sast-configuration
Configure Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools for automated vulnerability detection in application code. Use when setting up security scanning, implementing DevSecOps practices, or automating code vulnerability detection.
Why this skill is useful
Provides specific configuration patterns and scripts for integrating SAST tools like Semgrep, SonarQube, and CodeQL into CI/CD pipelines, which the AI may not generate reliably on its own.
What it needs
Requires docker, semgrep installed locally. About 3k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-07. 405 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
SAST Configuration Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool setup, configuration, and custom rule creation for comprehensive security scanning across multiple programming languages. Use this skill when Set up SAST scanning in CI/CD pipelines Create custom security rules for your codebase Configure quality gates and compliance policies Optimize scan performance and reduce false positives Integrate multiple SAST tools for defense-in-depth Do not use this skill when You only need DAST or manual penetration testing guidance You cannot access source code or CI/CD pipelines You need organizational policy decisions rather than tooling setup Instructions 1. Identify languages, repos, and compliance requirements. 2. Choose tools and define a baseline policy. 3. Integrate scans into CI/CD with gating thresholds. 4. Tune rules and suppressions based on false positives. 5. Track remediation and verify fixes. Safety Avoid scanning sensitive repos with third-party services without approval. Prevent leaks of secrets in scan artifacts and logs. Overview This skill provides comprehensive guidance for setting up and configuring SAST tools including Semgrep, SonarQube, and CodeQL. Core Capabilities 1. Semgrep Configuration Custom rule creation with pattern matching Language-specific security rules (Python, JavaScript, Go, Java, etc.) CI/CD integration (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins) False positive tuning and rule optimization Organizational policy enforcement 2. SonarQube Setup Quality gate configuration Security hotspot analysis Code coverage and technical debt tracking Custom quality profiles for languages Enterprise integration with LDAP/SAML 3. CodeQL Analysis GitHub Advanced Security integration Custom query development Vulnerability variant analysis Security research workflows SARIF result processing Quick Start Initial Assessment 1. Identify primary programming languages in your codebase 2. Determine compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, SOC 2, etc.) 3. …
