Scans a codebase for security vulnerabilities using CodeQL's interprocedural data flow and taint tracking analysis. Triggers on "run codeql", "codeql scan", "build codeql database", "SAST scan", "taint analysis", "dataflow analysis", or "find vulnerabilities in this repo". Covers Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Java/Kotlin, C/C++, C#, Ruby, and Swift. Supports "run all" (security-and-quality + security-experimental) and "important only" (high-precision) scan modes, and creates data extension models for project-specific sources and sinks. For fast single-file pattern matching, or when no build is available for a compiled language, use the semgrep skill; to parse SARIF that already exists rather than produce it, use the sarif-parsing skill.
