Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00034 | $0.01855 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00928 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00371 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00186 |
Grade A, and why
implementing-github-advanced-security-for-code-scanning scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
88% identical to implementing-github-advanced-security-for-code-scanning — 23 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Implementing GitHub Advanced Security for Code Scanning
Overview
GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) integrates CodeQL-powered static application security testing directly into the GitHub development workflow. CodeQL treats code as data, enabling semantic analysis that identifies security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, buffer overflows, and authentication flaws with significantly fewer false positives than traditional pattern-matching scanners. GHAS encompasses code scanning, secret scanning, dependency review, and Dependabot alerts to provide a comprehensive security posture for repositories.
When to Use
- When deploying or configuring implementing github advanced security for code scanning capabilities in your environment
- When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
- When building or improving security architecture for this domain
- When conducting security assessments that require this implementation
Prerequisites
- GitHub Enterprise Cloud or GitHub Enterprise Server 3.0+ with GHAS license
- Repository admin or organization owner permissions
- Familiarity with GitHub Actions workflow syntax (YAML)
- Supported languages: C/C++, C#, Go, Java/Kotlin, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Swift
Core Concepts
CodeQL Analysis Engine
CodeQL compiles source code into a queryable database, then executes security-focused queries against that database. The query suites ship with hundreds of checks mapped to CWE identifiers and cover OWASP Top 10, SANS Top 25, and language-specific vulnerability patterns. Custom queries can be authored using the CodeQL query language (QL) to detect organization-specific anti-patterns.
Default Setup vs. Advanced Setup
Default Setup enables code scanning with a single click from the repository's Code Security settings. GitHub automatically determines the languages present, selects appropriate query suites, and configures scanning triggers. This approach requires no workflow file and is ideal for rapid onboarding.
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

importing-a-codebase
Use when the repo holds real source code but no specs: the existing-codebase branch of setting-up-a-project, normally reached via that dispatcher, directly only when the situation is unmistakable. Not for empty workspaces (starting-a-new-project) or feature work in a specced project (brainstorming).
starting-a-new-project
Use when the workspace is empty — no code yet — and the user brings a raw idea: the brand-new branch of setting-up-a-project, normally reached via that dispatcher, directly only when the situation is unmistakable. Not for features in an existing project — use brainstorming instead.
