Hunt for a specific APT/threat actor in your environment. An agent skill from dandye/ai-runbooks.
- Works in 8 steps: Identify Actor & Gather Intelligence → Check SIEM IOC Matches → IOC-Based SIEM Search → …

What it does
Hunt Apt is an agent skill from dandye/ai-runbooks. Hunt for a specific APT/threat actor in your environment. Use when you have a threat actor name or GTI collection ID and want to search for their TTPs and IOCs. Gathers intelligence from GTI, searches SIEM for IOCs and TTP-based indicators, and documents findings.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Security, covering Security operations. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- You have a threat actor name
- GTI collection ID and want to search for their TTPs and IOCs
Example prompts
- “/hunt-apt”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72a6863. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Hunt Apt loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 328 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

APT Threat Hunt Skill
Proactively hunt for TTPs and IOCs associated with a specific Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group based on threat intelligence.
Inputs
THREAT_ACTOR_ID- GTI Collection ID or name of the target APT groupHUNT_TIMEFRAME_HOURS- Lookback period (default: 168 = 7 days)- (Optional)
TARGET_SCOPE_QUERY- UDM query to narrow scope - (Optional)
HUNT_HYPOTHESIS- Specific hypothesis guiding the hunt - (Optional)
HUNT_CASE_ID- SOAR case for tracking
Workflow
Step 1: Identify Actor & Gather Intelligence
If starting with a name:
gti-mcp.search_threat_actors(query="APT_NAME")Then gather comprehensive intelligence:
gti-mcp.get_collection_report(id=THREAT_ACTOR_ID)
gti-mcp.get_collection_mitre_tree(id=THREAT_ACTOR_ID)
gti-mcp.get_collection_timeline_events(id=THREAT_ACTOR_ID)Extract associated IOCs:
gti-mcp.get_entities_related_to_a_collection(id=THREAT_ACTOR_ID, relationship_name="files")
gti-mcp.get_entities_related_to_a_collection(id=THREAT_ACTOR_ID, relationship_name="domains")
gti-mcp.get_entities_related_to_a_collection(id=THREAT_ACTOR_ID, relationship_name="urls")Store as GTI_IOC_LIST.
Step 2: Check SIEM IOC Matches
secops-mcp.get_ioc_matches(hours_back=HUNT_TIMEFRAME_HOURS)Correlate results with GTI_IOC_LIST.
Step 3: IOC-Based SIEM Search
For each IOC type in GTI_IOC_LIST, construct and execute UDM queries:
secops-mcp.search_security_events(
text="UDM query for IOC",
hours_back=HUNT_TIMEFRAME_HOURS
)Document both positive and negative results → IOC_SEARCH_FINDINGS.
Step 4: TTP-Based SIEM Search
Based on MITRE techniques from Step 1:
- Use
gti-mcp.get_threat_intel(query="MITRE technique details")for detection ideas - Formulate TTP-specific UDM queries
- Execute searches over the timeframe
- Combine with
TARGET_SCOPE_QUERYif provided
Document results → TTP_SEARCH_FINDINGS.
Step 5: Enrich Findings
If hits found (IOC_SEARCH_FINDINGS or TTP_SEARCH_FINDINGS):
For each found IOC or entity:
secops-mcp.lookup_entity(entity_value=FOUND_ITEM)
gti-mcp.get_..._report(identifier=FOUND_ITEM)Step 6: Check Related Cases
Use /find-relevant-case with found IOCs and entities.
Step 7: Document & Report
Use /document-in-case (if HUNT_CASE_ID provided).
Use /generate-report with REPORT_TYPE="apt_hunt":
- Hunt objective and hypothesis
- Threat actor summary
- TTPs investigated
- IOCs searched
- SIEM queries used
- Findings (positive AND negative)
- Recommendations
Step 8: Escalate or Conclude
Confirmed threat found: → Escalate to Incident Response → Create incident case
No threat found: → Document negative findings → Conclude hunt
Required Outputs
After completing this skill, you MUST report these outputs:
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
ACTOR_IOCS | IOCs associated with threat actor from GTI |
ACTOR_TTPS | TTPs from threat actor profile (MITRE techniques) |
HUNT_RESULTS | SIEM search results for actor indicators |
DISCOVERED_INDICATORS | IOCs found in environment matching actor profile |
CONFIRMED_IOCS | IOCs confirmed malicious via GTI enrichment |
Key Intelligence Sources
| Source | Tool |
|---|---|
| Actor Profile | get_collection_report |
| TTPs | get_collection_mitre_tree |
| Timeline | get_collection_timeline_events |
| Related IOCs | get_entities_related_to_a_collection |
| Technique Details | get_threat_intel |
Critical Requirements
- Document ALL queries used (for reproducibility)
- Report negative findings (no hits is valuable intel)
- Don't report false positives as confirmed threats
