From the source SKILL.md
Proactive, behavioural-first defense against the 2026 software supply chain threat: self-propagating worms (Shai-Hulud / Mini Shai-Hulud) that poison popular npm and PyPI packages, steal credentials, republish from stolen tokens, and inject persistence hooks into Claude Code and VS Code settings specifically.
What this skill does
Supply Chain Defense is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the malware-analysis sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/supply-chain-defense/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

What does the Supply Chain Defense skill do?
Behavioural-first software supply chain defense - catches poisoned npm/PyPI packages in the publish-to-advisory window that CVE tools miss. Use BEFORE every install or version bump (not only when an attack is suspected) - the 7-day cooldown gate + behavioural score catches freshly-published malware that CVE tools won't see for days. Socket.dev integration (free CLI + GitHub app + depscore MCP for Claude Code), stale-OIDC audit, dependency cooldown policy, publish-token rotation, VS Code extension audit, and a self-integrity scan that detects worm persistence hooks injected into Claude Code / VS Code settings.
