It is used to initialize attestations, add evidence such as SBOMs or vulnerability reports, sign metadata, and push it into Chainloop for validation and storage. ### Project history Chainloop was introduced on May 22, 2023 as an API for an organization's software supply chain, built around a SLSA level 3 provenance-compliant control plane and a contract-based attestation process. The README describes Chainloop as an open-source evidence store for attestations, SBOMs, VEX, SARIF, QA reports, and related software-delivery evidence. ### Adoption history The official README and docs emphasize use across CI/CD pipelines, with developers using the CLI while security and compliance teams define workflow contracts, policies, storage, and integrations. Chainloop documentation and changelogs show the platform expanding from attestation capture into policies, compliance frameworks, vulnerability management, integrations, AI coding-session evidence, and enterprise platform features. ### How it is used The quickstart guides users through installing the CLI, logging in, initializing an attestation, adding a container image, SBOM, and vulnerability report, then pushing the signed attestation. The CLI reference documents commands for applying YAML resources, uploading/downloading artifacts, creating attestations, and passing configuration through ~/.config/chainloop/config.toml or environment variables such as CHAINLOOP_TOKEN. ### Why package nerds care Package nerds care about chainloop-cli because it is a modern supply-chain CLI that wraps several packaging-era concerns: SBOMs, provenance, signatures, OCI storage, SLSA, in-toto, Sigstore, policy-as-code, and CI/CD evidence capture. Homebrew packaging gives developers a local install path for a tool meant to be embedded in automated delivery pipelines. ### Timeline - 2023: Chainloop was introduced publicly as an early-access software supply-chain attestation platform. - 2024: Chainloop changelogs added contract-less attestations, material auto-discovery, broader evidence types, policies, and Prometheus-oriented monitoring. - 2026: Documentation presents Chainloop as a centralized evidence store with real-time visibility, automated compliance, policy evaluation, and CLI-driven attestation workflows. ### Related projects - Chainloop is built around or integrates with SLSA, in-toto, Sigstore, OCI registries, OPA/Rego policies, Dependency-Track, GUAC, CycloneDX, SPDX, OpenVEX, SARIF, CSAF, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Kubernetes/Helm deployment paths. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for chainloop-cli.
