semgrep-rule-variant-creator

Creates language variants of existing Semgrep rules. Use when porting a Semgrep rule to specified target languages. Takes an existing rule and target languages as input, produces independent rule+test directories for each language.

Semgrep Rule Variant Creator

Port existing Semgrep rules to new target languages with proper applicability analysis and test-driven validation.

When to Use

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

Do NOT use this skill for:

  • Creating a new Semgrep rule from scratch (use semgrep-rule-creator instead)
  • Running existing rules against code
  • Languages where the vulnerability pattern fundamentally doesn't apply
  • Minor syntax variations within the same language

Input Specification

This skill requires:

  1. Existing Semgrep rule - YAML file path or YAML rule content
  2. Target languages - One or more languages to port to (e.g., "Golang and Java")

Output Specification

For each applicable target language, produces:

<original-rule-id>-<language>/
├── <original-rule-id>-<language>.yaml     # Ported Semgrep rule
└── <original-rule-id>-<language>.<ext>    # Test file with annotations

Example output for porting sql-injection to Go and Java:

sql-injection-golang/
├── sql-injection-golang.yaml
└── sql-injection-golang.go

sql-injection-java/
├── sql-injection-java.yaml
└── sql-injection-java.jav
