Overview

Embed C2PA provenance manifests in AI-generated assets — the machine-readable AI disclosure EU AI Act Article 50 expects (enforceable since 2 Aug 2026), plus the human-approval record for the Article 50(4) exemption. Triggers on \"/c2pa-sign\", \"sign this asset\", \"provenance\", \"content credentials\", \"AI disclosure\", \"Article 50\", \"is this compliant to publish\", or before any AI-generated asset ships. Pass --reviewed-by and --model-id so the manifest records who approved it and what made it.

/socialforge:c2pa-sign — Embed Content Authenticity Provenance

Purpose

Context efficiency

Asset-heavy skill. Grep before Read the asset catalog (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/socialforge/brands/<brand>/asset-index.json) — never list the asset directory. Reference generated images / videos by path, not by loading metadata. Brand profile loads once per session.

Wraps scripts/c2pa_sign.py to add a C2PA manifest to any SocialForge-generated marketing asset. The manifest carries:

Machine-readable provenance trail (brand, generator name, timestamp, prompt, target platform)
IPTC digital-source-type vocabulary tag (TRAINED_ALGORITHMIC_MEDIA / COMPOSITE_WITH_TRAINED_ALGORITHMIC_MEDIA / HUMAN_EDITS)
schema.org CreativeWork assertion (author = brand organization, dateCreated, publishingPrinciples = target platform)

Why this matters: EU AI Act Article 50 applies from 2 August 2026. Generative-AI marketing content distributed in EU markets must be marked in a machine-readable format using open, interoperable standards — C2PA is the emerging backbone. Penalty: up to €15 million or 3% global annual turnover. Additional disclosure obligations apply under NY synthetic-performer law (effective June 2026) and FTC May 2026 endorsement guidance.

The resulting asset is verifiable at contentcredentials.org/verify or in any C2PA-aware viewer (Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Truepic, Microsoft Copilot, etc.).

C2PA spec versions relevant to SocialForge (June 2026)

Content Credentials 2.3 (released 9 February 2026 — launch post) added support for live video (broadcast/streaming), plain text documents, OGG Vorbis audio, large AVI video files, and EXIF Original Preservation Images. Relevant to SocialForge because:
- Live video signing matters if you're producing Reels / TikTok / Shorts streaming content alongside the planned monthly batch.
- EXIF Original Preservation Image format is the cleanest path for signing product photography that the brand wants to preserve through ad ops cropping.
C2PA Spec 2.4 (April 2026 — spec.c2pa.org/specifications/specifications/2.4) introduces the AI Disclosure Assertion (c2pa.ai-disclosure) — machine-readable AI transparency info that the EU AI Act Article 50 deployer pathway will read. When c2pa_sign.py is on a C2PA SDK ≥ 0.36 that handles 2.4, include this assertion alongside the existing IPTC + schema.org tags. The combination is what the EU Code of Practice WG1/WG2 drafts reference as the canonical machine-readable mark.
C2PA Trust List is now handled via the public C2PA Conformance Program — production signing certificates should come from a Conformance-Program-listed CA.

For the regulatory context (EU Article 50, the voluntary Code of Practice, the provider-vs-deployer obligations split, and where SocialForge falls), see references/eu-ai-act-article50.md in this plugin.

When SocialForge invokes this automatically

If a brand profile sets c2pa_auto_sign: true, the image and video generation pipelines call this script as a post-generation step before delivering the asset. The signed file replaces the unsigned one — original output path is preserved.

If the brand profile does NOT set c2pa_auto_sign: true, generated assets are unsigned by default. You can sign on demand by invoking this skill explicitly.

Quick examples

# Sign an image generated by Vertex AI for Instagram
/socialforge:c2pa-sign \
    --input assets/q3-launch-hero.png \
    --output assets/signed/q3-launch-hero.png \
    --brand "Acme Corp" \
    --generator "Vertex AI Nano Banana Pro" \
    --ai-claim ai-generated-content \
    --platform instagram

# Sign a video generated by Kling for TikTok
/socialforge:c2pa-sign \
    --input campaigns/launch.mp4 \
    --output campaigns/signed/launch.mp4 \
    --brand "Acme Corp" \
    --generator "WaveSpeed Kling v3.0 Pro" \
    --ai-claim ai-generated-content \
    --platform tiktok

# Production sign with a real C2PA certificate
/socialforge:c2pa-sign \
    --input assets/q3-launch-hero.png \
    --output assets/signed/q3-launch-hero.png \
    --brand "Acme Corp" \
    --generator "Vertex AI Nano Banana Pro" \
    --ai-claim ai-generated-content \
    --platform instagram \
    --signing-cert /secure/c2pa-prod-cert.pem \
    --signing-key /secure/c2pa-prod-key.pem

AI claim values (IPTC digital source type)

Value	When to use
`ai-generated-content`	Asset fully generated by AI (default for SocialForge image/video output)
`ai-assisted-edits`	Human-created asset with AI editing (e.g. brand-watermarked stock photo + AI background replacement)
`ai-no-substantive-changes`	AI used but no semantic change (e.g. AI upscaling, AI noise reduction)

Supported asset formats

Image: .png · .jpg/.jpeg · .webp · .gif · .tiff Video: .mp4 · .mov · .webm Audio: .mp3 · .wav

Signing certificate

Production C2PA signatures require a certificate from a CAI-recognized signing authority (Adobe, Truepic, Numbers Protocol, Microsoft Azure Confidential Ledger). Pass --signing-cert and --signing-key for production. If omitted, the script generates a self-signed 90-day dev certificate — assets sign successfully but verify as "signature present, signer not in trust list" at contentcredentials.org/verify. Do not ship dev-cert-signed assets to production.

For production deployment:

Obtain a C2PA-compatible signing certificate from a CAI-recognized authority
Store cert + key securely (not in git; use environment variables or a secret store)
Either pass paths on every invocation OR set c2pa_signing_cert_path and c2pa_signing_key_path in brand profile so the auto-sign hook picks them up

Reference: opensource.contentauthenticity.org/docs/manifest/signing-manifests/

Python dependencies

c2pa-python>=0.32.6 — auto-installed on first run
cryptography — only required for the dev self-signed cert path; auto-installed if missing

These are part of SocialForge's full install. The script auto-installs them via pip install --quiet on first invocation if not present.

Interoperability

This skill is intentionally self-contained — signing requires nothing beyond this plugin. Manifests follow the open C2PA spec (same manifest schema, same IPTC vocabulary), so any standards-compliant C2PA tool verifies a SocialForge-signed asset identically, and assets signed elsewhere verify here.

scripts/c2pa_sign.py — the underlying implementation
scripts/generate_image.py — calls c2pa_sign.py as a post-step when brand profile has c2pa_auto_sign: true
scripts/video_postprocess.py — same auto-sign hook for video output

/socialforge:c2pa-sign — Embed Content Authenticity Provenance

Purpose

Context efficiency

Wraps scripts/c2pa_sign.py to add a C2PA manifest to any SocialForge-generated marketing asset. The manifest carries:

Machine-readable provenance trail (brand, generator name, timestamp, prompt, target platform)
IPTC digital-source-type vocabulary tag (TRAINED_ALGORITHMIC_MEDIA / COMPOSITE_WITH_TRAINED_ALGORITHMIC_MEDIA / HUMAN_EDITS)
schema.org CreativeWork assertion (author = brand organization, dateCreated, publishingPrinciples = target platform)

The resulting asset is verifiable at contentcredentials.org/verify or in any C2PA-aware viewer (Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Truepic, Microsoft Copilot, etc.).

C2PA spec versions relevant to SocialForge (June 2026)

Content Credentials 2.3 (released 9 February 2026 — launch post) added support for live video (broadcast/streaming), plain text documents, OGG Vorbis audio, large AVI video files, and EXIF Original Preservation Images. Relevant to SocialForge because:
- Live video signing matters if you're producing Reels / TikTok / Shorts streaming content alongside the planned monthly batch.
- EXIF Original Preservation Image format is the cleanest path for signing product photography that the brand wants to preserve through ad ops cropping.
C2PA Spec 2.4 (April 2026 — spec.c2pa.org/specifications/specifications/2.4) introduces the AI Disclosure Assertion (c2pa.ai-disclosure) — machine-readable AI transparency info that the EU AI Act Article 50 deployer pathway will read. When c2pa_sign.py is on a C2PA SDK ≥ 0.36 that handles 2.4, include this assertion alongside the existing IPTC + schema.org tags. The combination is what the EU Code of Practice WG1/WG2 drafts reference as the canonical machine-readable mark.
C2PA Trust List is now handled via the public C2PA Conformance Program — production signing certificates should come from a Conformance-Program-listed CA.

When SocialForge invokes this automatically

If the brand profile does NOT set c2pa_auto_sign: true, generated assets are unsigned by default. You can sign on demand by invoking this skill explicitly.

Quick examples

# Sign an image generated by Vertex AI for Instagram
/socialforge:c2pa-sign \
    --input assets/q3-launch-hero.png \
    --output assets/signed/q3-launch-hero.png \
    --brand "Acme Corp" \
    --generator "Vertex AI Nano Banana Pro" \
    --ai-claim ai-generated-content \
    --platform instagram

# Sign a video generated by Kling for TikTok
/socialforge:c2pa-sign \
    --input campaigns/launch.mp4 \
    --output campaigns/signed/launch.mp4 \
    --brand "Acme Corp" \
    --generator "WaveSpeed Kling v3.0 Pro" \
    --ai-claim ai-generated-content \
    --platform tiktok

# Production sign with a real C2PA certificate
/socialforge:c2pa-sign \
    --input assets/q3-launch-hero.png \
    --output assets/signed/q3-launch-hero.png \
    --brand "Acme Corp" \
    --generator "Vertex AI Nano Banana Pro" \
    --ai-claim ai-generated-content \
    --platform instagram \
    --signing-cert /secure/c2pa-prod-cert.pem \
    --signing-key /secure/c2pa-prod-key.pem

AI claim values (IPTC digital source type)

Value	When to use
`ai-generated-content`	Asset fully generated by AI (default for SocialForge image/video output)
`ai-assisted-edits`	Human-created asset with AI editing (e.g. brand-watermarked stock photo + AI background replacement)
`ai-no-substantive-changes`	AI used but no semantic change (e.g. AI upscaling, AI noise reduction)

Supported asset formats

Image: .png · .jpg/.jpeg · .webp · .gif · .tiff Video: .mp4 · .mov · .webm Audio: .mp3 · .wav

Signing certificate

For production deployment:

Obtain a C2PA-compatible signing certificate from a CAI-recognized authority
Store cert + key securely (not in git; use environment variables or a secret store)
Either pass paths on every invocation OR set c2pa_signing_cert_path and c2pa_signing_key_path in brand profile so the auto-sign hook picks them up

Reference: opensource.contentauthenticity.org/docs/manifest/signing-manifests/

Python dependencies

c2pa-python>=0.32.6 — auto-installed on first run
cryptography — only required for the dev self-signed cert path; auto-installed if missing

These are part of SocialForge's full install. The script auto-installs them via pip install --quiet on first invocation if not present.

# /socialforge:c2pa-sign — Embed Content Authenticity Provenance

## Purpose

## Context efficiency

Asset-heavy skill. **Grep before Read** the asset catalog (`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/socialforge/brands/<brand>/asset-index.json`) — never list the asset directory. Reference generated images / videos by path, not by loading metadata. Brand profile loads once per session.

Wraps `scripts/c2pa_sign.py` to add a **C2PA manifest** to any SocialForge-generated marketing asset. The manifest carries:

- Machine-readable provenance trail (brand, generator name, timestamp, prompt, target platform)
- IPTC digital-source-type vocabulary tag (`TRAINED_ALGORITHMIC_MEDIA` / `COMPOSITE_WITH_TRAINED_ALGORITHMIC_MEDIA` / `HUMAN_EDITS`)
- schema.org CreativeWork assertion (author = brand organization, dateCreated, publishingPrinciples = target platform)

**Why this matters:** EU AI Act Article 50 applies from **2 August 2026**. Generative-AI marketing content distributed in EU markets must be marked in a machine-readable format using open, interoperable standards — C2PA is the emerging backbone. Penalty: up to **€15 million or 3% global annual turnover**. Additional disclosure obligations apply under NY synthetic-performer law (effective June 2026) and FTC May 2026 endorsement guidance.

The resulting asset is verifiable at [contentcredentials.org/verify](https://contentcredentials.org/verify) or in any C2PA-aware viewer (Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Truepic, Microsoft Copilot, etc.).

### C2PA spec versions relevant to SocialForge (June 2026)

- **Content Credentials 2.3** (released 9 February 2026 — [launch post](https://c2pa.org/the-c2pa-launches-content-credentials-2-3-and-celebrates-5-years-of-impact-across-the-digital-ecosystem/)) added support for **live video** (broadcast/streaming), **plain text documents**, **OGG Vorbis audio**, **large AVI video files**, and **EXIF Original Preservation Images**. Relevant to SocialForge because:
  - Live video signing matters if you're producing Reels / TikTok / Shorts streaming content alongside the planned monthly batch.
  - EXIF Original Preservation Image format is the cleanest path for signing product photography that the brand wants to preserve through ad ops cropping.
- **C2PA Spec 2.4** (April 2026 — [spec.c2pa.org/specifications/specifications/2.4](https://spec.c2pa.org/specifications/specifications/2.4/specs/C2PA_Specification.html)) introduces the **AI Disclosure Assertion (`c2pa.ai-disclosure`)** — machine-readable AI transparency info that the EU AI Act Article 50 deployer pathway will read. When `c2pa_sign.py` is on a C2PA SDK ≥ 0.36 that handles 2.4, include this assertion alongside the existing IPTC + schema.org tags. The combination is what the **EU Code of Practice WG1/WG2** drafts reference as the canonical machine-readable mark.
- **C2PA Trust List** is now handled via the public C2PA Conformance Program — production signing certificates should come from a Conformance-Program-listed CA.

For the regulatory context (EU Article 50, the voluntary Code of Practice, the provider-vs-deployer obligations split, and where SocialForge falls), see `references/eu-ai-act-article50.md` in this plugin.

## When SocialForge invokes this automatically

If a brand profile sets `c2pa_auto_sign: true`, the image and video generation pipelines call this script as a post-generation step before delivering the asset. The signed file replaces the unsigned one — original output path is preserved.

If the brand profile does NOT set `c2pa_auto_sign: true`, generated assets are unsigned by default. You can sign on demand by invoking this skill explicitly.

## Quick examples

```bash
# Sign an image generated by Vertex AI for Instagram
/socialforge:c2pa-sign \
    --input assets/q3-launch-hero.png \
    --output assets/signed/q3-launch-hero.png \
    --brand "Acme Corp" \
    --generator "Vertex AI Nano Banana Pro" \
    --ai-claim ai-generated-content \
    --platform instagram

# Sign a video generated by Kling for TikTok
/socialforge:c2pa-sign \
    --input campaigns/launch.mp4 \
    --output campaigns/signed/launch.mp4 \
    --brand "Acme Corp" \
    --generator "WaveSpeed Kling v3.0 Pro" \
    --ai-claim ai-generated-content \
    --platform tiktok

# Production sign with a real C2PA certificate
/socialforge:c2pa-sign \
    --input assets/q3-launch-hero.png \
    --output assets/signed/q3-launch-hero.png \
    --brand "Acme Corp" \
    --generator "Vertex AI Nano Banana Pro" \
    --ai-claim ai-generated-content \
    --platform instagram \
    --signing-cert /secure/c2pa-prod-cert.pem \
    --signing-key /secure/c2pa-prod-key.pem
```

## AI claim values (IPTC digital source type)

| Value | When to use |
|---|---|
| `ai-generated-content` | Asset fully generated by AI (default for SocialForge image/video output) |
| `ai-assisted-edits` | Human-created asset with AI editing (e.g. brand-watermarked stock photo + AI background replacement) |
| `ai-no-substantive-changes` | AI used but no semantic change (e.g. AI upscaling, AI noise reduction) |

## Supported asset formats

Image: `.png` · `.jpg/.jpeg` · `.webp` · `.gif` · `.tiff`
Video: `.mp4` · `.mov` · `.webm`
Audio: `.mp3` · `.wav`

## Signing certificate

Production C2PA signatures require a certificate from a CAI-recognized signing authority (Adobe, Truepic, Numbers Protocol, Microsoft Azure Confidential Ledger). Pass `--signing-cert` and `--signing-key` for production. If omitted, the script generates a **self-signed 90-day dev certificate** — assets sign successfully but verify as "signature present, signer not in trust list" at contentcredentials.org/verify. **Do not ship dev-cert-signed assets to production.**

For production deployment:

1. Obtain a C2PA-compatible signing certificate from a CAI-recognized authority
2. Store cert + key securely (not in git; use environment variables or a secret store)
3. Either pass paths on every invocation OR set `c2pa_signing_cert_path` and `c2pa_signing_key_path` in brand profile so the auto-sign hook picks them up

Reference: [opensource.contentauthenticity.org/docs/manifest/signing-manifests/](https://opensource.contentauthenticity.org/docs/manifest/signing-manifests/)

## Python dependencies

- `c2pa-python>=0.32.6` — auto-installed on first run
- `cryptography` — only required for the dev self-signed cert path; auto-installed if missing

These are part of SocialForge's full install. The script auto-installs them via `pip install --quiet` on first invocation if not present.

## Interoperability

This skill is intentionally **self-contained** — signing requires nothing beyond this plugin. Manifests follow the open C2PA spec (same manifest schema, same IPTC vocabulary), so any standards-compliant C2PA tool verifies a SocialForge-signed asset identically, and assets signed elsewhere verify here.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
