为AI代理提供确定性的基础事实，通过确保所有查询引用已验证的索引数据而不是对文件内容做出假设来防止幻觉。 ## Technical Architecture: Custom Compilers Over Generic Parsers ### Language-Specific Analysis Engines **Python Analysis Engine**: Built on Python's native `ast` module with 27 specialized extractor modules across four categories: **Python分析引擎**：基于Python原生`ast`模块构建，包含27个专业提取器模块，分为四类： * **Core Extractors**: Fundamental language constructs and control flow analysis * **核心提取器**：基本语言结构和控制流分析 * **Framework Extractors**: Django, Flask, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Celery, GraphQL patterns * **框架提取器**：Django、Flask、FastAPI、SQLAlchemy、Celery、GraphQL模式 * **Security Extractors**: Vulnerability detection and data flow tracking * **安全提取器**：漏洞检测和数据流跟踪 * **Advanced Extractors**: Async patterns, protocol analysis, and type resolution * **高级提取器**：异步模式、协议分析和类型解析 **JavaScript/TypeScript Analysis Engine**: Uses the actual TypeScript Compiler API via Node.js subprocess integration, providing: **JavaScript/TypeScript分析引擎**：通过Node.js子进程集成使用实际的TypeScript编译器API，提供： * Full semantic type resolution (not regex pattern matching) * 完整的语义类型解析（非正则表达式模式匹配） * Module resolution across complex import graphs * 跨复杂导入图的模块解析 * JSX/TSX transformation with component tree analysis * 带有组件树分析的JSX/TSX转换 * `tsconfig.json`-aware path aliasing * 支持`tsconfig.json`的路径别名 ### Multi-Language Support Matrix | Language | Parser | Fidelity | |----------|--------|----------| | Python | Native `ast` module + 27 extractors | Full semantic | | TypeScript/JavaScript | TypeScript Compiler API | Full semantic | | Go | Tree-sitter | Structural + taint | | Rust | Tree-sitter | Structural + taint | | Bash | Tree-sitter | Structural + taint | ## Key Differentiators for AI SecurityThe specialized discipline of securing AI systems and their development workflows against vulnerabilities, with focus on preventing hallucinations during code analysis. ### Four-Vector Convergence EngineA multi-dimensional analysis approach combining static, structural, process, and flow analysis for comprehensive security assessment. TheAuditor employs a multi-dimensional analysis approach: TheAuditor采用多维分析方法： 1. **Static Analysis**: Traditional pattern detection **静态分析**：传统模式检测 2. **Structural Analysis**: Code organization and architecture **结构分析**：代码组织和架构 3. **Process Analysis**: Development workflow patterns **过程分析**：开发工作流模式 4. **Flow Analysis**: Data movement and transformation tracking **流分析**：数据移动和转换跟踪 ### Deterministic Query Tools for AI Agents Unlike traditional SAST tools that re-parse files for every query, TheAuditor: 与每次查询都重新解析文件的传统SAST工具不同，TheAuditor： * Indexes code incrementally into SQLite databases * 将代码增量索引到SQLite数据库中 * Enables sub-second queries across 100K+ LOC * 实现对10万+行代码的亚秒级查询 * Re-indexes only when files change, branches switch, or after code edits * 仅在文件更改、分支切换或代码编辑后重新索引 * Provides 25 rule categories with 200+ detection functions * 提供25个规则类别和200多个检测函数 ## Practical Implementation for ClaudeA large language model developed by Anthropic that integrates with LLMs.txt for improved content processing.
