At a glance

Analyze Windows driver trust, callbacks, IRQL, kernel memory, DSE, PatchGuard, VBS/HVCI, ETW, crash evidence, and build-specific internals for authorized game-security research.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Windows Kernel Security is an agent skill from gmh5225/awesome-game-security. Analyze Windows driver trust, callbacks, IRQL, kernel memory, DSE, PatchGuard, VBS/HVCI, ETW, crash evidence, and build-specific internals for authorized game-security research.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/drivers-and-observation.md`, `references/foundations-and-security.md` and `references/memory-and-forensics.md`).

The repository describes itself as: awesome game security [Welcome to PR]. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/windows-kernel-security”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8502288. 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

Windows Kernel Security loads about 317 tokens when it runs, and up to ~9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 95 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~317
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9k

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.

Windows kernel security

Match undocumented structures, offsets, globals, and allocator behavior to the exact Windows build and symbols. Separate documented contracts, observed state, and inference.

Topic routing

Use dma-attack-techniques for device-originated memory access and game-security-research-rigor for version-sensitive conclusions.

What does Windows Kernel Security need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Windows Kernel Security is instructions for the agent only.

Does Windows Kernel Security access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Windows Kernel Security safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Windows Kernel Security use?

Windows Kernel Security is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Windows Kernel Security use?

About 317 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 8.7k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
