author-detection-content

author-detection-content is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gaelic-ghost/socket. It costs 50 tokens per session (408 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for creating tested security detections from confirmed behavior. It supports formats and tools such as Sigma, osquery, YARA-X, endpoint queries, and SIEM rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define the alert purpose, choose reliable event data, write detection logic, add response context, and test positive and negative examples.
Why use it?
It helps turn an observed threat into alerts that use available telemetry and account for benign matches, missing fields, and known blind spots.

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

author-detection-content 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.

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.

What it actually says

Author Detection Content

Overview

Detect the validated behavior at the most reliable telemetry layer. Use author-yara-x-rules for artifact pattern rules; use this workflow for event, query, correlation, and alert content.

Read references/detection-quality.md before choosing logic or deployment severity.

Workflow

  1. Define objective and response.
    • State the behavior, threat/finding source, protected surface, expected alert consumer, urgency, and action.
  2. Identify telemetry prerequisites.
    • Record source/product/version, event types/fields, collection permissions, normalization, retention, latency, and known blind spots.
  3. Select durable features.
    • Prefer behavior and context combinations over mutable infrastructure or one noisy field.
    • Map to ATT&CK only when evidence supports it.
  4. Author content.
    • Include title/ID, description, status, author/date, references, log source, logic/query, fields, false positives, level/severity, tags, and test notes as the target format permits.
  5. Test fixtures.
    • Include validated positive events, benign negatives and near-misses, missing/renamed fields, ordering/time-window cases, duplicate events, volume/performance, and known platform variants.
  6. Tune and validate response.
    • Improve logic before adding exclusions; verify enrichment and runbook lead an analyst to decisive evidence.
  7. Deploy and maintain.
    • Record target environments, owner, version, rollout, alert volume, suppression/exception expiry, health checks, and review triggers.

Output

Return detection content, telemetry contract, evidence provenance, fixture results, false positives/limits, performance, severity/response, deployment plan, and owner/review date.

Files

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
