agentsstandard-dot-com: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/pqc-signatures-security/SKILL.md

pqc-signatures-security is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nbiish/agentsstandard-dot-com. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,955 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for adding and checking ML-DSA-65 post-quantum digital signatures and security controls for agent workflows. ML-DSA-65 is a standardized signature algorithm designed to resist attacks that could be enabled by future quantum computers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or review signed file-integrity checks and secure agent workflows. It is intended for repositories that need post-quantum signatures and controlled code execution.
Why use it?
It helps verify that files have not been altered before code is executed and promotes controls such as limited permissions, safe path handling, and secret redaction.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: positional $N argument; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is nbiish/agentsstandard-dot-com's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on agentsstandard-dot-com itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agentsstandard-dot-com configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Companion skill:** [pqc-secrets](../pqc-secrets/SKILL.md) — API key encryption at rest via ML-KEM-768 + AES-256-GCM. Use both together for complete PQC covera.

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

pqc-signatures-security scanned grade A 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/pqc_helper.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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

chmod 600 .signing/agent_privkey.pem

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

PQC Signatures and Repository Security Agent Skill

Companion skill: pqc-secrets — API key encryption at rest via ML-KEM-768 + AES-256-GCM. Use both together for complete PQC coverage: pqc-secrets encrypts your secrets; this skill verifies your code integrity.

This skill provides comprehensive instructions, blueprints, and reference code for implementing post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) signature verification and agentic security standards in any repository.

AI agents using this skill are equipped to:

  1. Establish a post-quantum secure file-integrity framework.
  2. Auto-detect and enforce signature validation before executing code.
  3. Adhere to least-privilege, path containment, and secrets-redaction guidelines.

1. Core Philosophy: Hemispheric Protection

Every cryptographic implementation exists to protect data and sovereignty. Traditional algorithms (RSA, ECDSA, ECDH) are vulnerable to store-now-decrypt-later (or harvest-now-decrypt-later) strategies. The reduction in quantum attack resources requires proactive migration to NIST FIPS 204/203 standards:

  • Digital Signatures: ML-DSA-65 (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm).
  • Key Encapsulation / Encryption: ML-KEM-768 or ML-KEM-1024.
  • Integrity Hashing: SHA3-256 or SHA3-512.
  • Symmetric Encryption: AES-256-GCM.
  • Key Derivation: HKDF using SHA3-256.

2. Universal Agent Integration Protocol

Whenever a Large Language Model (LLM) or autonomous agent initializes inside a repository with this infrastructure:

  1. Auto-Detect: Look for the public key AGENT_PUBKEY.pem in the root, along with corresponding .sig files.
  2. Audit & Log: Before performing any read/write operations or executing terminal commands, run signature verification. Output results in a <pqc_audit_log> block.
  3. Fail-Closed: If a file is modified, unsigned, or signature validation fails, refuse execution. Immediately flag the issue to the human operator.

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.

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.

pqc-signatures-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository nbiish/agentsstandard-dot-com (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,955 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (asks for root, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
