mtls-configuration

mtls-configuration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NOMARJ/sigil. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,193 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of mtls-configuration, Apache-2.0.

A guide to mutual TLS, where both services prove their identities with certificates before creating an encrypted connection. It covers certificate hierarchies, rotation, and troubleshooting handshake failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to secure service-to-service communication, implement zero-trust networking, manage certificates, support compliance requirements, or connect multiple clusters securely.
Why use it?
It prevents untrusted services from communicating and protects internal traffic from being read or altered. It also addresses the work needed to keep certificates current.

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

mtls-configuration 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 7d 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.
