semgrep

semgrep is a skill for Claude Code from marduk191/qwen3_mcp. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,184 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for running Semgrep, a source-code scanner that finds matching patterns and known security problems using rules. It can also use custom YAML rules and taint analysis, which tracks potentially unsafe data through code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan files or projects, write Semgrep rules, find vulnerability patterns, or add scans to continuous-integration checks.
Why use it?
It provides quick checks for security issues, bugs, and coding-rule violations before deeper analysis or deployment.

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 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

Semgrep Static Analysis

When to Use Semgrep

Ideal scenarios:

  • Quick security scans (minutes, not hours)
  • Pattern-based bug detection
  • Enforcing coding standards and best practices
  • Finding known vulnerability patterns
  • Single-file analysis without complex data flow
  • First-pass analysis before deeper tools

Consider CodeQL instead when:

  • Need interprocedural taint tracking across files
  • Complex data flow analysis required
  • Analyzing custom proprietary frameworks

When NOT to Use

Do NOT use this skill for:

  • Complex interprocedural data flow analysis (use CodeQL instead)
  • Binary analysis or compiled code without source
  • Custom deep semantic analysis requiring AST/CFG traversal
  • When you need to track taint across many function boundaries

Installation

# pip
python3 -m pip install semgrep

# Homebrew
brew install semgrep

# Docker
docker run --rm -v "${PWD}:/src" returntocorp/semgrep semgrep --config auto /src

# Update
pip install --upgrade semgrep

Core Workflow

1. Quick Scan

semgrep --config auto .                    # Auto-detect rules
semgrep --config auto --metrics=off .      # Disable telemetry for proprietary code

2. Use Rulesets

semgrep --config p/<RULESET> .             # Single ruleset
semgrep --config p/security-audit --config p/trailofbits .  # Multiple
Ruleset Description
p/default General security and code quality
p/security-audit Comprehensive security rules
p/owasp-top-ten OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
p/cwe-top-25 CWE Top 25 vulnerabilities
p/r2c-security-audit r2c security audit rules
p/trailofbits Trail of Bits security rules
p/python Python-specific
p/javascript JavaScript-specific
p/golang Go-specific

3. Output Formats

semgrep --config p/security-audit --sarif -o results.sarif .   # SARIF
semgrep --config p/security-audit --json -o results.json .     # JSON
semgrep --config p/security-audit --dataflow-traces .          # Show data flow

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 marduk191/qwen3_mcp (13 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 2,184 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
