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-creatorinstead) - 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:
- Existing Semgrep rule - YAML file path or YAML rule content
- 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.javSubscribers only
