apple-vuln-research-apple-silicon-kernel-layout

apple-vuln-research-apple-silicon-kernel-layout is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dmaynor/dmaynor-skills-marketplace. It costs 68 tokens per session (2,395 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A workflow for locating the arm64e kernel and the correct per-chip kernel cache on Apple Silicon macOS. The kernel is the core software that controls the operating system and hardware.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when selecting kernel binaries for security research on a specific Apple Silicon Mac or system-on-chip.
Why use it?
It helps avoid studying the wrong kernel file when the visible system file does not match the architecture the Mac actually boots.

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

apple-vuln-research-apple-silicon-kernel-layout 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 yesterday.

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.
