Container Security Scanner Skill
Purpose
Automated container image and Kubernetes security scanning to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, and compliance issues in containerized environments.
Capabilities
Image Vulnerability Scanning
- Scan container images for known CVEs using Trivy, Grype, or Anchore
- Detect vulnerabilities in OS packages and application dependencies
- Generate SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) in CycloneDX or SPDX format
- Track vulnerability severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
Dockerfile Security Analysis
- Check Dockerfile best practices and security issues
- Identify privileged container configurations
- Detect hardcoded secrets in Dockerfiles
- Verify base image security and freshness
Kubernetes Security Scanning
- Run Kubernetes CIS benchmark checks using kube-bench
- Analyze pod security policies and standards
- Check RBAC configurations for over-permissive access
- Detect insecure network policies
Secrets Detection
- Scan images for embedded secrets and credentials
- Identify API keys, tokens, and passwords in layers
- Check environment variable configurations
Image Signature Verification
- Verify container image signatures using cosign
- Validate image provenance and attestations
- Check image registry security configurations
Compliance Reporting
- Generate compliance reports (CIS, NIST, PCI-DSS)
- Map findings to compliance controls
- Track remediation status and timelines

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
