rule-gen

rule-gen is a skill for Claude Code from ev-flow/quark-engine. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,407 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A tool workflow that turns a described software behavior and decompiled Android code into a Quark Engine detection rule. Quark Engine is a framework for finding suspicious behavior in Android apps, and decompiled code is code recovered from an app package.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and validate Quark Engine rules for detecting specific behaviors in APK files, the installable packages used by Android apps.
Why use it?
It helps turn an observed behavior into a checkable rule and tests the result against an actual Android app before returning it.

About the project

Quark Engine presents analysis reports for Android malware families, describing their behaviours, such as credential theft, remote control, data exfiltration, and ransomware activity. Security researchers use it to examine and document how malicious Android applications operate.

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 →

    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

rule-gen 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate_rule.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.

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.

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.
