Individual skill
sbom-generate
Generates a CycloneDX SBOM from source code with OWASP cdxgen, covering project-type selection across 30+ ecosystems, monorepo recursion, lifecycle phases, generation profiles, component filtering, and spec-version targeting. Use when asked to create an SBOM or BOM for a repository or directory, produce a dependency inventory, resolve licenses, or export SPDX from source. Also use when choosing cdxgen flags or paths for a scan, running cdxgen in CI or in secure mode, when cdxgen hangs or returns a thin or empty BOM, or when asked to add components or purls to a BOM by hand. Load it before writing any cdxgen command, even when the user only wants to see the command.

# Generate an SBOM from source
Use this skill for the common case: a user wants a CycloneDX SBOM for a
repository or directory. For containers and binaries use `container-sbom`; for
live hosts use `os-hardware-inventory`; to improve an SBOM that came back thin
use `sbom-fidelity-loop`.
These rules apply to every command this skill produces, including commands
that are only shown to the user. [reference/safety.md](../../reference/safety.md)
explains each one.
- Run `--dry-run --activity-report json` first, summarize what it would do, and
ask before the real run.
- Use absolute paths for the project and for `-o`.
