JFrog Patterns

A guide to recommended ways of designing and setting up the JFrog Platform, a system for storing, securing, and delivering software packages. It covers 22 patterns across continuous integration, repositories, security, releases, multiple sites, and AppTrust.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select a JFrog architecture or workflow for goals such as integrating builds, organizing repositories, securing the software supply chain, managing releases, or connecting multiple sites.
Why use it?
It helps choose a suitable platform setup by explaining the problem, architecture, difficulty, and items a setup wizard creates. It does not directly call JFrog APIs.

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

JFrog Patterns 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 2d 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.

JFrog Patterns Skill

Authentication

This skill does not call JFrog APIs directly. Use the product skills (jfrog-artifactory, jfrog-access, jfrog-security, jfrog-distribution, jfrog-curation, jfrog-workers) for authentication and API/CLI usage when implementing a pattern.

What Are Patterns?

Patterns are recommended architectural setups for the JFrog Platform. Each pattern describes:

  • What problem it solves and the architecture
  • JFrog concepts involved (repos, policies, builds, etc.)
  • Difficulty level (SIMPLE -> INTERMEDIATE -> ADVANCED)
  • What gets created when the setup wizard runs (repos, policies, watches, projects)
  • Which skills to use for API/CLI implementation

Pattern Catalog (22 patterns in 6 categories)

Category Patterns Levels
CI Integration 4 patterns SIMPLE to ADVANCED
Repositories 3 patterns SIMPLE to ADVANCED
Supply Chain Security 4 patterns INTERMEDIATE to ADVANCED
Release Lifecycle 4 patterns SIMPLE to ADVANCED
Multi-Site Architecture 5 patterns All ADVANCED
AppTrust 2 patterns Both SIMPLE

Which Pattern Should I Use?

Use the 5 user journeys to pick the right patterns. See journeys.md for the full guide.

If your goal is... Start with...
Centralize artifacts and automate CI/CD CI Integration + Basic Repo Setup
Secure the software supply chain Xray Security + Curation Security
Accelerate developer productivity CI Integration + Curation + Contextual Analysis
Handle enterprise-scale multi-site Multi-Site Active/Active or Active/Standby
Govern releases with compliance Release Lifecycle + Evidence + AppTrust

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

JFrog Patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository jfrog/ai-agent-examples (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 2,030 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
