explore-controls-by-classical

explore-controls-by-classical is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cosai-oasis/secure-ai-tooling. It costs 145 tokens per session (768 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only skill that connects established security ideas, such as least privilege or zero trust, to matching CoSAI Risk Map controls. It explains how the traditional idea relates to AI and agent systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify controls related to a known security principle and understand the connection.
Why use it?
It gives security practitioners a way to find familiar concepts in a framework designed for AI systems.

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

explore-controls-by-classical 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 13d 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.

Explore Controls by Classical Concept

Help someone who knows classical security find its analogues among the CoSAI controls, and see how the framework extends the concept to AI/agentic systems. Read-only.

This is the consumer, read-only sibling of the classical-lexicon skill (which grounds terminology at authoring time). Reuse its lexicon for the grounding — do not re-derive or duplicate it.

Audience and voice

Classical-security-literate, new to CoSAI-RM. Explain framework terms (control, the risks a control addresses); link every control id; make the classical→AI bridge explicit.

How to answer

  1. Ground the classical concept. Consult the classical-lexicon skill for the canonical term of art and its meaning/aliases (e.g. "PEP" = Policy Enforcement Point, NIST SP 800-207 / 800-162). Confirm you're mapping the right concept.
  2. Find the controls that embody it. Search risk-map/yaml/controls.yaml — the corpus already grounds many controls classically (e.g. "least-privilege principle", "reference monitor", "attestation", "provenance", "confused deputy"). Grep the canonical term and its synonyms across control titles, description and guidance.
  3. Explain the bridge. For each matching control: id + title, how it embodies or extends the classical concept, and the AI-specific amplifier (what's different/harder in AI/agentic systems). Distinguish "directly embodies" from "related/adjacent".
  4. Attach exposure. Note the risks each surfaced control addresses (its risks field) so the reader sees what it's for.
  5. No clean match? Say so plainly and point to the nearest controls; note it may be a coverage gap. Surface it — do not author.

Output (adaptive)

  • "what controls map to X" → table: Control (id — title) | how it embodies X | risks it addresses.
  • "how does X show up in the framework" → a narrative classical→AI bridge.
  • Unknown/ambiguous concept → confirm it via classical-lexicon, then answer.
  • Always link control ids; note this reflects the current corpus.

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.

explore-controls-by-classical is a skill published in the GitHub repository cosai-oasis/secure-ai-tooling (100 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 145 tokens to every session and 768 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-10-01.
