# SAST Configuration

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool setup, configuration, and custom rule creation for comprehensive security scanning across multiple programming languages.

## Use this skill when

- Set up SAST scanning in CI/CD pipelines
- Create custom security rules for your codebase
- Configure quality gates and compliance policies
- Optimize scan performance and reduce false positives
- Integrate multiple SAST tools for defense-in-depth

## Do not use this skill when

- You only need DAST or manual penetration testing guidance
- You cannot access source code or CI/CD pipelines
- You need organizational policy decisions rather than tooling setup

## Instructions

1. Identify languages, repos, and compliance requirements.
2. Choose tools and define a baseline policy.
3. Integrate scans into CI/CD with gating thresholds.
4. Tune rules and suppressions based on false positives.
5. Track remediation and verify fixes.

## Safety

- Avoid scanning sensitive repos with third-party services without approval.
- Prevent leaks of secrets in scan artifacts and logs.

## Overview

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for setting up and configuring SAST tools including Semgrep, SonarQube, and CodeQL.
