Bringing security review directly into the docs where teams define intent
AI has changed how fast software gets built, but not how it gets secured. Coding agents can turn a design into working code in minutes, while a security review still means a ticket, a queue, and a meeting. So most designs go from idea to production without security ever seeing them, and the flaws that matter most, the ones decided in the design itself, surface after launch, when they are the slowest and most expensive to fix.
When agents build from a spec, a missing security requirement becomes missing behavior in the generated code. That’s why securing the agentic SDLC has to start with design and intent, before the first line of code is written.
The answer is not to slow builders down. It is to bring security to the moment intent is defined. When a security review happens directly in the Notion spec, in about a minute, where people and agents are already working, teams no longer have to choose between speed and security.
Today we’re launching Clover Spec Security Review, a Notion Custom Agent template that adds a security reviewer to your team of AI teammates. It brings a Clover review directly into Notion, where your team already defines what to build, before any agent turns it into code. Security becomes part of the same workflow, not another step teams have to wait for.
What you get with Notion Custom Agents
When you mention the agent on a spec, Clover reads the page and writes a Clover Security Notes block directly into it. Here is what that changes for your team:
- Your coding agents start from a secure spec. The security requirements live in the same document the agents read, so they shape what gets built from the first line of code.
- Security stops being the bottleneck. Every spec gets a security check in about a minute, directly inside Notion, so teams can keep moving without waiting on tickets, review queues, or meetings.
- Every team is held to the same bar. The same organizational requirements apply to every spec, team and revision, and the notes refresh when the design changes, so security coverage grows with how fast you ship.
- Your security team spends its time where it matters. Routine specs get a fast requirements check, and the designs that need a full threat analysis go to a complete Clover review.
- Flaws get fixed while they are still cheap. Clover flags the requirements a design misses and ties each one to the exact component it affects, so the author fixes it in the spec before engineers or coding agents build on it.
How it works
- Add the Clover Spec Security Review template to your Notion workspace and connect it to your Clover account.
- Write your spec the way you already do.
- Type @Clover Spec Security Review on the page. Clover reads the design, checks it against your requirements and writes its notes inline, where the author, reviewers and anyone else on the page can see them.
Try it out
Add Clover Spec Security Review to your Notion workspace and run it on the next spec your team writes. You will need a Clover account. If you don’t have one yet, or you want to see what a full Clover review adds on top of the spec check, get in touch or explore the Clover platform.
