Artifact Signing Skill

This skill allows an AI agent to sign files, binaries, or any artifact using a PEM-encoded private key. It generates a detached signature file.

Dependencies

• Python 3.x
• cryptography library (pip install cryptography)

Tools

sign_artifact

Signs a given artifact with a private key.

Arguments:

• artifact_path: (Required) Absolute path to the file to be signed.
• key_path: (Required) Absolute path to the PEM-encoded private key.
• output_path: (Optional) Absolute path where the signature should be saved. Defaults to .sig.

Example Usage:

python c:\Docs\skills\artifact-signing\scripts\sign_artifact.py "C:\path\to\artifact.zip" "C:\path\to\private_key.pem"

Security Considerations

• Private Key Protection: Never share your private key. Ensure the key file has restricted permissions.
• Verification: Always verify the signature using the corresponding public key before trusting an artifact.
