malware-report-writer

malware-report-writer is a skill for Claude Code from gl0bal01/malware-analysis-claude-skills. It costs 55 tokens per session (2,470 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for producing professional malware analysis reports for security and incident-response teams. Malware analysis examines suspicious software to document what it does and how to detect it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when documenting samples, hashes, behavior, network activity, indicators of compromise, YARA rules, and detection guidance.
Why use it?
It organizes technical findings into a report that both security specialists and non-technical stakeholders can use.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

malware-report-writer 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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 237 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Malware Report Writer

Create professional, comprehensive malware analysis reports for enterprise security teams, incident response, and threat intelligence.

Execution Model

  • You write the report. Read analysis_state.md and the evidence directory yourself (triage report, procmon_summary.txt, sysmon_summary.txt, tshark exports, decoded scripts, detection rule files) and draft every section from that. Ask the user only for what the evidence cannot tell you: engagement name, analyst name, audience, classification/TLP, and gaps you have flagged.
  • Locate skill files. Scripts and reference files ship in this skill's directory. Set R="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-<dir containing this SKILL.md>}" once (when installed as a plugin $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is set; otherwise it is this skill folder). Your working directory is the user's analysis workspace, so prefix every script path below with $R, e.g. python3 "$R"/scripts/ioc_extract.py.
  • Author the YARA rule from the evidence (runtime-decrypted strings, unique UA/URI, mutex, PDB path, config markers) and test it yourself when yara is installed — see Testing YARA rules. If it cannot be tested, mark the rule UNTESTED in the report; never present an untested rule as validated.
  • Defang at write time. Run any IOC list through python3 scripts/ioc_extract.py (repo root) rather than defanging by hand.
  • Output is a file. Write reports/<sample>_report.md in the user's workspace (create the directory), then print the executive summary and the quality-checklist result. Never leave template placeholders in the delivered file.
  • State what was not done. Phases skipped, network not observed, packer not defeated — these go in the report's limitations, not silently omitted.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user needs to:

  • Create a complete malware analysis report from analysis findings
  • Structure analysis results into professional documentation
  • Write executive summaries for malware samples
  • Format IOCs and detection rules for delivery
  • Review or improve existing malware reports
  • Prepare report documentation for stakeholders

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.
