 "page_title": "How to add a GitHub scanner to your review after approval with Openqodex",
 "summary": "Configure a compatible scanner from GitHub, approve it, and run it in your reviews.",
 "who": "A security-minded developer who wants a scanner beyond the 22 built-in ones in one repository.",
 "problem": "The built-in scanners may not cover a check your team needs, and adding one safely takes care.",
 "outcome": "The scanner runs in your next review only after you approve its exact entry.",
 "steps": [
  "Add the scanner under `scanners` and `custom` in `.openqodex/config.yaml`, with its source, run command and target.",
  "Run `npx openqodex trust` and answer yes only after you read what it will run.",
  "Run `npx openqodex scan --only custom:bearer` to see the scanner work.",
  "Run a review, and confirm the custom scanner's findings appear in the output."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repo at <path>, add the Bearer scanner from https://github.com/Bearer/bearer as a custom scanner in .openqodex/config.yaml. Do not run `openqodex trust` until I approve; then run `npx openqodex scan --only custom:bearer` and report whether it produced findings.",

  "any"

 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The Bearer CLI is under the Elastic License 2.0, which is not an open source licence, and a fresh GitHub-hosted runner skips approved custom scanners.",
