+short_failure_message: Semgrep Pre-commit hook is not configured for the repository
+severity:
+  value: medium
+context: {}
+description: |
+  Verifies that Semgrep Pre-commit hook is configured via a GitHub action for the repository, and remediate
+guidance: |
+  Likewise, you can configure a hook to run a semgrep scan with the semgrep hook. As an example, the following configuration would scan the files to be committed with a specified config, skipping files with unknown extensions.
+  For more information, see the [Semgrep Pre-commit](https://semgrep.dev/docs/secure-guardrails/secure-guardrails-in-semgrep) documentation.
