vhir-report-writing

vhir-report-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AppliedIR/sift-mcp. It costs 42 tokens per session (340 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A report-writing workflow for digital investigations that uses case data and selected report formats, then saves the finished report.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating full, executive, timeline, indicator-of-compromise, findings, and status reports, and for recording incident metadata.
Why use it?
It gives investigators a defined process for turning approved findings and case details into a stored report.

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

vhir-report-writing 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.

What it actually says

Report Generation (report-mcp)

Use these tools after findings are APPROVED:

  • generate_report(profile) — get case data + Zeltser guidance for a report type: full, executive, timeline, ioc, findings, status
  • set_case_metadata(field, value) — set incident metadata (type, severity, dates, scope, team) in CASE.yaml
  • get_case_metadata() — retrieve case metadata
  • save_report(filename, content) — persist rendered report
  • list_reports() — list saved reports
  • list_profiles() — show available report types

Workflow: call generate_report → follow zeltser_guidance to call Zeltser tools → write narrative sections → save_report.

report-mcp (Report Generation)

Data-driven investigation reports with profile-based formatting.

  • generate_report — generate report from case data (profiles: full, executive, timeline, ioc, findings, status)
  • set_case_metadata — set report metadata (organization, classification, etc.)
  • get_case_metadata — retrieve report metadata
  • list_profiles — available report profiles with descriptions
  • save_report — save generated report to file
  • list_reports — list saved reports

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.
