Simplified onboarding for deepsec

Vercel's open-source security review harness deepsec now supports one-command setup, allowing users to configure a repository and run its first security review with a single `npx deepsec init` command. The new `init` command automates workspace creation, model access configuration via Vercel AI Gateway or custom provider keys, codebase description generation, pattern scanning, and AI review initiation, with checkpointed setup that resumes from the last completed step if interrupted.

deepsec, the open-source security review harness from Vercel, now lets you set up a repository and run its first security review with a single command.

The init

command now automates the standard setup process:

creates the isolated .deepsec/

workspace, the only thing added to your repository, and installs its dependencies

configures model access, through Vercel AI Gateway or your own provider keys generates a description of the codebase and its attack surface that every later review depends on

runs a pattern scan, generating extra scan patterns where the built-in set leaves coverage gaps

starts the AI review of the flagged files

Setup is checkpointed after each step. If a run stops, whether from closing the process, a failed step, or a hit cost or duration limit, re-running init

resumes from the last completed step.

Run npx deepsec init

to start your first scan, or read the docs to learn more.
