+# SBOM & Vulnerability Scanning Automation
+
+This repository uses GitHub Actions to automatically generate a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), scan for vulnerabilities, and produce package inventory reports.
+
+All reports are named with the repository name for easy identification.
+
+## Features
+
+SBOM Generation: Uses Syft to generate an SPDX JSON SBOM.
+SBOM Merging: Merges SBOMs for multiple tools if needed.
+SBOM to CSV: Converts SBOM JSON to a CSV report.
+Vulnerability Scanning: Uses Grype to scan the SBOM for vulnerabilities and outputs a CSV report.
+Package Inventory: Extracts a simple package list (name, type, version) as a CSV.
+Artifacts: All reports are uploaded as workflow artifacts with the repository name in the filename.
+
+## Workflow Overview
+
+The main workflow is defined in .github/workflows/sbom.yml
+
+## Scripts
+
+scripts/create-sbom.sh
+Generates an SBOM for the repo and for specified tools, merging them as needed.
+scripts/update-sbom.py
+Merges additional SBOMs into the main SBOM.
+.github/scripts/sbom_json_to_csv.py
+Converts the SBOM JSON to a detailed CSV report.
+.github/scripts/grype_json_to_csv.py
+Converts Grype’s vulnerability scan JSON output to a CSV report.
+Output columns: REPO, NAME, INSTALLED, FIXED-IN, TYPE, VULNERABILITY, SEVERITY
+.github/scripts/sbom_packages_to_csv.py
+Extracts a simple package inventory from the SBOM.
+Output columns: name, type, version
+
+## Example Reports
