I would eventually want to create a set of suites per level, but i see another PR that is in the middle of refactoring suites for CertC #880 ex: - description: CERT C 2016 Level 1 Rules (Priority 12 - Priority 27)
- qlpack: codeql/cert-c-coding-standards
- include:
kind:
- problem
- path-problem
tags contain:
- external/cert/level/l1 |

Looks like i have some work to do to automate the generation here 🫤 Was not aware this was a thing https://github.com/github/codeql-coding-standards/actions/runs/14768736793/job/41465018586?pr=895 |

Shutting down this PR 💟 Also this work led to creating a few suites for a quick help - with the

Release change checklist
A change note (development_handbook.md#change-notes) is required for any pull request which modifies:
If you are only adding new rule queries, a change note is not required.
Author: Is a change note required?
🚨🚨🚨
Reviewer: Confirm that format of shared queries (not the .qll file, the
.ql file that imports it) is valid by running them within VS Code.
Reviewer: Confirm that either a change note is not required or the change note is required and has been added.
Query development review checklist
For PRs that add new queries or modify existing queries, the following checklist should be completed by both the author and reviewer:
Author
As a rule of thumb, predicates specific to the query should take no more than 1 minute, and for simple queries be under 10 seconds. If this is not the case, this should be highlighted and agreed in the code review process.
