How to Set Up a Continuous Code Security Scan Using a Hybrid AI Workflow

Implement a 24/7 security scanning system where a local AI model continuously scans your codebase for issues, and a powerful cloud model periodically reviews and validates the findings for a cost-effective solution.

02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Set Up the Local 'BDR' Model

On a machine with high unified memory like a Mac Studio, load a powerful but potentially slow local model (e.g., GLM 5.2). Configure this agent to perform a security scan on your codebase at a regular interval, such as every 30 minutes.

2

Generate Findings Reports

Program the local model to output all of its findings into a structured text file, such as a Markdown report. This report will serve as the input for the next step.

3

Configure the Cloud 'Closer' Model

In a powerful cloud-based AI environment like Claude Code, set up a recurring loop to run once a day. The blog post mentions using a command like /loop 24 hours.

4

Review and Validate Findings

The daily task for your cloud model is to read the Markdown report generated by the local model. It will use its superior reasoning abilities to analyze the list of potential issues.

5

Prioritize and Suggest Fixes

The cloud model acts as the expert 'closer,' reviewing the code snippets associated with the findings, determining which issues are legitimate security risks, and suggesting how to fix them.
