What it does

Implementing Aqua Security For Container Scanning is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Deploy Aqua Security's Trivy scanner to detect vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, and license issues in container images across CI/CD pipelines and registries.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/template.md`, `references/api-reference.md` and `references/standards.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD, Containers and Vulnerability scanning. It works with Trivy and Kubernetes. The repository describes itself as: 817 structured cybersecurity skills for AI agents · Mapped to 6 frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF & MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud) · agentskills.io…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve CI/CD
  • Tasks that involve Containers
  • Tasks that involve Vulnerability scanning

Example prompts

  • “/implementing-aqua-security-for-container-scanning”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • trivy
    • helm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • aquasecurity.github.io
    • github.com

    Also links to:

    • aquasec.com
    • cyclonedx.org

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Implementing Aqua Security For Container Scanning loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 344 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Implementing Aqua Security for Container Scanning

Overview

Aqua Security provides Trivy, the world's most popular open-source universal security scanner, designed to find vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, SBOM data, and license issues in containers, Kubernetes, code repositories, and cloud environments. Trivy covers OS packages (Alpine, Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, etc.) and language-specific dependencies (npm, pip, Maven, Go modules, Cargo, etc.) with vulnerability databases sourced from NVD, vendor advisories, and GitHub Security Advisories. The enterprise Aqua Platform extends Trivy with centralized policy management, runtime protection, and compliance reporting.

When to Use

  • When deploying or configuring implementing aqua security for container scanning capabilities in your environment
  • When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
  • When building or improving security architecture for this domain
  • When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

  • Docker installed for local image scanning
  • CI/CD platform (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.)
  • Container registry access (Docker Hub, ECR, GCR, ACR, Harbor)
  • Trivy CLI (trivy) or Trivy Operator for Kubernetes
  • Aqua Platform license for enterprise features (optional)

Core Scanning Capabilities

Image Vulnerability Scanning

Trivy scans container images layer by layer, identifying CVEs in OS packages and application dependencies. It supports scanning local images, remote registry images, and tar archives.

bash
# Scan a remote image
trivy image python:3.11-slim

# Scan with severity filter
trivy image --severity HIGH,CRITICAL nginx:latest

# Scan and fail CI if critical CVEs found
trivy image --exit-code 1 --severity CRITICAL myapp:latest

# Generate SBOM in CycloneDX format
trivy image --format cyclonedx --output sbom.json myapp:latest
Filesystem and Repository Scanning
bash
# Scan project directory for vulnerabilities in dependencies
trivy fs --scanners vuln,secret,misconfig .

# Scan a specific lockfile
trivy fs --scanners vuln package-lock.json

# Scan git repository
trivy repo https://github.com/org/project
Kubernetes Scanning with Trivy Operator

The Trivy Operator runs inside a Kubernetes cluster and continuously scans workloads:

bash
# Install Trivy Operator via Helm
helm repo add aqua https://aquasecurity.github.io/helm-charts/
helm repo update
helm install trivy-operator aqua/trivy-operator \
  --namespace trivy-system \
  --create-namespace \
  --set trivy.severity="HIGH,CRITICAL" \
  --set operator.scanJobTimeout="5m"

The operator creates VulnerabilityReport and ConfigAuditReport custom resources for each workload.

IaC Misconfiguration Scanning
bash
# Scan Terraform files
trivy config --severity HIGH,CRITICAL ./terraform/

# Scan Dockerfile for misconfigurations
trivy config Dockerfile

# Scan Kubernetes manifests
trivy config ./k8s-manifests/

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Policy Configuration

Trivy Policy with OPA/Rego

Create .trivy/policy.rego for custom policy enforcement:

rego
package trivy

deny[msg] {
    input.Results[_].Vulnerabilities[_].Severity == "CRITICAL"
    msg := "Critical vulnerabilities found in image"
}

deny[msg] {
    input.Results[_].Vulnerabilities[vuln]
    vuln.FixedVersion != ""
    vuln.Severity == "HIGH"
    msg := sprintf("Fixable HIGH vulnerability: %s", [vuln.VulnerabilityID])
}
Ignore File Configuration

Create .trivyignore for accepted risks:

# Accepted risk: vulnerability in test dependency only
CVE-2023-12345

# Accepted until expiry date
CVE-2024-67890 exp:2025-06-01

SBOM Generation and Management

bash
# Generate CycloneDX SBOM
trivy image --format cyclonedx --output sbom-cyclonedx.json myapp:latest

# Generate SPDX SBOM
trivy image --format spdx-json --output sbom-spdx.json myapp:latest

# Scan an existing SBOM for new vulnerabilities
trivy sbom sbom-cyclonedx.json
