Software supply chain security reference for OpenSSF Scorecard, SLSA, Sigstore, SBOM, and posture/backlog taxonomies.
— the description by Microsoft

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides a structured collection of reference materials for evaluating software supply chain security. It includes industry-standard catalogs such as OpenSSF Scorecard, SLSA, Sigstore, and NTIA SBOM requirements. Beyond simple reference, it offers a framework for classifying security gaps by adoption effort, T-shirt sizing, and qualitative concern levels, enabling teams to translate audit findings into a prioritized backlog of actionable work items.

What it does

  • Provides reference catalogs for OpenSSF Scorecard, SLSA, Sigstore, and SBOM standards.
  • Maps repository posture against 27 combined supply chain capabilities.
  • Defines a taxonomy for classifying security gaps by implementation effort and risk.
  • Offers guidance on deriving work item priority from security risk levels.
  • Includes T-shirt sizing criteria for estimating remediation effort.
  • Provides a consolidated index of industry-standard security benchmarks.

When to use it

  • When performing a security audit of a software repository's supply chain.
  • When you need to map current repository practices against industry standards like SLSA or OpenSSF.
  • When you need to categorize security gaps to build a prioritized remediation backlog.
  • When you need to determine the effort required to implement specific security controls.

Advantages

  • Centralizes disparate security standards into a single, navigable reference set.
  • Standardizes the language used for gap analysis and risk assessment.
  • Facilitates objective prioritization of security tasks based on risk and effort.
  • Provides clear, actionable categories for implementing security improvements.

Usage examples

“How should I classify a gap in my repository's branch protection settings?”
The skill provides a classification for Platform Configuration, suggesting it is a standard setting change with specific effort sizing and concern level criteria.
“What is the priority for a high-risk Scorecard finding?”
The skill provides a mapping from risk levels to priority and execution order, helping you decide whether to address the finding immediately.

Supply Chain Security

This skill packages the durable software supply chain security (SSSC) reference material: open-standard catalogs, the combined capabilities inventory, and the classification taxonomies used to assess a repository's posture and turn gaps into prioritized work items.

When to use

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Assess a repository against the 27 combined supply chain capabilities from hve-core and physical-ai-toolchain.

  • Map posture against OpenSSF Scorecard, SLSA v1.2 (Build track unchanged since v1.0), OpenSSF Best Practices Badge, Sigstore (cosign), or NTIA SBOM minimum elements.

  • Classify a gap by adoption category, effort size, or qualitative concern level.

  • Derive work item priority and execution order from Scorecard risk levels.
