palisade

palisade is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from palisadeemail/palisade-mcp. It costs 96 tokens per session (1,190 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for checking and fixing email authentication records: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, and BIMI. These are domain settings that help receiving mail services verify who is allowed to send email and detect spoofing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find sending services, draft SPF and DKIM changes, investigate DMARC failures, write or tighten DMARC settings, and monitor multiple domains with approval for changes.
Why use it?
It helps explain rejected or forged email and reduces uncertainty when tightening a domain's email rules. It can also read DMARC reports, which summarize who sent mail using the domain.

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

palisade 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 yesterday.

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.

Palisade - email authentication for AI agents

Palisade is an agentic DMARC platform for IT teams and MSPs. It finds every service sending as a domain, drafts the SPF and DKIM fixes each one needs, reads DMARC aggregate reports, and moves the domain to p=reject with a person approving each step.

The canonical copy of this skill is served by the product at https://www.palisade.email/.well-known/agent-skills/palisade/SKILL.md and is generated from the same facts the product site publishes. This file mirrors it for skills.sh and for the plugin in this repository.

When to use

Use this skill when the user or task involves any of the following:

  • A domain's mail is failing or being spoofed - "Why is our mail going to spam?", "Someone is sending as our domain"
  • Setting up or tightening DMARC - "Write a DMARC record", "Move us to p=reject", "Do we pass Google and Microsoft's sender requirements?"
  • Diagnosing SPF or DKIM - "Our SPF has too many lookups", "Which DKIM selector does our CRM use?"
  • Reading DMARC reports - "Who sent mail as us last week?", "Which sources fail alignment?"
  • Monitoring many domains - an IT team or MSP that wants every client domain watched and remediated

Do NOT use this skill to send or receive email, to look up a mailbox, or for the unrelated Palisade Identity wallet product.

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.
