## Prompt Templates

### Quick Website Audit

```

## Limitations

- Requires the squirrel CLI to be installed and available in PATH.
- Needs network access to crawl live websites and check links.
- Results depend on crawl limits, site availability, and squirrelscan rules.
- Remote installer commands should be reviewed before use.

## Best Practices

- Confirm that you are authorized to audit the target website.
- Use the LLM report format for concise issue summaries and recommendations.
- Review installer commands and filesystem changes before running setup steps.

## Anti Patterns

- Auditing third-party websites without permission.
- Running remote installer scripts without verification.
- Treating a crawl report as a full penetration test.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-09T08:32:48.597\+00:00
- Summary: Most static findings are false positives from Markdown examples, placeholders, or documented squirrel CLI usage. Confirmed risks are the curl-to-bash and PowerShell irm-to-iex installer guidance, plus contextual risks around implicit target discovery and untrusted audit output.
