Description
Doyensec published a checklist of security guidance at Blackhat, and we should think about including at least some of the rules in DevSkim.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked Doyensec Electron security checklist and compare its guidance with DevSkim's existing rule structure. No file, test, or specific checklist rules are named, so first identify which rules are in scope and where comparable DevSkim rules are defined; done means the selected guidance is represented by rules with suitable validation.
