opengrep-compliance

Automating code compliance scanning is done by combining OpenGrep rule scanning with LLM analysis to perform comprehensive security audits and static code analysis. This hybrid approach connects findings, recommends fixes, and prioritizes risks across your codebase.

Running static code analysis on a local codebase is best achieved by executing the Python scan script with a target directory and an output directory. This processes your codebase using local OpenGrep rules and LLM analysis to generate compliance reports.

Yes, you need both Python and a local OpenGrep binary installed to perform SAST scanning. The Skill requires these dependencies to execute the scripts that apply deterministic rule scanning and in-depth LLM analysis to your codebase.

OpenGrep rule scanning provides fast, deterministic scanning for known patterns, while LLM analysis performs in-depth contextual evaluation to connect findings and recommend fixes. Combining them offers a more thorough code compliance check than relying solely on standard LLM analysis.

Using OpenGrep without LLM analysis limits results to deterministic pattern matching without contextual remediation. Without the LLM component, the security scanning process cannot connect disparate findings, prioritize risks, or recommend specific fixes for your codebase.
