What are the three main SAST tools covered in this skill?

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for Semgrep, SonarQube, and CodeQL. Semgrep is best for custom rules and fast scans across 30+ languages, SonarQube combines code quality and security analysis across 25+ languages, and CodeQL specializes in deep analysis and security research across 10+ languages with native GitHub integration.

How do I integrate SAST scanning into my CI/CD pipeline?

The skill covers integration across GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins, including a GitHub Actions Semgrep integration example and pre-commit hook configuration. The workflow involves identifying your languages and compliance requirements, choosing tools, integrating scans with gating thresholds, tuning rules based on false positives, and tracking remediation.

What does the skill include for custom security rules?

The skill provides guidance on custom rule creation for all three tools, including a specific example for detecting hardcoded JWT secrets. It covers Semgrep's custom pattern-matching rules, SonarQube's custom quality profiles, and CodeQL's custom query development.

How should I handle false positives in SAST scanning?

The skill recommends documenting legitimate suppressions, maintaining allow lists for known-safe patterns, and periodically reviewing suppressed findings. For high false-positive rates specifically, it suggests tuning rule sensitivity, adding path filters for test files, and creating organization-specific rule exceptions.

Does this skill cover compliance-focused scanning?

Yes, the skill includes a PCI-DSS-focused compliance scan command and covers how to configure quality gates and compliance policies. It also explains how SonarQube supports enterprise integration via LDAP/SAML for compliance requirements.

Overview

SAST Configuration

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for setting up and configuring static application security testing (SAST) tools. It covers three major platforms: Semgrep, SonarQube, and CodeQL, delivering detailed configuration instructions for each tool. Use this skill when implementing SAST tools in your development pipeline, standardizing security scanning across repositories, or troubleshooting existing configurations. It is ideal for initial DevSecOps setup or when migrating between SAST solutions.

What it does

This skill delivers comprehensive guidance for setting up and configuring static application security testing (SAST) tools. It covers three major SAST platforms - Semgrep, SonarQube, and CodeQL - helping teams implement automated security scanning in their development workflows.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use this skill when you need to configure SAST tools for the first time in a project, when standardizing security scanning across multiple repositories, or when troubleshooting existing SAST tool configurations. It is particularly valuable during initial DevSecOps pipeline setup or when migrating between different SAST solutions.

Do not use this skill if you need runtime application security testing (RAST) or dynamic application security testing (DAST) guidance, as it focuses exclusively on static code analysis tools. It is not suitable for configuring other types of security tools outside the Semgrep, SonarQube, and CodeQL ecosystem.

Inputs and outputs

You provide your specific SAST tool requirements, target programming languages, and integration context. The skill returns detailed configuration guidance tailored to Semgrep, SonarQube, or CodeQL setup.

Integrations

The skill provides configuration guidance for three SAST platforms:

Semgrep: Lightweight static analysis tool for finding bugs and enforcing code standards
SonarQube: Comprehensive code quality and security platform with continuous inspection capabilities
CodeQL: GitHub's semantic code analysis engine for discovering vulnerabilities across codebases

Who it's for

This skill serves DevSecOps engineers responsible for implementing security scanning in CI/CD pipelines, security architects designing application security programs, and development team leads establishing code quality gates. It benefits platform engineers standardizing SAST configurations across an organization and individual developers setting up security scanning for their projects.
