# 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)
