Community-powered security with AI: an open source framework for security research

This document presents the GitHub Security Lab Taskflow Agent—an experimental, open-source framework that codifies and scales security expertise through YAML-defined taskflows and MCP-enabled toolboxes (e.g., CodeQL, GHSA utilities) for tasks like variant analysis. It provides step-by-step setup via Codespaces, Linux, or Docker, demonstrates a GHSA-based audit workflow, and explains the architecture (personalities, toolboxes, memcache), import mechanics, and collaboration model to encourage community-created taskflows and reusable MCP servers.
