sast-configuration

Overview

What is sast-configuration?

The sast-configuration skill provides a practical framework for setting up and managing Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools in your development workflow. It is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and security teams who need to automate vulnerability detection in application code using tools like Semgrep, SonarQube, and CodeQL.

Who should use this skill?

• Teams implementing DevSecOps practices
• Organizations seeking automated security audits in CI/CD pipelines
• Developers aiming to enforce secure coding standards
• Security auditors requiring custom rule creation and multi-tool integration

Problems solved

• Automates vulnerability scanning in source code
• Simplifies integration of SAST tools into CI/CD workflows
• Enables custom security rule creation and policy enforcement
• Reduces false positives and improves scan efficiency

How to Use

Installation Steps

1. Add the skill to your project:
   Use the following command to install:

   npx skills add https://github.com/wshobson/agents --skill sast-configuration

2. Review key documentation:

   • Start with SKILL.md for an overview and setup instructions.
   • Check README.md, AGENTS.md, and metadata.json for additional context.
   • Explore the rules/, resources/, and scripts/ directories for custom rules and automation helpers.

3. Adapt to your environment:

   • Integrate SAST tools (Semgrep, SonarQube, CodeQL) into your CI/CD pipeline (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins).
   • Customize security rules and quality gates to match your codebase and compliance needs.
   • Use provided templates and scripts as a starting point, modifying them for your specific requirements.

Best Practices

• Regularly update your SAST tool configurations to address new security threats.
• Tune rules to minimize false positives and focus on critical vulnerabilities.
• Combine multiple SAST tools for broader coverage and defense-in-depth.
