What it can touch

From the files and frontmatter at commit a8de813. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.

  • Touches credentials

    It reads, asks for or contains keys, tokens, passwords or similar secrets.

    SKILL.md:1084 (opens in a new tab)

  • Turns off system protections

    It removes download warnings, adds antivirus exclusions, switches off a firewall or loosens permissions.

    SKILL.md:7415 (opens in a new tab)

  • Runs shell commands

    Its instructions or files give the agent commands to run on your computer.

    SKILL.md:7415 (opens in a new tab)

  • Reaches the network

    It sends or fetches data over the internet, for example with curl, an HTTP library or a package install.

  • Names web addresses

    It mentions outside web addresses the agent may visit. We list them but don't follow them.

    Outside links we did not follow

Pattern check

Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit a8de813 · 3 Nov 2026

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit a8de813 on 3 Nov 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

Format check

Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.

  • Agent Skills specFails

    The open format from agentskills.io, held to the strictest version of each rule among the agents we check.

    • Error

      The file doesn't start with a --- line, so it has no frontmatter. The spec requires a name and description there. F3

      Fix: Start the file with ---, then name: and description: lines, then a closing --- line.

    • Warning

      The body is 10780 lines; the spec suggests under 500. B1

      Fix: Move detailed sections into reference files and link to them from SKILL.md.

    • Warning

      The body is about 86,055 tokens (approx.); the spec suggests under 5,000. B2

      Fix: Move detail into reference files that the agent reads only when needed.

  • Claude CodePasses with warnings

    Claude Code reads its own extra fields, ignores unknown ones, and still loads a skill whose frontmatter is broken, without its fields.

    • Warning

      The file doesn't start with a --- line, so it has no frontmatter. Claude Code reads it all as instructions: the name falls back to the folder and the description to the first line. F3

      Fix: Start the file with ---, then name: and description: lines, then a closing --- line.

    • Note

      The body is 10780 lines; the spec suggests under 500. Claude Code's docs say the same. B1

      Fix: Move detailed sections into reference files and link to them from SKILL.md.

    • Note

      The body is about 86,055 tokens (approx.); the spec suggests under 5,000. After compaction Claude Code keeps only the first 5,000 tokens of a skill. B2

      Fix: Move detail into reference files that the agent reads only when needed.

  • Claude apps & API uploadFails

    Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.

    • Error

      The file doesn't start with a --- line, so it has no frontmatter. Anthropic's validator stops with "No YAML frontmatter found". F3

      Fix: Start the file with ---, then name: and description: lines, then a closing --- line.

    • Note

      The body is 10780 lines; the spec suggests under 500. Anthropic's guidance says the same. B1

      Fix: Move detailed sections into reference files and link to them from SKILL.md.

    • Note

      The body is about 86,055 tokens (approx.); the spec suggests under 5,000. Anthropic's guidance says the same. B2

      Fix: Move detail into reference files that the agent reads only when needed.

  • OpenAI (Codex & API)Fails

    Codex finds SKILL.md by its exact name and needs a description; OpenAI's Skills API checks the frontmatter against the spec and caps uploads.

    • Error

      The file doesn't start with a --- line, so it has no frontmatter. Codex can't find a name or description and skips the skill. F3

      Fix: Start the file with ---, then name: and description: lines, then a closing --- line.

  • VS Code & CopilotPasses with warnings

    VS Code reads skills one folder below .github/skills, .claude/skills or .agents/skills and falls back to the folder name when the name is missing or differs; GitHub's Copilot docs require the exact name SKILL.md.

    • Warning

      The file doesn't start with a --- line, so it has no frontmatter. VS Code lists the skill under its folder name with no description for the agent to match. F3

      Fix: Start the file with ---, then name: and description: lines, then a closing --- line.

offensive-anti-forensicsAnti-forensics and evidence destruction techniques for red team operators conducting authorized engagements. Covers log clearing on Windows (wevtutil, Clear-EventLog, ETW provider patching) and Linux (journal truncation, utmp/wtmp binary editing, syslog manipulation), timestamp manipulation via Timestomp and SetMACE to defeat timeline analysis, filesystem-level anti-forensics including NTFS Alternate Data Streams for payload hiding and secure deletion with sdelete/shred, memory artifact removal to counter live forensics, disk artifact manipulation targeting MFT entries and USN journal records, network forensics evasion through encrypted C2 channels and DNS-over-HTTPS tunneling, and anti-VM/sandbox detection to avoid dynamic analysis environments. Tools: Timestomp, wevtutil, sdelete, shred, MimiPenguin, Invoke-Phant0m. Aligns to MITRE ATT&CK T1070 (Indicator Removal), T1027 (Obfuscated Files or Information), T1497 (Virtualization/Sandbox Evasion). Each technique includes the forensic artifact it targets, the destruction or manipulation method, and the defender perspective so operators understand detection gaps they must account for.

Addresses the full OWASP API Security Top 10 2023 including BOLA/IDOR, broken authentication, excessive data exposure, rate limiting bypass, BFLA, mass assignment, SSRF, and security misconfiguration. Includes REST-specific attacks such as HTTP verb tampering, content-type switching, and parameter pollution. Covers gRPC exploitation through protobuf interception, reflection API enumeration, and metadata injection. Addresses WebSocket vulnerabilities including origin bypass, message injection, and cross-site WebSocket hijacking. Provides tooling guidance for Burp Suite, Postman, grpcurl, websocat, and mitmproxy. Each technique includes detection signatures and defensive indicators so you understand what artifacts your testing leaves behind. Designed for authorized penetration testing engagements against API-driven architectures.
