semgrep

semgrep is a skill for Claude Code from CraftOS-dev/CraftBot. It costs 95 tokens per session (2,330 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for scanning a codebase with Semgrep, a tool that checks source code for known security and bug patterns. It can run broad or high-confidence scans and produce SARIF results, a standard format for tool findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan supported codebases, detect languages automatically, check for security vulnerabilities, and prepare results for review or CI pipelines.
Why use it?
It helps locate security issues across a project while reducing scan telemetry and combining findings into one report.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

semgrep 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/merge_sarif.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Semgrep Security Scan

Run a Semgrep scan with automatic language detection, parallel execution via Task subagents, and merged SARIF output.

Essential Principles

  1. Always use --metrics=off — Semgrep sends telemetry by default; --config auto also phones home. Every semgrep command must include --metrics=off to prevent data leakage during security audits.
  2. User must approve the scan plan (Step 3 is a hard gate) — The original "scan this codebase" request is NOT approval. Present exact rulesets, target, engine, and mode; wait for explicit "yes"/"proceed" before spawning scanners.
  3. Third-party rulesets are required, not optional — Trail of Bits, 0xdea, and Decurity rules catch vulnerabilities absent from the official registry. Include them whenever the detected language matches.
  4. Spawn all scan Tasks in a single message — Parallel execution is the core performance advantage. Never spawn Tasks sequentially; always emit all Task tool calls in one response.
  5. Always check for Semgrep Pro before scanning — Pro enables cross-file taint tracking and catches ~250% more true positives. Skipping the check means silently missing critical inter-file vulnerabilities.

When to Use

  • Security audit of a codebase
  • Finding vulnerabilities before code review
  • Scanning for known bug patterns
  • First-pass static analysis

When NOT to Use

  • Binary analysis → Use binary analysis tools
  • Already have Semgrep CI configured → Use existing pipeline
  • Need cross-file analysis but no Pro license → Consider CodeQL as alternative
  • Creating custom Semgrep rules → Use semgrep-rule-creator skill
  • Porting existing rules to other languages → Use semgrep-rule-variant-creator skill

Output Directory

All scan results, SARIF files, and temporary data are stored in a single output directory.

  • If the user specifies an output directory in their prompt, use it as OUTPUT_DIR.
  • If not specified, default to ./static_analysis_semgrep_1. If that already exists, increment to _2, _3, etc.

What ships with it

5 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.

semgrep is a skill published in the GitHub repository CraftOS-dev/CraftBot (400 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 2,330 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
