Atlassian's Security Testing team shares how they use Rovo Dev Skills to enhance whitebox penetration testing workflows. Skills are plain-text Markdown files that give AI agents procedural knowledge and context to orchestrate static analysis tools like Semgrep and TruffleHog, perform AI-assisted code auditing, triage SAST findings to reduce false positives, and generate prioritized test leads for human engineers. The post covers how to write a skill, best practices (structured I/O, avoiding interactive scripts, handling context limits), and when to prefer Skills over MCP integrations for simpler CLI tool wrappers.
