High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I investigate a suspicious package for a supply chain compromise?

You can investigate a supply chain compromise by analyzing package metadata and release artifacts, freezing evidence with the package-freeze.py script, and following a structured workflow to document and mitigate the compromise.

What is evidence freezing in software package security investigations?

Evidence freezing in package security creates a durable manifest of package metadata and release assets, preserving the exact state of suspicious artifacts for structured analysis and later review.

Do I need Python to detect supply chain compromises in dependencies?

Yes, you need Python installed because the skill requires the package-freeze.py script for evidence freezing and executing the structured analysis workflow to detect supply chain compromises in dependencies.

When should I use a structured analysis workflow for compromise detection?

You should use a structured analysis workflow for compromise detection when a suspicious package or release artifact is identified and you need to systematically investigate and document potential supply chain compromises.

What's the best way to document release artifact metadata during a security investigation?

The best way to document release artifact metadata is to use the evidence freezing feature, which creates a durable manifest of package metadata and release assets to preserve the exact state for investigation.
