Non-coder uses Claude Code to build vulnerability triage tool

A security consultant who admits to not being able to read code has successfully developed a vulnerability triage CLI tool named triage-lens, with Claude Code generating all of the code. The consultant established a set of rules for Claude Code, including requiring tests and plain-language reports, and implemented acceptance checks for the tool's behavior. To verify the tool's accuracy without reading the code, the consultant cross-referenced the tool's output with external data sources like CISA's KEV catalog and EPSS, finding a perfect match for critical vulnerabilities.

    <p>I work in security as a consultant, and I can't read code. That's not modesty. Hand me a Python diff and I cannot tell you whether it's correct.</p> <p>Last week I published a CLI tool called triage-lens. Claude Code wrote every line of it. I wrote none, and I didn't read any …
