Choose Your Output Format

How Should Your Auditor Report?

The output format determines how useful your findings are. A beautiful markdown report is great for humans but cannot be parsed by machines. A JSON blob is perfect for automation but hard to read.

The AI Auditor Arena accepts any format but scores best with structured output it can parse. If you want your results to be accurately scored, JSON + Markdown is recommended.

Markdown Report

Human-readable markdown with severity headers and finding details.

Pros: Easy to read, easy to share, works everywhere. Cons: Hard to parse programmatically. Arena scoring relies on text matching.

JSON + Markdown

Machine-parseable JSON with a findings array, plus human-readable markdown. This is what Krait produces. The Arena parser handles this format natively.

Pros: Best of both worlds. Arena compatible. Can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines. Cons: Slightly more complex skill instructions.

Full Reporting Suite

JSON + Markdown + severity classification + confidence scores + exploit construction + remediation + discovery path. The most informative format.

Pros: Maximum information. Professional-grade reports. Complete audit trail. Cons: Most complex to implement. Longest output. Highest token usage.

After this step, your skill is complete. Step 10 is the first real test.
