Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00119 | $0.02057 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00048 | $0.00823 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00411 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00206 |
Grade A, and why
lookup-ransomwarelive 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 2mo 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 — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
lookup-ransomwarelive
Queries ransomware.live's PRO API for victim claims, group profiles, IOCs, YARA rules, ransom notes, negotiation chats, and CSIRT contacts. Retrieval only — the invoking skill or agent reasons about the result. Note that leak-site claims are claims, not confirmed breaches (see Source reliability below).
When to invoke
- An investigated domain or organisation should be checked against ransomware leak-site claims
- Profiling a ransomware group — pull description, TTPs, tools, vulnerabilities, leak-site
.onioninfrastructure - Sector- or country-level ransomware briefing (e.g., "all NL victims claimed in 2026")
- Detection engineering for a specific group — fetch its public YARA rules + IOC dump
- Updating the
/ransomware-ecosystemknowledge cell with the current top-N groups by victim count - Incident response: looking up a country's CSIRT/CERT contact list
Do NOT invoke for:
- General malware classification — use
/lookup-virustotal - Confirming whether a specific incident actually occurred — leak-site claims are unverified by default
- Initial-access vector intelligence — that's not on leak sites; chain
/initial-access-brokersinstead
How to invoke
Single Python CLI (stdlib only — no install).

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.

lookup-ransomwarelive is a skill published in the GitHub repository Liberty91LTD/cti-skills (36 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 119 tokens to every session and 2,057 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
