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.

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 | $0.00048 | $0.02559 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.01280 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00512 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00256 |
Grade A, and why
analyzing-malware-family-relationships-with-malpedia scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

Analyzing Malware Family Relationships with Malpedia
Overview
Malpedia is a collaborative platform maintained by Fraunhofer FKIE that catalogs malware families with their aliases, YARA rules, threat actor associations, and reference reports. With over 2,600 malware families documented, it serves as the definitive resource for understanding malware lineages, tracking variant evolution, and linking malware to specific threat groups. This skill covers querying the Malpedia API, mapping malware family relationships, extracting YARA rules for detection, and building intelligence on malware ecosystems used by adversaries.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.9+ with
requests,yara-python,stix2libraries - Malpedia API key (register at https://malpedia.caad.fkie.fraunhofer.de/)
- Understanding of malware classification and naming conventions
- Familiarity with YARA rule syntax for detection
- Access to malware samples for validation (optional)
Key Concepts
Malpedia Data Model
Malpedia organizes malware into Families (e.g., "win.cobalt_strike"), each containing: aliases (vendor-specific names like "Beacon", "CobaltStrike"), YARA rules (community and vendor-contributed), actor associations (threat groups using the family), reference reports (CTI reports documenting the family), and sample hashes (representative samples for each variant).
Malware Family Naming
Malpedia uses the format platform.family_name (e.g., win.emotet, elf.mirai, apk.flubot). Platforms include win (Windows), elf (Linux), apk (Android), osx (macOS), and py (Python). This standardized naming resolves the "many names" problem where different vendors assign different names to the same malware.
Family Relationships
Malware families have relationships including: parent-child (code reuse, forks), loader-payload (Emotet loads TrickBot loads Ryuk), shared authorship (same threat actor develops multiple tools), and infrastructure sharing (common C2 frameworks).
Practical Steps
What ships with it
3 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.
