Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00081 | $0.01566 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00626 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00313 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00157 |
Grade A, and why
configuring-windows-event-logging-for-detection 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 1mo 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.

Configuring Windows Event Logging for Detection
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Configuring Windows Advanced Audit Policy for security monitoring
- Enabling process creation auditing with command line logging (Event 4688)
- Setting up logon/logoff auditing for authentication monitoring
- Sizing event log storage and forwarding to SIEM platforms
Do not use for Sysmon configuration (separate skill) or Linux audit logging.
Prerequisites
- Windows Server or Windows 10/11 systems with Group Policy management access
- Active Directory environment with Group Policy Object (GPO) creation privileges
- SIEM platform configured to receive Windows Event Log forwarding
- Understanding of Windows security event IDs and audit categories
Workflow
Step 1: Configure Advanced Audit Policy via GPO
Computer Configuration → Windows Settings → Security Settings
→ Advanced Audit Policy Configuration → Audit Policies
Recommended settings:
Account Logon:
- Audit Credential Validation: Success, Failure
- Audit Kerberos Authentication: Success, Failure
Account Management:
- Audit Security Group Management: Success
- Audit User Account Management: Success, Failure
Logon/Logoff:
- Audit Logon: Success, Failure
- Audit Logoff: Success
- Audit Special Logon: Success
- Audit Other Logon/Logoff Events: Success, Failure
Object Access:
- Audit File Share: Success, Failure
- Audit Removable Storage: Success, Failure
- Audit SAM: Success
Policy Change:
- Audit Audit Policy Change: Success, Failure
- Audit Authentication Policy Change: Success
Privilege Use:
- Audit Sensitive Privilege Use: Success, Failure
Detailed Tracking:
- Audit Process Creation: Success
- Audit DPAPI Activity: Success, Failure
Step 2: Enable Command Line in Process Creation Events
# Registry: Enable command line logging in Event 4688
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\Audit" `
-Name ProcessCreationIncludeCmdLine_Enabled -Value 1 -PropertyType DWORD -Force
# GPO: Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → System → Audit Process Creation
# "Include command line in process creation events" → Enabled
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

configuring-windows-event-logging-for-detection is a skill published in the GitHub repository 26zl/cybersec-toolkit (82 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 1,566 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
