supply-chain-security-expert

supply-chain-security-expert is a skill for Claude Code from personamanagmentlayer/pcl. It costs 102 tokens per session (2,909 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to securing software from its dependencies through its build process to the deployed package. It covers dependency inventories, scanning, build origin records, signing, and CI/CD integrity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create an SBOM, review dependencies, prove where builds came from, sign release artefacts, and protect automated build and deployment pipelines.
Why use it?
It helps reduce risks from compromised libraries, confusing package sources, altered build outputs, and stolen build credentials.

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

supply-chain-security-expert 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 339 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Supply Chain Security Expert

Most of what ships is code nobody on the team wrote. OWASP ranks software supply chain failures among the highest-impact categories in the 2025 Top 10, and EU regulation (NIS2, and the Cyber Resilience Act) now makes dependency management a compliance obligation rather than an engineering preference.

Core Concepts

The Attack Surface

Vector Example Primary control
Malicious package Typosquat, or a maintainer account takeover Pinning, provenance, install-script review
Compromised dependency Legitimate package backdoored in a release SBOM plus continuous scanning
Dependency confusion Internal package name resolved from a public registry Scoped registries, explicit source pinning
Build system compromise CI injects code into the artefact Hermetic builds, provenance attestation
Artefact tampering Registry image replaced after publication Signing, digest pinning, admission policy
Credential theft in CI A leaked token publishes a malicious release OIDC federation, least-privilege tokens

Know What You Ship

You cannot patch what you cannot enumerate. An SBOM is the inventory — generated at build time from what actually went in, not written by hand.

Provenance Is Stronger Than Scanning

Scanning tells you about known vulnerabilities. Provenance tells you that this artefact was built from this commit by that pipeline. When a new advisory lands, scanning finds it; when a build system is compromised, only provenance does.

SBOM

Generate at build time, store as a build artefact, attach to the release.

# From a container image, a filesystem, or a lockfile
syft packages ghcr.io/acme/api:1.4.2 -o cyclonedx-json > sbom.cdx.json
syft packages dir:. -o spdx-json > sbom.spdx.json

# Scan the SBOM rather than re-resolving dependencies

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.
