| name | semgrep |
| description | Run Semgrep static analysis scan on a codebase using single-session review passes. Supports two scan modes — "run all" (full ruleset coverage) and "important only" (high-confidence security vulnerabilities). Automatically detects and uses Semgrep Pro for cross-file taint analysis when available. Use when asked to scan code for vulnerabilities, run a security audit with Semgrep, find bugs, or perform static. |

semgrep
Use this skill when the task matches the description above or the source path clearly applies. Start with this concise entrypoint; open ../../../../../skills/by-category/security-compliance-risk/security-reference/semgrep/SKILL.md only when implementation details, commands, assets, or references are needed.
Workflow
- Confirm the task matches this skill's scope.
- Read the local source mirror if more detail is required.
- Follow repository-level
AGENTS.md; use one AI session only.
- Keep claims tied to files, commands, citations, or benchmark artifacts.
