Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
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 undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
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.
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

About this skill
What it does
The cybersecurity-analyst skill equips AI agents with the ability to analyze potential security threats, detect anomalies in network traffic, and provide insights into vulnerabilities. It can interpret logs, identify suspicious activity, and suggest mitigation strategies based on known attack patterns.
When to use it
- To investigate unusual login attempts or access patterns in a company's internal systems.
- When analyzing firewall or intrusion detection system (IDS) logs for signs of malicious behavior.
- During incident response efforts to determine the scope and impact of a security breach.
Key capabilities
- Analyzes network traffic and log files for suspicious activity
- Identifies potential threats based on known attack signatures
- Provides recommendations for mitigating identified risks
Example prompts
- "Analyze this firewall log for signs of unauthorized access."
- "What could be the cause of these repeated failed login attempts?"
- "Review the system logs and identify any unusual behavior over the past 24 hours."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure that the AI agent has access to relevant security databases or threat intelligence feeds for accurate analysis.
- Be cautious when interpreting results—always validate findings with additional tools or expert review.
