codeql
Scans a codebase for security vulnerabilities using CodeQL's interprocedural data flow and taint tracking analysis. Triggers on "run codeql", "codeql scan", "codeql analysis", "build codeql database", or "find vulnerabilities with codeql". Supports "run all" (security-and-quality + security-experimental suites) and "important only" (high-precision security findings) scan modes. Also handles creating data extension models and processing CodeQL SARIF output.

Frequently asked questions about codeql
What does the codeql skill do?
Scans a codebase for security vulnerabilities using CodeQL's interprocedural data flow and taint tracking analysis. Triggers on "run codeql", "codeql scan", "codeql analysis", "build codeql database", or "find vulnerabilities with codeql". Supports "run all" (security-and-quality + security-experimental suites) and "important only" (high-precision security findings) scan modes. Also handles creating data extension models and processing CodeQL SARIF output. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.
How do I install the codeql skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install trail-of-bits-codeql` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/trail-of-bits-codeql/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.
Which AI tools does codeql work with?
codeql runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.
Is the codeql skill free?
Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.
How do I use codeql after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/trail-of-bits-codeql` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.
Can I share the codeql skill with my team?
Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
