Add source material, audience, limits and known facts.
3Define done
Set format, quality criteria and checks.
Adaptable starting prompt
Replace the brackets with your case
When to use it
Ideal scenarios:
- Porting an existing Semgrep rule to one or more target languages
- Creating language-specific variants of a universal vulnerability pattern
- Expanding rule coverage across a polyglot codebase
- Translating rules between languages with equivalent constructs
When not to use it
Do NOT use this skill for:
- Creating a new Semgrep rule from scratch (use
semgrep-rule-creatorinstead) - Running existing rules against code
- Languages where the vulnerability pattern fundamentally doesn't apply
- Minor syntax variations within the same language
