SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires semgrep, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of running static analysis scans on codebases, enabling the identification of vulnerabilities and bugs before code review.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel Scanning: Utilizes parallel subagents for efficient multi-language codebase analysis.
  • Security Analysis: Identifies high-confidence security vulnerabilities with options for "run all" or "important only" scan modes.
  • Pro Tools: Integrates with Semgrep Pro for cross-file taint analysis, enhancing the depth of static analysis.

Quick Start

Run the semgrep skill to initiate a security scan on your codebase, specifying the desired scan mode and output directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan a codebase for vulnerabilities using static analysis?

To scan a codebase for vulnerabilities using static analysis, run the Semgrep skill to initiate a security scan, specifying your desired scan mode and output directory to identify bugs before code review.

Can I run static analysis across multiple programming languages in parallel?

Yes, you can run static analysis across multiple languages in parallel. The Semgrep skill utilizes parallel subagents for efficient multi-language codebase analysis to identify high-confidence security vulnerabilities.

Do I need a Semgrep Pro license to perform cross-file taint analysis?

Yes, you need a Semgrep Pro license. While the base Semgrep CLI handles standard static analysis, integrating Semgrep Pro is required for cross-file taint analysis to enhance the depth of vulnerability scanning.

What is the difference between run all and important only vulnerability scanning modes?

Vulnerability scanning modes differ by filtering scope. The "run all" mode reports every identified vulnerability, while the "important only" mode restricts static analysis results to high-confidence security vulnerabilities.

Does Semgrep work for identifying security bugs before code review?

Yes, Semgrep works for identifying security bugs before code review. The skill streamlines running static analysis scans on codebases, enabling developers to catch and report vulnerabilities early in the development cycle.
