Generate SLSA level 3 build provenance for a GitHub Actions workflow using slsa-github-generator

Verified steps

  1. Use the `slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator` reusable workflows for your artifact type (e.g., Go binary, container image, or generic artifact)
  2. In your workflow, call the generator's reusable workflow via `uses: slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator/.github/workflows/generator_generic_slsa3.yml@<pinned-tag>` and pass the artifact's digest as input
  3. The generator workflow runs in an isolated, ephemeral environment, builds provenance, and signs it with Sigstore's Fulcio CA using the workflow's OIDC identity — no long-lived keys needed
  4. Upload both the artifact and the `.intoto.jsonl` provenance attestation file to your GitHub release assets or container registry
  5. Verify provenance with the `slsa-verifier` CLI: `slsa-verifier verify-artifact <artifact> --provenance-path <file> --source-uri github.com/YOUR_ORG/YOUR_REPO`
  6. Pin the generator workflow to a specific tagged version (not a branch) to prevent dependency confusion attacks on your supply chain
