working-with-provenance	Use when tracing Konflux builds from image references, finding build logs from artifacts, or verifying source commits for container images - extracts provenance attestations to navigate from images back to builds and source code	Bash(cosign download:*), Bash(cosign verify:*), Bash(jq:*), Bash(~/.claude/skills/working-with-provenance/scripts/*:*)

Working with Provenance

Overview

Every Konflux build produces SLSA provenance attestations containing the complete build history: source repository, commit SHA, pipeline run URL, and build parameters. Use cosign download attestation with jq to extract this information and trace artifacts back to their origins.

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

• Find build logs for an image (missing SBOM, failed tasks, debugging)
• Trace an image back to its source commit (what changed, code review)
• Verify which repository and commit produced an artifact (security, compliance)
• Extract build parameters or pipeline information (reproduce builds, debug configuration)

Do NOT use for non-Konflux images (Docker Hub, upstream images without attestations).

Quick Reference

Helper Scripts

This skill includes ready-to-use bash scripts that you can invoke directly:

# Extract build log URL
~/.claude/skills/working-with-provenance/scripts/build-log-link.sh quay.io/org/image:tag

# Extract commit URL (handles GitHub and GitLab)
~/.claude/skills/working-with-provenance/scripts/build-commit-link.sh quay.io/org/image:tag

# Extract git repository URL
~/.claude/skills/working-with-provenance/scripts/build-git-repo.sh quay.io/org/image:tag

# Extract original pullspec with commit SHA
~/.claude/skills/working-with-provenance/scripts/build-origin-pullspec.sh quay.io/org/image:tag

Common Workflow

Investigating missing SBOM:

# 1. Get build log URL from provenance
LOG_URL=$(~/.claude/skills/working-with-provenance/scripts/build-log-link.sh quay.io/org/image:tag)

# 2. Open logs in browser or use debugging-pipeline-failures skill
echo $LOG_URL

Tracing code changes:

# 1. Get commit link from provenance
COMMIT=$(~/.claude/skills/working-with-provenance/scripts/build-commit-link.sh quay.io/org/image:tag)

# 2. View the commit
echo $COMMIT  # Opens in browser

# 3. Check recent history
git clone $(~/.claude/skills/working-with-provenance/scripts/build-git-repo.sh quay.io/org/image:tag)

Attestation Structure

Konflux provenance lives at:

.payload (base64-encoded)
  └─ .predicate
       ├─ .buildConfig.tasks[0].invocation.environment.annotations
       │    ├─ pipelinesascode.tekton.dev/log-url      (pipeline logs)
       │    ├─ pipelinesascode.tekton.dev/repo-url     (git repository)
       │    └─ pipelinesascode.tekton.dev/sha          (commit SHA)
       └─ .subject[0].name                              (image name)

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Fix
Trying to parse image tags for commit info	Tags can be arbitrary. Use provenance for definitive source.
Manual UI navigation to find logs	Use build-log-link.sh - faster and scriptable.
Assuming images without Konflux builds have provenance	Only Konflux-built images have SLSA attestations via Tekton Chains.
Forgetting to base64 decode payload	Always use .payload | @base64d | fromjson pattern.

Real-World Example

# User reports: "Build quay.io/redhat-user-workloads/konflux-ai-sig-tenant/llm-compressor-demo:7f9a553... missing SBOM"

# 1. Extract build log URL
$ ~/.claude/skills/working-with-provenance/scripts/build-log-link.sh quay.io/redhat-user-workloads/konflux-ai-sig-tenant/llm-compressor-demo:7f9a553dd100ba700fc8f9da942f8dfcecf6a1bd

# 2. Extract source commit
$ ~/.claude/skills/working-with-provenance/scripts/build-commit-link.sh quay.io/redhat-user-workloads/konflux-ai-sig-tenant/llm-compressor-demo:7f9a553dd100ba700fc8f9da942f8dfcecf6a1bd
