SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automate the extension of Semgrep coverage by generating variant rules from a single exemplar to catch related vulnerability patterns and ensure broader language/framework coverage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate variant Semgrep rules from one exemplar to expand coverage across languages and frameworks
  • Create framework- and language-specific variants with consistent IDs
  • Provide test guidance and examples to validate each variant against existing detections

Quick Start

Provide an exemplar Semgrep rule and run the tool to generate and test related variants.

Frequently Asked Questions about semgrep-rule-variant-creator

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate variant Semgrep rules from an existing rule?

Generate variant Semgrep rules by providing an exemplar rule to the tool, which parses it and emits related vulnerability patterns with consistent IDs across multiple languages and frameworks.

Can I create framework-specific Semgrep rules for different languages?

Yes, you can create framework-specific Semgrep variants for different languages. The tool extends coverage by generating language-specific rules from a single exemplar vulnerability pattern.

How do I test generated Semgrep variant rules for code security?

Test generated Semgrep variant rules using semgrep test commands. The tool provides guidance and examples to validate each variant against existing detections to ensure code security.

What is the best way to expand Semgrep coverage for vulnerability detection?

The best way to expand Semgrep coverage is generating variant rules from an exemplar to catch related vulnerability patterns, ensuring broader language and framework coverage automatically.

Does generating variant Semgrep rules require manual ID management?

No, generating variant Semgrep rules does not require manual ID management. The tool automatically parses the original rule and emits variant rules with consistent IDs.
