Safety notes

  • This is an independent community project, not an official Anthropic project, even though the upstream repository name contains `Anthropic`.
  • Cybersecurity skills can include dual-use topics such as penetration testing, red teaming, malware analysis, identity-abuse investigation, cloud breach investigation, and vulnerability management.
  • Use these skills only for authorized defensive work, sanctioned assessments, training labs, or internal security operations.
  • Do not use the skills to attack third-party systems, evade detection, misuse secrets, deploy malware, persist in environments, or bypass access controls.
  • Keep potentially destructive actions, exploit validation, live cloud changes, quarantine operations, and report publication behind human review.

Privacy notes

  • Security workflows can expose memory dumps, disk images, network captures, logs, SIEM queries, secrets embedded in evidence, malware samples, customer records, internal hostnames, IP addresses, cloud subscription IDs, and incident timelines.
  • Agent prompts and tool calls may reveal sensitive indicators, detections, internal controls, incident scope, and defensive gaps to the model provider or connected tooling.
  • Redact secrets, customer data, private infrastructure details, and regulated evidence before sharing prompts, examples, issues, PRs, screenshots, or generated reports.
  • Follow evidence handling, chain-of-custody, malware containment, legal, and disclosure requirements for the environment being investigated.

Prerequisites

  • An Agent Skills compatible host or local skill installer.
  • Explicit authorization for the systems, logs, samples, accounts, networks, cloud resources, or artifacts being analyzed.
  • A defined defensive, incident-response, forensics, audit, training, or approved red-team objective before loading sensitive skills.
  • Relevant security tools installed only when a specific skill requires them, such as Volatility 3, SIEM access, cloud CLIs, malware-analysis sandboxes, or forensic utilities.
  • Data-handling rules for evidence, customer data, malware samples, credentials, logs, and generated reports.

About this resource

Community Cybersecurity Agent Skills

mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills is an independent community library of cybersecurity Agent Skills. The README states that it contains 754 structured skills across 26 security domains, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, MITRE D3FEND, and NIST AI RMF.

Use this listing for the community skills library itself. It is not affiliated with Anthropic PBC; the upstream README explicitly labels it as an independent community project.

Knowledge Freshness

Security frameworks, tools, cloud audit APIs, detection logic, malware-analysis methods, and attack techniques change frequently. The README references current framework coverage, but users should verify framework versions, tool commands, cloud APIs, detections, and legal constraints before applying a workflow to real evidence or live systems.

Use these skills as structured workflow guidance for authorized security work, then check current vendor docs, security-tool manuals, organizational policy, and local evidence-handling requirements.

Retrieval Sources

This listing is grounded in:

  • The upstream repository README.
  • The upstream license file.
  • Representative skill files for memory forensics, Azure activity-log analysis, and phishing email-header investigation.
  • The public project website.
  • Current GitHub repository metadata.

Core Workflow

Install the skills library:

npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills

Update installed skills:

npx skills update

Then invoke it with an authorized, scoped security task:

Use the community cybersecurity Agent Skills for this authorized incident-response investigation.

Before executing any workflow, confirm the target scope, authorization, allowed tools, evidence-handling rules, and whether the work is defensive analysis, training, audit, or a sanctioned assessment.

Capability Scope

The README describes 26 security domains:

Domain Example scope
Digital forensics Memory, disk, browser, timeline, and artifact analysis
Incident response Containment, ransomware response, breach analysis, and recovery
Threat hunting Hypothesis-driven hunts, log analysis, and behavioral analytics
SOC operations Alert triage, SIEM correlation, escalation, and metrics
Malware analysis Static and dynamic analysis, sandboxing, and reverse engineering
Cloud security AWS, Azure, GCP hardening, CSPM, and cloud forensics
Container security Kubernetes, image scanning, runtime detection, and container forensics
API and web security OWASP API and web application security workflows
Identity and access IAM, PAM, zero trust, Okta, and SailPoint workflows
DevSecOps CI/CD security, Terraform auditing, and code-signing checks
Compliance CIS, SOC 2, regulatory, and governance workflows

The repository structure described by the README uses per-skill folders with SKILL.md, optional references/, optional scripts/, and optional assets/ for report templates or checklists.

Production Rules

Use these skills with security-operations discipline:

  • Confirm authorization before loading or executing a skill against any system, sample, account, network, log source, cloud resource, or customer artifact.
  • Prefer defensive and investigative workflows over exploit execution.
  • Keep malware samples, memory dumps, disk images, pcap files, and secrets embedded in evidence in controlled environments.
  • Treat scripts and commands from community skills as untrusted until reviewed.
  • Record evidence provenance and preserve chain-of-custody where required.
  • Redact sensitive data before sharing summaries or generated reports.
  • Separate training-lab use from production incident response.
  • Do not publish exploit instructions, live secrets, customer indicators, or internal defensive gaps in public artifacts.

Use Cases

  • Use a DFIR skill to guide memory forensics with Volatility 3 in an authorized incident investigation.
  • Ask an agent to map a finding to MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, ATLAS, D3FEND, or AI RMF categories for reporting.
  • Guide SOC triage workflows for phishing, suspicious authentication, cloud log analysis, or endpoint alerts.
  • Use cloud security skills to inspect Azure, AWS, or GCP evidence inside an approved tenant or lab.
  • Use training-lab scenarios to teach analysts how to structure investigation steps without exposing production data.

Source Review

  • The README states the project is an independent community project and not affiliated with Anthropic PBC.

Safety notesThis is an independent community project, not an official Anthropic project, even though the upstream repository name contains `Anthropic`. Cybersecurity skills can include dual-use topics such as penetration testing, red teaming, malware analysis, identity-abuse investigation, cloud breach investigation, and vulnerability management. Use these skills only for authorized defensive work, sanctioned assessments, training labs, or internal security operations. Do not use the skills to attack third-party systems, evade detection, misuse secrets, deploy malware, persist in environments, or bypass access controls. Keep potentially destructive actions, exploit validation, live cloud changes, quarantine operations, and report publication behind human review..NET build, test, upgrade, package, template, publish, and migration tasks can modify project files, lock files, generated code, packages, app settings, and deployment artifacts. Diagnostics skills may suggest collecting traces, dumps, counters, crash data, MSBuild binlogs, or performance profiles; collect those artifacts only with explicit approval and storage controls. MCP server skills can expose local code, files, APIs, credentials, or production services as callable tools; review tool descriptions, parameter validation, authorization, and transport choice before connecting clients. NuGet and publish workflows can push packages or artifacts to public or private feeds; verify package IDs, versions, API keys, feed targets, and release policy before publishing. Upgrade and modernization guidance should be verified against each application's framework support window, deployment target, package compatibility, and rollback plan.The repository is explicitly presented as demonstration and educational material; behavior available in Claude products can differ from repository examples. Document skills can read, transform, and create files such as PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint decks, and spreadsheets, so review generated artifacts before sharing or publishing them. The MCP builder skill guides agents through creating MCP servers and evaluations; generated servers still need security review, least-privilege tool design, authentication review, and transport testing. The skill creator workflow can generate instructions, scripts, references, and assets; review all generated resources before installing them into an agent host.Azure Skills can guide agents through live cloud actions including infrastructure generation, validation, deployment, diagnostics, cost analysis, RBAC, Kubernetes, storage, AI services, and migration work. The included MCP configuration starts the Azure MCP server, which can expose structured tools across Azure services when the local account is authenticated. Deployment skills require plan and validation phases before live deployment. Do not skip `azure-prepare` or `azure-validate` steps when the upstream skill requires them. Live Azure changes can create cost, modify production resources, change access control, deploy workloads, query logs, or expose service data. Keep human review around write operations. For sovereign clouds, configure the Azure MCP server cloud argument explicitly instead of assuming Azure Public Cloud.
Privacy notesSecurity workflows can expose memory dumps, disk images, network captures, logs, SIEM queries, secrets embedded in evidence, malware samples, customer records, internal hostnames, IP addresses, cloud subscription IDs, and incident timelines. Agent prompts and tool calls may reveal sensitive indicators, detections, internal controls, incident scope, and defensive gaps to the model provider or connected tooling. Redact secrets, customer data, private infrastructure details, and regulated evidence before sharing prompts, examples, issues, PRs, screenshots, or generated reports. Follow evidence handling, chain-of-custody, malware containment, legal, and disclosure requirements for the environment being investigated..NET repositories may contain connection strings, appsettings secrets, user secrets, certificates, environment variables, telemetry keys, logs, traces, dumps, package credentials, and production data. MSBuild binlogs, crash dumps, profiler output, and test artifacts can contain source paths, dependency graphs, request data, exception payloads, configuration values, and environment details. MCP servers created with these skills may forward prompts and tool inputs to local processes, HTTP services, databases, cloud APIs, or third-party model providers depending on the implementation. Keep private NuGet credentials, signing keys, deployment secrets, customer data, dumps, and proprietary source out of public prompts, issues, pull requests, and shared artifacts.Skill usage can expose documents, spreadsheets, slide decks, prompts, company workflows, brand guidelines, MCP designs, API details, and generated artifacts to Claude or the configured model/runtime. Do not upload or commit customer documents, regulated data, private brand assets, secrets, credentials, or unreleased business plans unless the environment and account policy allow that data. When creating custom skills, check bundled scripts, references, and assets for private data before sharing a repository, plugin, or ZIP archive.Azure work can expose subscription IDs, tenant IDs, resource group names, resource inventories, cost data, log queries, Application Insights telemetry, storage paths, RBAC assignments, model deployment names, and cloud architecture details. Authenticated MCP tools can read or operate on live Azure and Foundry resources according to the local account's permissions. Keep Azure credentials, service principals, connection strings, keys, SAS tokens, deployment outputs, logs with customer data, and private topology details out of prompts, commits, issue comments, screenshots, and shared reports. Review Microsoft, MCP host, model provider, and organization retention policies before routing production telemetry, cost data, or customer-sensitive resource context through an agent.
