name: skill-template description: Template for creating new cybersecurity skills. Provides structure and examples for skill development.

Skill Template

This is a template for creating new Claude Skills for cybersecurity. Replace this content with your specific skill information.

Requirements

List all dependencies required for your skill:

• Python 3.8 or higher
• Required Python packages (list each one)
• External tools or services (if any)
• Minimum permissions needed
• Network access requirements (if any)

Example:

Copypip install requests beautifulsoup4 pandas

Installation

Provide step-by-step installation instructions:

Copy# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Any additional setup steps
# For example, API key configuration, tool installation, etc.

Usage

Basic Usage

Explain the most common use case:

Copypython scripts/main.py input.json

Advanced Usage

Show more complex scenarios:

Copy# Example with multiple options
python scripts/main.py --input input.json --output results.json --format detailed

# Example with directory processing
python scripts/main.py --directory /path/to/files --recursive

Command Line Options

Examples

Example 1: Basic Analysis

Input:

Copy{
  "example": "input",
  "data": "here"
}

Command:

Copypython scripts/main.py examples/sample_input.json

Output:

Copy{
  "result": "analysis output",
  "status": "success",
  "findings": [
    {
      "type": "finding_type",
      "severity": "medium",
      "description": "Description of finding"
    }
  ]
}

Example 2: Advanced Analysis

Input:

Copypython scripts/main.py examples/complex_input.json --format detailed --verbose

Output: Detailed analysis with explanations and recommendations.

Output Format

JSON Output

Copy{
  "metadata": {
    "skill": "skill-name",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "timestamp": "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z",
    "input_file": "input.json"
  },
  "summary": {
    "total_items": 100,
    "processed": 95,
    "errors": 5,
    "warnings": 12
  },
  "results": [
    {
      "item_id": "item-1",
      "status": "success|warning|error",
      "findings": [],
      "recommendations": []
    }
  ],
  "errors": [
    {
      "item_id": "item-6",
      "error_type": "validation_error",
      "message": "Detailed error message"
    }
  ]
}

CSV Output

For tabular data, provide CSV format option:

Copyitem_id,status,severity,finding_type,description
item-1,success,info,compliance,Item meets requirements
item-2,warning,medium,security,Potential security issue detected

Security Considerations

Document important security aspects:

Data Handling

• This skill processes [type of data]
• Sensitive information is [how it's handled]
• Data is [where it's stored/transmitted]
• Recommend using synthetic data for testing

Permissions

• Minimum required permissions: [list permissions]
• Why these permissions are needed
• How to run with minimal privileges

Network Security

• Network connections made: [list destinations]
• Data transmission security: [encryption details]
• Firewall considerations: [required ports/protocols]

Compliance

• Relevant compliance frameworks: [NIST, ISO, etc.]
• Data privacy considerations: [GDPR, CCPA, etc.]
• Audit logging: [what's logged and where]

Error Handling

Common errors and solutions:

Error: "Module not found"

Cause: Missing dependencies Solution:

Copypip install -r requirements.txt

Error: "Permission denied"

Cause: Insufficient file permissions Solution:

Copychmod +r input_file.json

Error: "Invalid input format"

Cause: Input data doesn't match expected format Solution: Check input format against examples

Integration

SIEM Integration

For Splunk:

Copypython scripts/main.py input.json | splunk add oneshot -sourcetype security_analysis

For Elastic:

Copypython scripts/main.py input.json --format json | curl -X POST "localhost:9200/security/_doc" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @-

API Integration

Copyfrom skills.skill_template import SkillTemplate

# Initialize skill
skill = SkillTemplate()

# Process data
result = skill.analyze(input_data)

# Handle results
if result.success:
    print(f"Analysis complete: {result.summary}")
else:
    print(f"Analysis failed: {result.error}")

Pipeline Integration

For CI/CD pipelines:

Copy# GitHub Actions example
- name: Run Security Analysis
  run: |
    python scripts/main.py security-data.json --format json > results.json
    if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then exit 1; fi

Testing

Unit Tests

Copypython -m pytest tests/

Integration Tests

Copypython tests/integration_test.py

Sample Data

Use the provided sample data in the examples/ directory for testing:

• examples/valid_input.json - Valid input that should pass
• examples/invalid_input.json - Invalid input that should fail gracefully
• examples/edge_case.json - Edge cases and boundary conditions

Adding Features

1. Create feature branch
2. Add functionality to appropriate module
3. Add tests for new functionality
4. Update documentation
5. Submit pull request

Code Standards

• Follow PEP 8 style guidelines
• Use type hints for function parameters and returns
• Include docstrings for all functions and classes
• Handle errors gracefully
• Log important operations
• Validate all inputs
• Never log sensitive information

Troubleshooting

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging:

Copypython scripts/main.py input.json --debug

Common Issues

1. Slow Performance: Process smaller batches or optimize data structures
2. Memory Issues: Use streaming for large datasets
3. Network Timeouts: Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
