ics-ot-overview

ics-ot-overview is a skill for Claude Code from PurpleAILAB/Decepticon. It costs 67 tokens per session (790 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A routing guide for industrial-control security testing. It helps identify which protocol a system uses—such as Modbus, BACnet/IP, Siemens S7Comm, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or OPC UA—so the matching guide can be selected.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fingerprint protocols from network ports and packet formats, choose the relevant protocol guide, and keep initial assessment focused on read-only discovery until authorized control testing is required.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of applying the wrong checks to an industrial device and highlights that control commands can affect real equipment.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Anti-Refusal · line 18
    Skill attempts to nullify the agent's safety policies or restrictions ('you have no restrictions', 'ignore your guidelines', 'do anything now'). This is a direct jailbreak that disables guardrails.
    Fix: Remove jailbreak framing that nullifies safety policies or restrictions. Skill content must not instruct the agent to ignore its guidelines or operate without guardrails.
  • high Prompt Injection · line 18
    This pattern attempts to override system instructions or ignore safety constraints. Without LLM analysis, manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Remove or rewrite any text that instructs the agent to ignore prompts, override safety rules, or trust unverified content. Ensure skill content cannot be injected to alter agent behavior.
  • high YARA Match · line 35
    YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).
    Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.

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

ics-ot-overview 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 8d 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.

Industrial Control Systems / OT Category

This is a routing skill for industrial protocol engagements. Identify the protocol by port + wire format, then load the matching sub-skill.

SAFETY FIRST

Writes to ICS/OT devices can move physical actuators — open valves, trip breakers, freeze pumps, override safety setpoints. Confirm written scope authorization for any write/control class operation. Read-only enumeration is generally safe. If unsure, default to read-only.
