What it does

Cyber Authorization is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Validates cyber exercise authorization, scope, exclusions, runtime controls, expiry, stop and restart gates. Use when planning or reviewing authorized security activity, scope drift, or unsupported execution environments.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/runtime-authorization-matrix.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authorization and RBAC. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing authorized security activity
  • Unsupported execution environments

Example prompts

  • “Use the cyber-authorization skill to validate cyber exercise authorization, scope, exclusions, runtime controls, expiry, stop and restart gates”
  • “/cyber-authorization”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Classify request: offline planning, evidence review, or live action.
  2. Resolve authorization record: engagement_scope_ref, accountable owner, approved actions, exclusions, window, stop/restart terms.
  3. Confirm runtime support for tools, credentials, filesystem, network, logging, and cancellation.
  4. Recheck expiry, exclusions, target identity, and scope drift immediately before each live action.
  5. Stop on expiry, drift, missing control, unsafe data, or operator stop; record reason and time.
  6. Restart only after a fresh gate and explicit restart authority.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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

Cyber Authorization loads about 627 tokens when it runs, and up to ~942 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~627
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~942

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.

Cyber Authorization

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Gate live action with documented authority and host-enforced controls; keep offline planning available.

Structure

text
cyber-authorization/
├── SKILL.md
├── references/runtime-authorization-matrix.md
└── evals/evals.json

Workflow

  1. Classify request: offline planning, evidence review, or live action.
  2. Resolve authorization record: engagement_scope_ref, accountable owner, approved actions, exclusions, window, stop/restart terms.
  3. Confirm runtime support for tools, credentials, filesystem, network, logging, and cancellation.
  4. Recheck expiry, exclusions, target identity, and scope drift immediately before each live action.
  5. Stop on expiry, drift, missing control, unsafe data, or operator stop; record reason and time.
  6. Restart only after a fresh gate and explicit restart authority.

Rules

  • Unsupported runtime blocks live action; it never blocks safe offline analysis or plan drafting.
  • Markdown records intent; host runtime enforces permissions, credentials, network, filesystem, and cancellation.
  • Gate production changes independently; no operator self-approves promotion.
  • Treat credentials, real targets, malware, exfiltration, and destructive commands as out of scope here.
  • Carry shared evidence fields from cyber-evidence. Evidence record uses engagement_scope_ref, skill_version, source, observed_at, finding_status, evidence_refs, limitations, and accountable_owner.

Anti-Patterns

  • No implied consent: A ticket, chat, or plan is not authorization.
  • No stale scope: Do not continue after expiry or scope drift.
  • No unsupported execution: Plan safely; block live action when controls are absent.
  • No self-approval: Separate requester, operator, and approver roles.
