create-sbom

create-sbom is a skill for Claude Code from harness/harness-skills. It costs 177 tokens per session (6,016 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup guide that adds an SBOM, or Software Bill of Materials, step to an existing Harness pipeline. An SBOM is a list of the software components and dependencies inside a container image or code repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add SBOM generation to an existing CI, deployment, or security stage. It supports container images and repositories from sources such as Docker, ECR, GCR, GAR, ACR, Harness AR, and local workspaces.
Why use it?
It helps teams record what their software contains for security and supply-chain checks. It guides the required pipeline choices instead of requiring users to assemble the YAML alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

create-sbom scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Create SBOM

Add an SBOM Orchestration (SscaOrchestration) step to an existing Harness pipeline for a container image or code repository. This skill only works with existing pipelines — do not create standalone SBOM pipelines.

Supported stages: SBOM Orchestration runs in CI, CD (Deployment), and Security (Security) stages. Show stage type in Phase 2 and offer placement options that match the stage type (see references/interactive-wizard-flow.md).

Guide the user through a step-by-step interactive wizard (same UX as /configure-repo-scan): one decision per turn, recommended options marked, pipeline structure shown after fetch, then confirm before harness_update.

  • Wizard scripts: references/interactive-wizard-flow.md
  • UI ↔ YAML mapping: references/sbom-orchestration-step.md
  • CD containerized step groups: references/cd-containerized-step-group.md

Interaction model (mandatory)

Follow this UX for every invocation. Do not dump all Pipeline Studio fields in one message.

  1. One question per turn — use the AskQuestion tool when available. If unavailable, use a numbered option list with (Recommended) on the default choice (same pattern as container scan).
  2. Opening message — briefly state the goal: add SBOM Orchestration to an existing pipeline.
  3. Progress breadcrumb — after pipeline fetch, show on each wizard turn: Pipeline · Placement · Method · Source · Details · Attestation · Submit
  4. Record answers — keep a running summary of choices; do not re-ask unless the user changes direction.
  5. Fetch before configure — harness_get (URL or id) before placement/source questions.
  6. Show pipeline structure — list stages and steps (Phase 2) before asking placement.
  7. Infer, don’t assume — suggest connector/source from YAML; skip connector question if unambiguous.
  8. Never guess image tags — always ask for image or repo+branch in Phase 8.
  9. Confirm before write — Phase 10 summary + harness_update only after user confirms.
  10. Stop after update — after successful harness_update, provide a configuration summary and point the user to /run-pipeline to execute. Do not call harness_execute, poll executions, or run harness_diagnose in this skill (same pattern as /configure-repo-scan).
  11. “Defaults” shortcut — apply recommended wizard choices (see reference) but still ask for image/repo.
  12. Phase 3 Placement is never optional — always run Phase 2 (structure) then Phase 3 (AskQuestion for stage + position) before method/source/attestation, even when:
    • The pipeline has only one CI stage
    • An SscaOrchestration step already exists in CI
    • The user said “add SBOM to the pipeline” without naming a stage
    • A prior chat configured the same pipeline (do not reuse that to skip Placement)
  13. Never assume pipeline or stage from session history — confirm pipeline URL/ID in Phase 0/1 unless the user pasted it in the current message. Prior workspace context may inform suggestions, not replace the wizard.
  14. CD is a different placement path — if the user chooses a Deployment stage (or asks for CD), follow references/cd-containerized-step-group.md end to end (step group, <+artifact.image>, infra). Do not place CD SBOM under execution.steps at the stage top level.
  15. CI-only pipeline + CD SBOM — if Phase 2 shows no Deployment stage and the user wants CD, run the CD prerequisites sub-flow (service, environment, infrastructure, K8s connector for stepGroupInfra) before harness_update. See CD edge case below.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
