Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash skills/shared/scripts/setup_credentials.sh.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 C, and why

cisco-secure-access-setup scanned grade C with 2 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 29d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/configure_account.sh, scripts/configure_settings.sh, scripts/setup.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

When to Activate

  • Install or configure the Cisco Secure Access Splunk app and event add-on.
  • Provision investigate, private-app, or app-discovery indexes.
  • Diagnose missing Secure Access events or empty dashboards.

Scope

This skill configures documented Splunk app and account surfaces. It does not change Secure Access policy, collect credentials in chat, or claim completion until event ingestion and shipped dashboards are validated.

Examples

Install the app and required event add-on:

bash skills/cisco-secure-access-setup/scripts/setup.sh --install

Expected output: the reviewed package and index plan is applied or a clear manual handoff is emitted for the target Splunk topology.

Validate a configured organization account:

bash skills/cisco-secure-access-setup/scripts/validate.sh \
  --completion --org-id example-org-id

Expected output: package, account, index, event, macro, and dashboard checks report [PASS]; incomplete collection exits nonzero.

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Resolution
Required add-on is absent Only the visualization app was installed Install and validate both package IDs
Account fails ID or authorization is invalid Verify ID and credential file
Events land in the wrong index App settings and input differ Align the input with the rendered index plan
Dashboards are empty Events or package macros are missing Validate ingestion before adjusting dashboard settings

Changes

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.
