AI-Augmented Smart Contract Auditing

A practical program for auditors who want to 2-3x their review speed with AI tooling. Covers prompt engineering for Solidity review, retrieval-augmented audit pipelines, integrating LLMs into Foundry and Slither workflows, and — critically — understanding where models hallucinate and how to catch it before a finding ships.

01 · Outcomes

What you will be able to do.

  • 01Design structured prompts that extract reliable Solidity findings from LLMs
  • 02Build a retrieval-augmented pipeline that feeds a codebase to a model and returns structured output
  • 03Integrate AI assistants into Foundry and Slither analysis workflows
  • 04Identify and flag hallucinated findings before they reach a report
  • 05Evaluate new AI-audit tools rapidly and assess their fit for an engagement
02 · Syllabus

What you will cover.

Week 1

Foundations of LLM-Assisted Code Review

  • How transformer models process Solidity — strengths and blind spots
  • Prompt engineering patterns for security review (few-shot, chain-of-thought)
  • Setting up a reproducible AI-audit workbench
Week 2

Retrieval-Augmented Audit Pipelines

  • Chunking, embedding, and indexing large contract codebases
  • Feeding context windows with the right files at the right time
  • Structured output: getting findings as severity/location/remediation JSON
Week 3

Toolchain Integration

  • Piping Slither and Foundry output into an LLM for triage
  • Building custom MCP tools for audit-specific queries
  • Automating first-pass review with CI-triggered model runs
Week 4

Hallucination Detection & Quality Control

  • Common hallucination patterns in code-review models
  • Cross-checking model output against on-chain state and test results
  • Building a human-in-the-loop review gate
Week 5

Capstone & Tool Evaluation

Who it's for
  • Working auditors looking to increase throughput with AI
  • Security engineers building internal AI-assisted review pipelines
  • Protocol teams that want to pre-screen code before a formal audit
Prerequisites
  • Completion of SCA-201 or active smart-contract audit experience
