npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill agent-supply-chain
Verify supply chain integrity for AI agent plugins, tools, and dependencies. Use this skill when: - Generating SHA-256 integrity manifests for agent plugins or tool packages - Verifying that installed plugins match their published manifests - Detecting tampered, modified, or untracked files in agent tool directories - Auditing dependency pinning and version policies for agent components - Building provenance chains for agent plugin promotion (dev → staging → production) - Any request like "verify plugin integrity", "generate manifest", "check supply chain", or "sign this plugin"
Generate and verify integrity manifests for AI agent plugins and tools. Detect tampering, enforce version pinning, and establish supply chain provenance.
Agent plugins and MCP servers have the same supply chain risks as npm packages or container images — except the ecosystem has no equivalent of npm provenance, Sigstore, or SLSA. This skill fills that gap.
Create a deterministic INTEGRITY.json with SHA-256 hashes of all plugin files.
Output (INTEGRITY.json):
Check that current files match the manifest.
Output on tampered plugin:
Check that agent dependencies use pinned versions.
Use integrity verification as a gate before promoting plugins.
Add to your GitHub Actions workflow:
| Practice | Rationale |
|---|---|
| Generate manifest after code review | Ensures reviewed code matches production code |
| Include manifest in the PR | Reviewers can verify what was hashed |
| Verify in CI before deploy | Catches post-review modifications |
| Chain hash for tamper evidence | Single hash represents entire plugin state |
| Exclude build artifacts | Only hash source files — .git, pycache, node_modules excluded |
| Pin all dependency versions | Unpinned deps = different code on every install |
