+# Scripts
+
+This directory contains utility scripts for the Hastebin project.
+
+## Git Hooks Installation
+
+### `install-git-hooks.sh`
+
+Installs Git pre-commit hooks to prevent pushing broken code. The hook runs core tests before each commit.
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```bash
+./scripts/install-git-hooks.sh
+```
+
+**What it does:**
+
+1. Creates a pre-commit hook in `.git/hooks/pre-commit`
+2. The hook runs `npm run test:core` before each commit
+3. If tests fail, the commit is aborted
+4. Automatically installs dependencies if `node_modules` is missing
+
+**Skipping the hook:**
+
+If you need to skip the pre-commit hook (not recommended), use:
+
+```bash
+git commit --no-verify
+```
+
+**Note:** The hook runs core tests only (faster than the full test suite) to keep commit times reasonable. Full tests are still run in CI/CD via Woodpecker.
+
+## Security Scanning
+
+### SBOM Generation
+
+#### `scan-sbom.sh`
+
+Generates a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for the source code using Syft. Creates SBOM files in multiple formats (table, SPDX JSON, CycloneDX JSON).
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```bash
+./scripts/scan-sbom.sh
+# or
+npm run scan:sbom
+```
+
+**Output files:**
+- `sbom.txt` - Human-readable table format
+- `sbom.spdx.json` - SPDX JSON format
+- `sbom.cyclonedx.json` - CycloneDX JSON format
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Syft (automatically installed if not present)
+
+### Trivy Security Scans
+
+#### `scan-trivy-fs.sh`
+
+Runs Trivy filesystem security scan to detect vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in the codebase and Dockerfile.
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```bash
+./scripts/scan-trivy-fs.sh
+# or
+npm run scan:trivy
+```
+
+**What it scans:**
+- Filesystem for vulnerabilities (HIGH and CRITICAL severity)
+- Dockerfile for misconfigurations
+- Reports findings but doesn't fail (exit code 0)
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Trivy installed (`brew install trivy` or see [Trivy installation guide](https://aquasecurity.github.io/trivy/latest/getting-started/installation/))
+
+#### `scan-trivy-image.sh`
+
+Builds the Docker image and scans it for vulnerabilities using Trivy.
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```bash
+./scripts/scan-trivy-image.sh [image-name]
+# or
+npm run scan:trivy:image
+```
+
+**Default image name:** `hastebin:test`
+
+**What it does:**
+1. Builds the Docker image
+2. Scans the image for vulnerabilities (HIGH and CRITICAL severity)
+3. Fails if unfixed vulnerabilities are found (exit code 1)
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Docker
+- Trivy installed
+
+### Image SBOM Generation
+
+#### `scan-sbom-image.sh`
+
+Builds the Docker image and generates an SBOM for it.
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```bash
+./scripts/scan-sbom-image.sh [image-name]
+# or
+npm run scan:sbom:image
+```
+
+**Default image name:** `hastebin:test`
+
+**Output files:**
+- `sbom-image.txt` - Human-readable table format
+- `sbom-image.spdx.json` - SPDX JSON format
+- `sbom-image.cyclonedx.json` - CycloneDX JSON format
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Docker
+- Syft (automatically installed if not present)
+
+### Running All Scans
+
+To run both SBOM generation and Trivy filesystem scan:
+
+```bash
+npm run scan:all
+```
+
+This runs:
+1. SBOM generation for source code
+2. Trivy filesystem security scan
