BC implementing-supply-chain-security-with-in-toto
Implements supply chain integrity verification for container builds with the in-toto framework: generating signing keys, defining a supply chain layout, recording pipeline steps as signed link metadata, verifying before deployment, enforcing at Kubernetes admission, and integrating with SLSA. Use when attesting CI/CD pipeline steps, proving an image followed the approved build process, or enforcing provenance at admission. Keywords: in-toto, layout, link metadata, step, inspection, SLSA, provenance, admission. Do not use for signing and verifying images with Cosign - use implementing-image-provenance-verification-with-cosign.

As a process C 55/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, failures and branches, running it twice
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 55/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 9 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 26 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2269 tokens
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- -43 reference files, but SKILL.md never points to them: the model will not open them
- -32 of 2 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
- +2Single-language instructions
- +4Description says when NOT to use the skill
- +3Description length 633: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 16 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 26 items
- +4Has examples (6 code blocks)
- +1License stated
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 79.
