What problem does it solve? Manually running security audits produces one-off reports that are hard to compare over time and easy to forget. This Skill wraps Lynis to run profile-appropriate hardening scans, deduplicates findings into a persistent SQLite journal, and tracks the hardening index as a trend so regressions surface instead of getting lost. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Lynis audit orchestration: Runs lynis audit system through an I/O-aware wrapper that defers heavy scans when the host is under load and records the scan's own resource footprint. - Findings journaling and dedup: Folds every Lynis warning and suggestion into a SQLite journal with stable fingerprints, so re-runs update findings in place instead of creating duplicates. - Hardening index trending: Captures the Lynis hardening index as a tracked metric so drift and regressions are visible across audit passes. - Use Case: On a Debian web server, run a scheduled audit pass that skips the scan during peak load, journals new Lynis warnings with severity adjusted to the server profile, and charts the hardening index week over week. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run a system security audit with Lynis and journal the findings and hardening index for this machine.
