Security & Testing

Performs high-speed static analysis and security scanning to identify vulnerabilities and enforce custom code patterns.

About

The Semgrep skill integrates powerful static analysis security testing (SAST) directly into your workflow, enabling rapid identification of security flaws and code quality issues. It allows users to execute complex pattern matching, utilize taint mode for tracking data flow, and author custom YAML rules tailored to specific project requirements. Designed for developers and security researchers, this skill streamlines the process of auditing codebases and setting up automated security checks within CI/CD pipelines.

Key Features
