Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: docs.aws.amazon.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

      GuardDuty also provides a dedicated finding type, [Stealth:IAMUser/CloudTrailLoggingDisabled](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/guardduty/latest/ug/guardduty_finding…

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned datadog/stratus-red-team at 5f9d43d83e.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The create-attack-technique skill allows AI agents to generate detailed attack techniques based on provided inputs. It can produce structured outputs including attacker tactics, procedures, and techniques (TPTs) that are suitable for red team operations or security assessments. The generated techniques include relevant MITRE ATT&CK mappings and considerations for execution.

When to use it

  • Red Team Planning: Generate new attack scenarios and TPTs for a planned engagement.
  • Security Assessment Preparation: Develop potential attack vectors to test the effectiveness of existing defenses.
  • Threat Intelligence Enrichment: Translate threat intelligence reports into actionable attack techniques.
  • Training & Simulation: Create realistic attack simulations for security training exercises.

Key capabilities

  • Generates detailed attack techniques.
  • Includes MITRE ATT&CK mappings.
  • Provides considerations for execution.
  • Produces structured TPT outputs.

Example prompts

  • "Create an attack technique targeting Active Directory using PowerShell."
  • "Generate a phishing attack technique leveraging social engineering principles, mapped to ATT&CK ID T1566."
  • "Develop a technique for lateral movement within a network after initial access has been achieved."

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the generated techniques depends heavily on the specificity and clarity of the prompt. Providing context about the target environment or desired attacker profile will improve results.
