title: 'Prowler Studio'
---
**Prowler Studio is an AI workflow that ensures Claude Code follows Prowler's skills, guardrails, and best practices when creating new security checks.** What lands in the resulting pull request is consistent, tested, and ready for human review — not half-correct boilerplate that needs to be rewritten.
<Info>
**Contributor Tool**: Prowler Studio is a workflow for advanced contributors adding new Prowler security checks. It is not part of Prowler Cloud, Prowler App, or Prowler CLI.
</Info>
<Warning>
**Preview Feature**: Prowler Studio is under active development and breaking changes are expected. Please report issues or share feedback on [GitHub](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler-studio/issues) or in the [Slack community](https://goto.prowler.com/slack).
</Warning>

## The Problem
Adding a new check to [Prowler](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler) is more than writing detection logic. A correct check has to:
- Match Prowler's exact service and check folder structure and naming conventions
- Wire up metadata, severity, remediation, tests, and compliance mappings
- Mirror the patterns used by the hundreds of existing checks in the same provider
- Actually load when Prowler scans for available checks — silent structural mistakes are easy to make
Asking a general-purpose AI assistant to do this usually means guessing. It misses conventions, skips tests, or invents structure that looks right but does not load. The result is a half-correct PR that needs to be reviewed line by line or rewritten.
## The Solution
Prowler Studio enforces the workflow end-to-end. Describe the check once — a markdown ticket, a Jira issue, or a GitHub issue — and the workflow:
1. **Loads Prowler-specific skills into every agent.** Every step starts with the same context an experienced Prowler engineer would have in mind. See [AI Skills System](/developer-guide/ai-skills) for how skills are structured.
2. **Runs specialized agents in sequence.** Implementation → testing → compliance mapping → review → PR creation. Each agent has one job and a tight scope.
3. **Verifies as it goes.** The check must load in Prowler. Tests must pass. If something fails, the agent fixes it and re-runs (up to a bounded number of attempts) before moving on.
4. **Produces a complete pull request.** Branch, passing check, tests, compliance mappings, and a pull request waiting for human review.
The result is a consistent starting point, every time, on every supported provider.
## Quick Start
### Install
Prowler Studio requires [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) — see the official [installation guide](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).
```bash
git clone https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler-studio
cd prowler-studio
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate
```
### Describe the Check
A ticket is a structured markdown description of the check to create. It is the only input the workflow needs; every agent (implementation, testing, compliance mapping, review, PR creation) uses it as the source of truth, so the more concrete it is, the closer the first PR will land to the desired outcome.
The ticket can be supplied in three ways:
- **Local markdown file** → `--ticket path/to/ticket.md`
- **Jira issue** → `--jira-url https://...` (uses the issue body)
- **GitHub issue** → `--github-url https://...` (uses the issue body)
The content should follow the **New Check Request** template:
- The local copy at [`check_ticket_template.md`](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler-studio/blob/main/check_ticket_template.md) covers `--ticket` and Jira tickets.
- A prefilled GitHub form is also available: [Create a New Check Request issue](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler/issues/new?template=new-check-request.yml).
Sections marked *Optional* can be skipped; everything else helps the agents make the right decisions.
### Run the Workflow
From a local markdown ticket:
```bash
prowler-studio --ticket check_ticket.md
```
From a Jira ticket:
```bash
prowler-studio --jira-url https://mycompany.atlassian.net/browse/PROJ-123
```
From a GitHub issue:
```bash
prowler-studio --github-url https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123
```
<Note>
Provide exactly one of `--ticket`, `--jira-url`, or `--github-url`.
</Note>
Keep changes local (no push, no pull request):
```bash
prowler-studio -b feat/my-check --ticket check_ticket.md --local
```
### What You Get
After a successful run the working environment contains:
- A new branch on a clean Prowler worktree containing the check, metadata, tests, and compliance mappings
- A pull request opened against Prowler (skipped with `--local`)
- A timestamped log file under `logs/` capturing every step the agents took
## CLI Options
| Option | Short | Description |
|--------|-------|-------------|
| `--branch` | `-b` | Branch name (default: `feat/<ticket>-<check_name>` or `feat/<check_name>`) |
| `--ticket` | `-t` | Path to a markdown check ticket file |
| `--jira-url` | `-j` | Jira ticket URL (e.g., `https://mycompany.atlassian.net/browse/PROJ-123`) |
| `--github-url` | `-g` | GitHub issue URL (e.g., `https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123`) |
| `--working-dir` | `-w` | Working directory for the Prowler clone (default: `./working`) |
| `--no-worktree` | | Legacy mode — work directly on the main clone instead of using worktrees |
| `--cleanup-worktree` | | Remove the worktree after a successful pull request is created |
| `--local` | | Keep changes local — skip push and pull request creation |
## Configuration
Set these environment variables depending on the input source:
| Variable | When Needed | Purpose |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `GITHUB_TOKEN` | `--github-url` (recommended) | Higher GitHub API rate limits and access to private issues |
| `JIRA_SITE_URL` | `--jira-url` | Jira site, e.g. `https://mycompany.atlassian.net` |
| `JIRA_EMAIL` | `--jira-url` | Email of the Jira account used to fetch the ticket |
| `JIRA_API_TOKEN` | `--jira-url` | API token for the Jira account |

title: 'Prowler Check Kreator'
---
<Note>
Currently, this tool is only available for creating checks for the AWS provider.
</Note>
<Note>
If you are looking for a way to create new checks for all the supported providers, you can use [Prowler Studio](https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler-studio), it is an AI-powered toolkit for generating and managing security checks for Prowler (better version of the Check Kreator).
</Note>
## Introduction
**Prowler Check Kreator** is a utility designed to streamline the creation of new checks for Prowler. This tool generates all necessary files required to add a new check to the Prowler repository. Specifically, it creates:
- A dedicated folder for the check.
- The main check script.
- A metadata file with essential details.
- A folder and file structure for testing the check.
## Usage
To use the tool, execute the main script with the following command:
```bash
python util/prowler_check_kreator/prowler_check_kreator.py <prowler_provider> <check_name>
```
Parameters:
- `<prowler_provider>`: Currently only AWS is supported.
- `<check_name>`: The name you wish to assign to the new check.
## AI integration
This tool optionally integrates AI to assist in generating the check code and metadata file content. When AI assistance is chosen, the tool uses [Gemini](https://gemini.google.com/) to produce preliminary code and metadata.
<Note>
For this feature to work, you must have the library `google-generativeai` installed in your Python environment.
</Note>
<Warning>
AI-generated code and metadata might contain errors or require adjustments to align with specific Prowler requirements. Carefully review all AI-generated content before committing.
</Warning>
To enable AI assistance, simply confirm when prompted by the tool. Additionally, ensure that the `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable is set with a valid Gemini API key. For instructions on obtaining your API key, refer to the [Gemini documentation](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/api-key).
