SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured, multi-agent framework to conduct open-source software forensics, enabling robust evidence gathering, hypothesis formation, and incident reporting for supply-chain investigations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end investigation workflow: local git analysis, GitHub API review, Wayback Machine archiving, GH Archive data, IOC enrichment, evidence store, and final reporting.
  • Cross-source validation and hypothesis testing with auditable traceability to evidence artifacts.
  • Reusable templates and reports to standardize security investigations across OSS projects.

Quick Start

Create a new investigation workspace for your target repo and seed the evidence store, then begin Phase 0 initialization.

FAQPage Schema
How do I investigate an open-source supply-chain security incident on GitHub?

Investigate open-source supply-chain security incidents by using a structured, multi-agent forensics workflow that handles evidence collection, cross-source validation, and final reporting for GitHub-hosted repositories.

What is the best way to collect and validate evidence during an OSS repository investigation?

The best way to collect evidence during an OSS repository investigation is through cross-source validation using local git analysis, GitHub API data, Wayback Machine archives, and BigQuery, all stored in an auditable evidence store.

Can I generate a standardized forensic report for supply-chain investigations?

Yes, you can generate a standardized forensic report for supply-chain investigations using the built-in report template, which provides auditable traceability linking your hypotheses directly to collected evidence artifacts.

Does this forensics workflow support analyzing historical repository data from GH Archive?

Yes, the forensics workflow supports analyzing historical repository data by integrating GH Archive and BigQuery data sources to enrich your incident investigation and validate evidence across multiple platforms.

What data sources do I need to start an open-source software forensics investigation?

To start an open-source software forensics investigation, you need access to the target GitHub repository and local git analysis tools, enabling Phase 0 initialization to seed the evidence store.

When should I use a structured forensics workflow for an open-source repository?

Use a structured forensics workflow for open-source repositories when investigating supply-chain incidents that require safety guardrails, hypothesis generation, and IOC enrichment to produce a traceable, auditable incident report.
