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 | $0.00091 | $0.03962 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.01981 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00792 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00396 |
Grade B, and why
configuring-suricata-for-network-monitoring scanned grade B with 2 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Configuring Suricata for Network Monitoring
When to Use
- Deploying a high-performance IDS/IPS capable of multi-threaded packet processing for 10+ Gbps network links
- Monitoring network traffic with protocol-aware inspection for HTTP, TLS, DNS, SMB, and other protocols
- Generating structured EVE JSON logs for direct SIEM ingestion without custom parsers
- Running in inline (IPS) mode to actively block malicious traffic at network choke points
- Combining signature-based detection with protocol anomaly detection and file extraction
Do not use as a standalone security solution without complementary controls, for encrypted traffic inspection without TLS decryption capabilities, or on systems with insufficient CPU/memory for the expected traffic volume.
Prerequisites
- Suricata 7.0+ installed from PPA or source (
suricata --build-info) - Network interface on a span port, tap, or inline bridge for traffic capture
- AF_PACKET or DPDK support for high-performance packet capture
- Emerging Threats Open or Pro ruleset subscription (or Snort Talos rules via oinkcode)
- suricata-update tool for automated rule management
- Elasticsearch/Kibana or Splunk for log analysis and visualization
Workflow
Step 1: Install Suricata and Dependencies
# Install from PPA (Ubuntu/Debian)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oisf/suricata-stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y suricata suricata-update jq
# Verify installation
suricata --build-info | grep -E "Version|AF_PACKET|NFQueue"
# Or install from source for latest features
sudo apt install -y libpcre2-dev build-essential autoconf automake libtool \
libpcap-dev libnet1-dev libyaml-dev libjansson-dev libcap-ng-dev \
libmagic-dev libnetfilter-queue-dev libhiredis-dev rustc cargo cbindgen
git clone https://github.com/OISF/suricata.git
cd suricata && git clone https://github.com/OISF/libhtp.git -b 0.5.x
./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \
--enable-nfqueue --enable-af-packet
make -j$(nproc) && sudo make install install-conf
What ships with it
3 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.

configuring-suricata-for-network-monitoring is a skill published in the GitHub repository Youngmaidainon/Agent-Level-Up (3 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 3,962 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
