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 | $0.00247 | $0.02337 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00123 | $0.01169 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00049 | $0.00467 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00234 |
Grade A, and why
windows-11-security-baseline 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 9d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Windows 11 Security Baseline
The Windows 11 security baseline is Microsoft's curated set of recommended security settings — hundreds of policies vetted for both security value and compatibility. The baseline is delivered as Intune security baselines (settings catalog edition) or GPO templates from the Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit.
This skill covers what to enable, the Windows 11-specific controls (LAPS, VBS/HVCI, Credential Guard, Smart App Control, PDE), and the rollout pattern.
When to use
Hardening a Windows 11 fleet with Intune (or GPO for legacy estates), with focus on the hardware-rooted and identity-protection capabilities specific to modern Windows.
Do not use this skill for MDE policy authoring (defender-for-endpoint), generic
Intune device management (intune-device-mgmt), or BitLocker-only design
(bitlocker-design).
Core controls — turn on, in this order
| Control | Why first |
|---|---|
| Tamper Protection (MDE) | Without it, all other controls are advisory |
| Secure Boot + TPM 2.0 | Foundation for VBS/HVCI/Credential Guard; required for Win11 |
| VBS / HVCI / Memory Integrity | Kernel-mode code integrity in a hypervisor-isolated container |
| Credential Guard | LSASS isolation; defeats most credential-theft tooling |
| LSA protection | Prevents non-protected processes from injecting into LSASS |
| BitLocker | Disk encryption with TPM-bound startup |
| Personal Data Encryption (PDE) | Per-file encryption tied to user sign-in (kicks in after first sign-in) |
| Windows Hello for Business | Replaces password-based local sign-in |
| Windows LAPS (modern) | Local admin password rotation, Entra-backed |
| Smart App Control | Default-deny code execution on clean-installed Win11 |
| WDAC / App Control for Business | Mature app-control on managed estate |
| Controlled Folder Access + Exploit Protection | ASR-adjacent host hardening |
| Removable storage policies | USB exfil control |
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-11-security-baseline is a skill published in the GitHub repository vinayaklatthe/microsoft-security-skills (173 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 247 tokens to every session and 2,337 once invoked, about $0.0012 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
