security-ownership-map
Analyze git repositories to build a security ownership topology (people-to-file), compute bus factor and sensitive-code ownership, and export CSV/JSON for graph databases and visualization. Trigger only when the user explicitly wants a security-oriented ownership or bus-factor analysis grounded in git history (for example: orphaned sensitive code, security maintainers, CODEOWNERS reality checks for risk, sensitive hotspots, or ownership clusters). Do not trigger for general maintainer lists or non-security ownership questions.
Best use case
security-ownership-map is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

# Security Ownership Map
## Overview
Build a bipartite graph of people and files from git history, then compute ownership risk and export graph artifacts for Neo4j/Gephi. Also build a file co-change graph (Jaccard similarity on shared commits) to cluster files by how they move together while ignoring large, noisy commits.
## Requirements
- Python 3
- `networkx` (required; community detection is enabled by default)
Install with:
```bash
pip install networkx
```
## Workflow
1. Scope the repo and time window (optional `--since/--until`).
2. Decide sensitivity rules (use defaults or provide a CSV config).
3. Build the ownership map with `scripts/run_ownership_map.py` (co-change graph is on by default; use `--cochange-max-files` to ignore supernode commits).
4. Communities are computed by default; graphml output is optional (`--graphml`).
5. Query the outputs with `scripts/query_ownership.py` for bounded JSON slices.
6. Persist and visualize (see `references/neo4j-import.md`).
By default, the co-change graph ignores common “glue” files (lockfiles, `.github/*`, editor config) so clusters reflect actual code movement instead of shared infra edits. Override with `--cochange-exclude` or `--no-default-cochange-excludes`. Dependabot commits are excluded by default; override with `--no-default-author-excludes` or add patterns via `--author-exclude-regex`.
If you want to exclude Linux build glue like `Kbuild` from co-change clustering, pass:
```bash
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/run_ownership_map.py \
--repo /path/to/linux \
--out ownership-map-out \
--cochange-exclude "**/Kbuild"
```
## Quick start
Run from the repo root:
```bash
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/run_ownership_map.py \
--repo . \
--out ownership-map-out \
--since "12 months ago" \
--emit-commits
```
Defaults: author identity, author date, and merge commits excluded. Use `--identity committer`, `--date-field committer`, or `--include-merges` if needed.
Example (override co-change excludes):
```bash
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/run_ownership_map.py \
--repo . \
--out ownership-map-out \
--cochange-exclude "**/Cargo.lock" \
--cochange-exclude "**/.github/**" \
--no-default-cochange-excludes
```
Communities are computed by default. To disable:
```bash
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/run_ownership_map.py \
--repo . \
--out ownership-map-out \
--no-communities
```
## Sensitivity rules
By default, the script flags common auth/crypto/secret paths. Override by providing a CSV file:
```
# pattern,tag,weight
**/auth/**,auth,1.0
**/crypto/**,crypto,1.0
**/*.pem,secrets,1.0
```
Use it with `--sensitive-config path/to/sensitive.csv`.
## Output artifacts
`ownership-map-out/` contains:
- `people.csv` (nodes: people)
- `files.csv` (nodes: files)
- `edges.csv` (edges: touches)
- `cochange_edges.csv` (file-to-file co-change edges with Jaccard weight; omitted with `--no-cochange`)
- `summary.json` (security ownership findings)
- `commits.jsonl` (optional, if `--emit-commits`)
- `communities.json` (computed by default from co-change edges when available; includes `maintainers` per community; disable with `--no-communities`)
- `cochange.graph.json` (NetworkX node-link JSON with `community_id` + `community_maintainers`; falls back to `ownership.graph.json` if no co-change edges)
- `ownership.graphml` / `cochange.graphml` (optional, if `--graphml`)
`people.csv` includes timezone detection based on author commit offsets: `primary_tz_offset`, `primary_tz_minutes`, and `timezone_offsets`.
## LLM query helper
Use `scripts/query_ownership.py` to return small, JSON-bounded slices without loading the full graph into context.
Examples:
```bash
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out people --limit 10
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out files --tag auth --bus-factor-max 1
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out person --person alice@corp --limit 10
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out file --file crypto/tls
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out cochange --file crypto/tls --limit 10
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out summary --section orphaned_sensitive_code
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out community --id 3
```
Use `--community-top-owners 5` (default) to control how many maintainers are stored per community.
## Basic security queries
Run these to answer common security ownership questions with bounded output:
```bash
# Orphaned sensitive code (stale + low bus factor)
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out summary --section orphaned_sensitive_code
# Hidden owners for sensitive tags
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out summary --section hidden_owners
# Sensitive hotspots with low bus factor
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out summary --section bus_factor_hotspots
# Auth/crypto files with bus factor <= 1
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out files --tag auth --bus-factor-max 1
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out files --tag crypto --bus-factor-max 1
# Who is touching sensitive code the most
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out people --sort sensitive_touches --limit 10
# Co-change neighbors (cluster hints for ownership drift)
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out cochange --file path/to/file --min-jaccard 0.05 --limit 20
# Community maintainers (for a cluster)
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/query_ownership.py --data-dir ownership-map-out community --id 3
# Monthly maintainers for the community containing a file
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/community_maintainers.py \
--data-dir ownership-map-out \
--file network/card.c \
--since 2025-01-01 \
--top 5
# Quarterly buckets instead of monthly
python skills/skills/security-ownership-map/scripts/community_maintainers.py \
--data-dir ownership-map-out \
--file network/card.c \
--since 2025-01-01 \
--bucket quarter \
--top 5
```
Notes:
- Touches default to one authored commit (not per-file). Use `--touch-mode file` to count per-file touches.
- Use `--window-days 90` or `--weight recency --half-life-days 180` to smooth churn.
- Filter bots with `--ignore-author-regex '(bot|dependabot)'`.
- Use `--min-share 0.1` to show stable maintainers only.
- Use `--bucket quarter` for calendar quarter groupings.
- Use `--identity committer` or `--date-field committer` to switch from author attribution.
- Use `--include-merges` to include merge commits (excluded by default).
### Summary format (default)
Use this structure, add fields if needed:
```json
{
"orphaned_sensitive_code": [
{
"path": "crypto/tls/handshake.rs",
"last_security_touch": "2023-03-12T18:10:04+00:00",
"bus_factor": 1
}
],
"hidden_owners": [
{
"person": "alice@corp",
"controls": "63% of auth code"
}
]
}
```
## Graph persistence
Use `references/neo4j-import.md` when you need to load the CSVs into Neo4j. It includes constraints, import Cypher, and visualization tips.
## Notes
- `bus_factor_hotspots` in `summary.json` lists sensitive files with low bus factor; `orphaned_sensitive_code` is the stale subset.
- If `git log` is too large, narrow with `--since` or `--until`.
- Compare `summary.json` against CODEOWNERS to highlight ownership drift.Related Skills
