## AI overview

A practical guide to configuring AI coding assistants for vulnerability triage with persistent steering instructions. It explains structural verification, evidence-based confidence scoring, infrastructure-aware prioritization, threat intelligence signals, and priority tiers, then reports validation results and shows how to use the methodology in Kiro and other assistants.

## Source excerpt

This post shows you how to configure an AI model to perform structured, evidence-based vulnerability triage with the consistency of a seasoned security analyst. You'll learn the design decisions behind five configuration sections that enforce structural verification, evidence-based scoring, and infrastructure-aware prioritization across every analysis session. Our companion post--Building your AI vulnerability harness--covered the architecture; [...]
