testland/syft-generation
Generates, scans, and diffs Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) with the Anchore stack - Syft generation from container images / directories / archives across OCI / Docker / Singularity formats (output CycloneDX-JSON / SPDX-JSON / Syft-JSON / table / GitHub-JSON, cosign attestation); the paired generate + scan workflow with Grype (`grype sbom:./sbom.json`, `--fail-on high`, `--only-fixed`, `.grype.yaml` ignore rules with mandatory `expires:`, EPSS/KEV prioritization); and SBOM-to-SBOM diffing via `cyclonedx diff --component-versions` to gate CI on net-new components and detect supply-chain drift between builds. Use when the team needs SBOM artifacts for compliance (US EO 14028, EU CRA, FDA medical-device guidance), SBOM-driven vulnerability scanning, or dependency-drift detection between releases.

Security
1 medium severity finding. This skill can be installed but you should review these findings before use.
W013: Attempt to modify system services in skill instructions.
What this means
The skill prompts the agent to compromise the security or integrity of the user’s machine by modifying system-level services or configurations, such as obtaining elevated privileges, altering startup scripts, or changing system-wide settings.
Why it was flagged
The skill instructs running piped install scripts with sudo (e.g., "curl ... | sudo sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin"), which requests elevated privileges and modifies system-wide locations ( /usr/local/bin ), thus pushing the agent to change the host's state.
Low
Low-risk findings.
1 low severity finding. Worth noting, but not necessarily harmful.
W012: Unverifiable external dependency detected (runtime URL that controls agent).
What this means
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
Why it was flagged
The SKILL.md contains install commands that pipe remote install scripts to a shell (curl -sSfL https://get.anchore.io/syft | sudo sh ...) and (curl -sSfL https://get.anchore.io/grype | sudo sh ...), which fetch and execute remote code at install/runtime.
Where we found it
