validating-detections-with-atomic-tests

validating-detections-with-atomic-tests is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from meltedinhex/analyst-ai-pack. It costs 69 tokens per session (628 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A detection-coverage checking workflow that compares Atomic Red Team tests with your security detections. Atomic Red Team is a collection of controlled tests that imitate specific attacker behaviors, while ATT&CK is a catalogue of those behaviors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare test and detection inventories, measure covered and uncovered techniques, rank gaps, and support authorized testing in an isolated environment.
Why use it?
It shows which tested attack techniques your detections cover and where alerts are missing. This helps you focus validation and improvement work on the largest gaps.

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

validating-detections-with-atomic-tests 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/analyst.py), 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.

What it actually says

Validating Detections With Atomic Tests

When to Use

  • You want to validate that your detections fire for specific ATT&CK techniques by correlating Atomic Red Team test definitions with your detection inventory.
  • You are measuring coverage and identifying gaps before or after running atomics.

Do not use the atomics themselves on production systems without authorization and isolation — they execute adversary behaviors. This skill performs mapping/coverage analysis offline.

Prerequisites

  • An export of Atomic test→technique mappings (CSV/JSON) and your detection inventory mapped to ATT&CK techniques.

Workflow

Step 1: Compute coverage

python scripts/analyst.py coverage --atomics atomics.json --detections detections.json

Joins atomic-tested techniques with your detections' covered techniques and reports covered vs uncovered techniques.

Step 2: Prioritize gaps

Rank uncovered techniques by the number of atomic tests (more atomics → more validated adversary behavior you currently miss).

Step 3: Validate live (authorized/isolated)

For covered techniques, run the corresponding atomic in an isolated range and confirm the detection fires; record results.

Step 4: Close gaps

Author detections for high-priority uncovered techniques and re-run coverage.

Validation

  • Coverage join keys on ATT&CK technique IDs (including sub-techniques).
  • Covered and uncovered technique lists are complete and disjoint.
  • Gap prioritization reflects atomic-test counts.

Pitfalls

  • Sub-technique vs parent-technique mismatch (T1059 vs T1059.001) skewing coverage.
  • Claiming coverage from a rule that exists but is disabled/untuned.
  • Running atomics outside an isolated, authorized range.

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.

validating-detections-with-atomic-tests is a skill published in the GitHub repository meltedinhex/analyst-ai-pack (22 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 628 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
