Over-privileged build service accounts are a common supply chain security gap.</li>\n<li>SLSA provenance combined with Binary Authorization is required for supply chain enforcement — provenance alone is insufficient.</li>\n<li>Artifact Registry is preferred over Container Registry (GCR) — confirm which registry is in use before making retention or region recommendations.</li>\n<li>Artifact Registry is regional, not global — latency to the build region matters for large images.</li>\n<li>Skaffold version must be compatible with the Cloud Deploy release version — mismatch causes silent rendering failures.</li>\n<li>Separate confirmed facts from inference. If state was not queried or shown, say so.</li>\n<li>Challenge broad IAM roles, public exposure, destructive automation, untested recovery, hidden cost, and vague production claims.</li>\n<li>Keep the answer scoped, reversible, least-privilege, and explicit about blockers or unknowns.</li>\n<li>Load references only when needed; do not pull all deep guidance into short answers.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>References</h2>\n<p>Load these only when needed:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"references/workflow-and-output.md\">Workflow and output contract</a> — use when executing the full review, pipeline audit, implementation guidance, or formatting the final answer.</li>\n<li><a href=\"references/official-sources.md\">Official sources</a> — use when grounding GCP CI/CD service behavior or checking the detailed source list.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Response minimum</h2>\n<p>Return, at minimum:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the scoped target and evidence level,</li>\n<li>the main risks or control gaps (especially service account permissions and supply chain),</li>\n<li>the safest next actions,</li>\n<li>validation or rollback notes where relevant,</li>\n<li>the assumptions or blockers that prevent stronger conclusions.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"metadata.json","sizeBytes":1183,"isText":true},{"path":"references/official-sources.md","sizeBytes":1061,"isText":true},{"path":"references/workflow-and-output.md","sizeBytes":2414,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":3126,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
