prowler-readme-table

When to Use

Use this skill when updating the Prowler at a Glance table in the root README.md. This table tracks the number of checks, services, compliance frameworks, and categories for each supported provider.

Procedure

Step 1: Collect Stats via CLI

Run the following command for each provider and each metric:

python3 prowler-cli.py <provider> --list-<metric>

Providers: aws, azure, gcp, kubernetes, github, m365, oraclecloud, alibabacloud, cloudflare, mongodbatlas, openstack, nhn

Metrics: checks, services, compliance, categories

The CLI output ends with a summary line like:

There are 572 available checks.
There is 1 available Compliance Framework.

Extract the number from the summary line. Note that singular results use "There is" instead of "There are".

Step 2: Batch Extraction

Use this one-liner to collect all stats at once (handles both singular and plural output):

for provider in aws azure gcp kubernetes github m365 oraclecloud alibabacloud cloudflare mongodbatlas openstack nhn; do
  for metric in checks services compliance categories; do
    result=$(python3 prowler-cli.py $provider --list-$metric 2>&1 | sed -n 's/.*There \(are\|is\) .*\x1b\[33m\([0-9]*\)\x1b\[0m.*/\2/p')
    echo "$provider $metric: $result"
  done
done

Step 3: Update the Table

Edit the table in README.md (located in the # Prowler at a Glance section) with the collected numbers.

Table format:

| Provider | Checks | Services | [Compliance Frameworks](...) | [Categories](...) | Support | Interface |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWS | 572 | 83 | 41 | 17 | Official | UI, API, CLI |

Provider Name Mapping

CLI Provider	Table Display Name
aws	AWS
azure	Azure
gcp	GCP
kubernetes	Kubernetes
github	GitHub
m365	M365
oraclecloud	OCI
alibabacloud	Alibaba Cloud
cloudflare	Cloudflare
mongodbatlas	MongoDB Atlas
openstack	OpenStack
nhn	NHN

Special Rows (No CLI stats)

These providers delegate to external tools and do NOT use CLI stats:

Provider	Checks Column	Services	Compliance	Categories
IaC	[See trivy docs.](https://trivy.dev/latest/docs/coverage/iac/)	N/A	N/A	N/A
LLM	[See promptfoo docs.](https://www.promptfoo.dev/docs/red-team/plugins/)	N/A	N/A	N/A

Support and Interface Columns

• Support: Official for all providers except NHN which is Unofficial
• Interface: Most providers use UI, API, CLI. Exceptions with CLI only: Cloudflare, OpenStack, NHN, LLM

Rules

• ALWAYS use the CLI (python3 prowler-cli.py) to obtain numbers. Do NOT count files manually.
• NEVER commit changes unless explicitly asked.
• NEVER modify the IaC or LLM rows (they link to external docs).
• Verify the CLI is working by running one provider first before batch-processing all.

Resources

• CLI entry point: prowler-cli.py in the repository root
• Table location: README.md, section # Prowler at a Glance (around line 100)
