Perhaps you could create a short bash alias that wraps the commands for you so that you can feel safe and secure? I believe this has been a feature of shells since 1997? .sig is used by lots of other applications too. At least three are listed on https://fileinfo.com/extension/sig and none of them are PGP or Kleopatra.
PKCS#7 is fine but old and nothing supports it other than Windows to store key data in--not for signatures. It was never widely adopted for signatures and I can't think of a single library that supports it.
This is widely used by GitHub now for signing as an alternative to PGP. The namespacing in particular is important as git uses a specific namespace and thus isn't weird and is definitely being used now "in the wild."
