Comprehensive guide for setting up and configuring CodeQL code scanning via GitHub Actions workflows and the CodeQL CLI. This skill should be used when users need help with code scanning configuration, CodeQL workflow files, CodeQL CLI commands, SARIF output, security analysis setup, or troubleshooting CodeQL analysis.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# CodeQL Code Scanning This skill provides procedural guidance for configuring and running CodeQL code scanning — both through GitHub Actions workflows and the standalone CodeQL CLI. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when the request involves: - Creating or customizing a `codeql.yml` GitHub Actions workflow - Choosing between default setup and advanced setup for code scanning - Configuring CodeQL language matrix, build modes, or query suites - Running CodeQL CLI locally (`codeql database create`, `database analyze`, `github upload-results`) - Understanding or interpreting SARIF output from CodeQL - Troubleshooting CodeQL analysis failures (build modes, compiled languages, runner requirements) - Setting up CodeQL for monorepos with per-component scanning - Configuring dependency caching, custom query packs, or model packs ## Supported Languages CodeQL supports the following language identifiers: | Language | Identifier | Alternatives | |---|---|---| | C/C++ | `c-cpp` | `c`, `cpp` | | C# | `csharp` | — | | Go | `go` | — | | Java/Kotlin | `java-kotlin` | `java`, `kotlin` | | JavaScript/TypeScript | `javascript-typescript` | `javascript`, `typescript` | …

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/codeql@sha256:81503394c7c05957The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260318.f601edc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
