codeql

codeql is a skill for Claude Code from waybarrios/opencode-power-pack. It costs 42 tokens per session (3,429 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for using CodeQL, a tool that analyzes source code as data to find security problems, and its SARIF result files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and assess CodeQL databases, run security queries for supported languages, add data-extension models, and process SARIF reports.
Why use it?
It helps avoid missed vulnerabilities caused by poor analysis databases, missing project-specific models, or incorrectly selected security queries.

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

codeql 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.

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.

CodeQL Analysis

Supported languages: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Java/Kotlin, C/C++, C#, Ruby, Swift.

Skill resources: Reference files and templates are located at references/ and workflows/.

Essential Principles

  1. Database quality is non-negotiable. A database that builds is not automatically good. Always run quality assessment (file counts, baseline LoC, extractor errors) and compare against expected source files. A cached build produces zero useful extraction.

  2. Data extensions catch what CodeQL misses. Even projects using standard frameworks (Django, Spring, Express) have custom wrappers around database calls, request parsing, or shell execution. Skipping the create-data-extensions workflow means missing vulnerabilities in project-specific code paths.

  3. Explicit suite references prevent silent query dropping. Never pass pack names directly to codeql database analyze — each pack's defaultSuiteFile applies hidden filters that can produce zero results. Always generate a custom .qls suite file.

  4. Zero findings needs investigation, not celebration. Zero results can indicate poor database quality, missing models, wrong query packs, or silent suite filtering. Investigate before reporting clean.

  5. macOS Apple Silicon requires workarounds for compiled languages. Exit code 137 is arm64e/arm64 mismatch, not a build failure. Try Homebrew arm64 tools or Rosetta before falling back to build-mode=none.

  6. Follow workflows step by step. Once a workflow is selected, execute it step by step without skipping phases. Each phase gates the next — skipping quality assessment or data extensions leads to incomplete analysis.

Output Directory

All generated files (database, build logs, diagnostics, extensions, results) 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_codeql_1. If that already exists, increment to _2, _3, etc.

codeql is a skill published in the GitHub repository waybarrios/opencode-power-pack (540 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 3,429 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
