malware-analysis-claude-skills: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

malware-analysis-claude-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from gl0bal01/malware-analysis-claude-skills. It costs 1,697 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of instructions for analyzing malware, which is software designed to harm systems or evade detection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for rapid sample triage, classification, prioritization, and deeper malware investigations across one or more samples.
Why use it?
It organizes the analysis process by file type and investigation stage, so samples can be assessed consistently without treating the repository like a normal application.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is gl0bal01/malware-analysis-claude-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on malware-analysis-claude-skills itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything malware-analysis-claude-skills configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

malware-analysis-claude-skills CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This is a Claude skills package for malware analysis — not a traditional software project. It contains 6 SKILL.md files (1 orchestrator + 5 sub-skills) with supporting references, templates, and scripts that make Claude perform every phase of the malware analysis lifecycle itself (static tooling, evidence parsing, rule authoring, report writing). The only manual step is executing the sample in the analyst's isolated VM. There is no build system; the only tests are the --self-test flags on the Python scripts.

Repository Structure

The root SKILL.md is the orchestrator — the single entry point for all malware analysis. It routes to the 5 sub-skills based on file type and user intent, manages analysis state across phases in analysis_state.md, and supports multi-sample batch workflows. Users don't need to invoke sub-skills directly.

Each sub-skill is a self-contained directory with a SKILL.md (the skill prompt) plus optional references/, assets/, and scripts/ subdirectories:

  • malware-triage/ — Rapid static assessment, classification, and prioritization. Claude runs scripts/pe_info.py (needs pefile), scripts/hash_calculator.py, strings, and the root scripts/ioc_extract.py; references cover suspicious APIs and the triage checklist.
  • malware-dynamic-analysis/ — Part A: VM runbook for the analyst (monitoring setup, execution, text-format evidence exports). Part B: Claude parses the evidence with scripts/procmon_summary.py and scripts/sysmon_summary.py plus tshark exports. References cover tool setup, sandbox build, anti-analysis bypass.
  • scripts/ (repo root) — ioc_extract.py: IOC extraction/defanging used by every phase (--refang, --format csv|json, --self-test).
  • specialized-file-analyzer/ — Non-PE file analysis: .NET assemblies, Office macros, PDFs, PowerShell/VBS/JS scripts, archives, LNK files, ELF binaries.
  • detection-engineer/ — Creating Sigma rules (SIEM), Suricata/Snort rules (IDS), hunting queries, IOC defanging, and IOC format conversion (STIX, CSV, OpenIOC).
  • malware-report-writer/ — Professional report creation with a 12-section template (assets/report_template.md), YARA rule authoring, and quality checklists.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
