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 5.1 | $0.00056 | $0.02872 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.01149 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00574 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00287 |
Grade A, and why
windows-privilege-escalation 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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to windows-privilege-escalation — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

SKILL: Windows Local Privilege Escalation — Expert Attack Playbook
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert Windows privesc techniques. Covers token manipulation, Potato family, service misconfigurations, DLL hijacking, AlwaysInstallElevated, scheduled task abuse, registry autoruns, and named pipe impersonation. Base models miss nuanced privilege prerequisites and OS-version-specific constraints.
0. RELATED ROUTING
Before going deep, consider loading:
- windows-lateral-movement after escalation for pivoting to other hosts
- windows-av-evasion when AV/EDR blocks your privesc tools
- active-directory-kerberos-attacks when the host is domain-joined and you need AD-level escalation
- active-directory-acl-abuse for domain privilege escalation via ACL misconfigurations
Advanced Reference
Also load TOKEN_POTATO_TRICKS.md when you need:
- Detailed Potato family comparison (JuicyPotato → GodPotato evolution)
- OS-version-specific exploit selection
- Required privileges and protocol details per variant
Also load UAC_BYPASS_METHODS.md when you need:
- UAC bypass technique matrix (fodhelper, eventvwr, sdclt, etc.)
- Auto-elevate binary abuse
- Mock trusted directory tricks

What ships with it
2 files 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.

windows-privilege-escalation is a skill published in the GitHub repository SecurityTalent/bugskill-ai (13 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 2,872 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to windows-privilege-escalation, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
