@prodcycle/prodcycle

Multi-framework policy-as-code compliance scanner for infrastructure and application code. Scans Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, .env, and application source (TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, Ruby) against SOC 2, HIPAA, and NIST CSF policies.

This repository hosts both the npm (Node.js) package and the PyPI (Python) package wrappers around the ProdCycle compliance REST API (https://api.prodcycle.com/v1/compliance/validate & https://api.prodcycle.com/v1/compliance/hook).

Features

• 3 compliance frameworks: SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST CSF
• Automated policy enforcement: Server-side OPA/Rego and Cedar evaluation engines
• Infrastructure scanning: Terraform, Kubernetes manifests, Dockerfiles, .env files
• Application code scanning: TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, Ruby
• CI/CD integration: CLI with SARIF output for GitHub Code Scanning
• Coding-agent hooks: Real-time post-edit scanning for Claude Code, Cursor, and any stdin-capable agent
• One-command agent setup: prodcycle init writes compliance hook config for supported agents
• Programmatic API: Full TypeScript and Python API for custom integrations
• Self-remediation: gate returns actionable remediation prompts that coding agents can consume directly

Installation

Node.js (npm)

npm install -g @prodcycle/prodcycle

GitHub Packages (npm alternative)

If you prefer to install from GitHub Packages, configure your npm to point to the ProdCycle scope:

echo "@prodcycle:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com" > .npmrc
npm login --scope=@prodcycle --registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
npm install @prodcycle/prodcycle

Python (PyPI)

pip install prodcycle

Quick Start

CLI

The CLI is organised as subcommands: scan, gate, hook, and init. (The bare prodcycle <path> form is kept as a back-compat shim for prodcycle scan <path>.)

# Scan current directory against SOC 2 and HIPAA
prodcycle scan . --framework soc2,hipaa

# Output as SARIF for GitHub Code Scanning
prodcycle scan . --framework soc2 --format sarif --output results.sarif

# Set severity threshold (only report HIGH and above)
prodcycle scan . --framework hipaa --severity-threshold high

# LLM-ready remediation prompt
prodcycle scan . --format prompt

Agent hooks

Auto-configure compliance hooks for the coding agents it detects in your repo (Claude Code, Cursor):

prodcycle init
# or: prodcycle init --agent claude,cursor --force --dir .

Once configured, the agent will pipe each edit through prodcycle hook, which returns a remediation prompt when a finding is produced and exits non-zero to block the edit. You can also invoke the hook directly:

# From an agent — stdin is Claude Code PostToolUse payload or {file_path, content}
echo '{"file_path": "infra/main.tf", "content": "resource \"aws_s3_bucket\" ..."}' \
  | prodcycle hook

# Scan a file on disk instead of reading content from stdin
prodcycle hook --file infra/main.tf --framework soc2,hipaa

gate (CI / pre-commit)

gate accepts a JSON payload of files on stdin and calls the low-latency hook endpoint:

echo '{"files": {"main.tf": "resource \"aws_s3_bucket\" ..."}}' \
  | prodcycle gate --framework soc2

Programmatic API (TypeScript)

import { scan, gate } from '@prodcycle/prodcycle';

// Full Repository Scan
const { findings, exitCode } = await scan({
  repoPath: '/path/to/repo',
  frameworks: ['soc2', 'hipaa'],
  options: {
    severityThreshold: 'high',
    failOn: ['critical', 'high'],
  },
});

console.log(`Found ${findings.length} findings`);
console.log(`Exit code: ${exitCode}`);

// Gate — evaluate in-memory file contents (for coding agents)
const result = await gate({
  files: {
    'src/config.ts': 'export const DB_PASSWORD = "hardcoded-secret";',
    'terraform/main.tf': 'resource "aws_s3_bucket" "data" { }',
  },
  frameworks: ['soc2', 'hipaa'],
});

if (!result.passed) {
  console.log('Compliance issues found:');
  console.log(result.prompt); // Pre-formatted remediation instructions
}

Programmatic API (Python)

from prodcycle import scan, gate

# Full Repository Scan
response = scan(
    repo_path='/path/to/repo',
    frameworks=['soc2', 'hipaa'],
    options={
        'severityThreshold': 'high',
        'failOn': ['critical', 'high'],
    }
)

print(f"Found {len(response['findings'])} findings")
print(f"Exit code: {response['exitCode']}")

# Gate — evaluate in-memory file contents (for coding agents)
result = gate(
    files={
        'src/config.ts': 'export const DB_PASSWORD = "hardcoded-secret";',
        'terraform/main.tf': 'resource "aws_s3_bucket" "data" { }',
    },
    frameworks=['soc2', 'hipaa'],
)

if not result['passed']:
    print('Compliance issues found:')
    print(result['prompt']) # Pre-formatted remediation instructions

API Key

An API key is required for production use to authenticate with ProdCycle. Set it via environment variable:

export PC_API_KEY=pc_your_api_key_here

API keys are created through the ProdCycle dashboard.

File collection

The scanner honours .gitignore at the repo root and prunes common dependency / build directories (node_modules, .git, dist, build, venv, __pycache__, …) during tree-walk. It also applies:

• 256 KB per-file limit — larger files are skipped.
• 10,000 file cap — files beyond the cap are skipped with a stderr warning.
• Binary skipping — non-text files are skipped via a null-byte probe.

Use --include / --exclude on prodcycle scan for custom glob patterns.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 24.0.0
• Python >= 3.12
