agentic-dns: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/chunk-sidecar/SKILL.md

chunk-sidecar is a skill for Claude Code from dedsecorg/agentic-dns. It costs 150 tokens per session (2,888 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-agent skill for running builds, tests, and validation in a remote Linux environment provided through CircleCI, a continuous-integration service.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps set up the remote environment, sync code to it, run tests or validation, diagnose problems, and manage test-suite configuration.
Why use it?
It removes the need to reproduce the same environment locally and provides a repeatable sync-and-validate workflow.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is dedsecorg/agentic-dns's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agentic-dns itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agentic-dns configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Privilege Escalation · line 125
    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
  • medium Rogue Agent · line 58
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

chunk-sidecar 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 259 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Chunk Sidecar

Run your build, test, and validate commands on a remote CircleCI-provisioned Linux environment instead of locally. The 90% job is the sync → validate dev loop. This skill also handles first-time setup, debugging, test-suite scaffolding, and snapshot management.


Step 0 — Probe State, Then Ask

Run these probes before anything else. They are read-only and always safe:

chunk --version 2>&1 || echo "CHUNK_NOT_INSTALLED"
chunk auth status 2>&1
cat .chunk/config.json 2>&1 || echo "{}"
chunk sidecar current 2>&1

If chunk is not installed: Stop. Tell the user to install chunk before using this skill.

If auth shows CircleCI "Not set": Run the OAuth login for them — see Logging in — then re-run chunk auth status. Only continue once CircleCI shows "Configured".

Otherwise, call AskUserQuestion based on detected state (choose the block that matches):


No active sidecar + no validation.sidecarImage in config (first time)

AskUserQuestion:
  header: "Sidecar intent"
  question: "No sidecar is configured yet. What would you like to do?"
  options:
    - "Walk me through first-time setup"
      → invoke the chunk-sidecar-setup skill via the Skill tool
    - "I have a snapshot ID — create from it"
      → ask user for the snapshot ID, then:
         chunk sidecar create --image <id>
         chunk sidecar sync
         → continue to Dev Loop section
    - "Diagnose what's missing"
      → go to Prerequisites section, report findings
    - "Scaffold test-suites.yml for Smarter Testing"
      → go to Scaffolding section

No active sidecar + validation.sidecarImage IS set

AskUserQuestion:
  header: "Sidecar action"
  question: "You have a configured snapshot but no running sidecar. What would you like to do?"
  options:
    - "Launch from snapshot and start dev loop"  ← Recommended
      → chunk sidecar create --image <sidecarImage>
        chunk sidecar sync
        → continue to Dev Loop section
    - "Debug or fix something"
      → go to Troubleshooting section
    - "Scaffold test-suites.yml"
      → go to Scaffolding section
    - "Manage snapshots"
      → go to Snapshot Management section

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.

chunk-sidecar is a skill published in the GitHub repository dedsecorg/agentic-dns (8 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 150 tokens to every session and 2,888 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-06.
