754 security playbooks for AI agents that can't Google 'Volatility3 plugins'

A structured knowledge base that turns generic LLMs into security analysts by feeding them framework-mapped skills instead of hoping they hallucinate the right commands.

What it does This repo packages 754 cybersecurity skills as structured Markdown files following the agentskills.io standard. Each skill includes YAML frontmatter for fast agent discovery and step-by-step workflows for execution. The idea: instead of an AI agent guessing which Volatility3 plugin to run or missing LSASS access patterns, it loads a pre-vetted playbook written by actual practitioners.

The interesting bit Every skill maps simultaneously to five frameworks — MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, MITRE D3FEND, and NIST AI RMF. The README claims no other open-source skills library does this. The progressive disclosure architecture is clever: ~30 tokens to scan a skill’s frontmatter, 500–2,000 to load the full workflow, so agents can search all 754 without context-window bankruptcy.

Key highlights

  • 26 security domains covered, from cloud forensics to OT/ICS (though Deception Technology has just 2 skills)
  • Validated against MITRE ATT&CK v19.1 using the official Python library; zero revoked or deprecated IDs
  • Works with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and any agentskills.io-compatible platform
  • Apache 2.0 licensed; install via npx skills add or plain git clone
  • Includes helper scripts, reference mappings, and report templates per skill

Caveats

  • The project is explicitly not affiliated with Anthropic PBC despite the name — it’s community-built
  • The GARS-2026 survey and Casky.ai playground are side projects by the same author; the playground requires a waitlist
  • Some framework version numbers differ between README sections (v18 vs v19.1 for ATT&CK), suggesting the docs may not be perfectly synchronized

Verdict Security teams already using AI agents for triage or forensics should grab this — it’s essentially a staffed SOC’s tribal knowledge, serialized. If you’re not running agentic workflows yet, this is a very detailed glimpse of what you’re missing, but the value only materializes when your LLM can actually call tools and execute steps.
