What it does

Password Recovery is an agent skill from lazyFrogLOL/Harness_Engineering. This skill provides guidance for recovering passwords or sensitive data from disk images, corrupted files, or forensic scenarios. Use this skill when tasked with extracting passwords from disk images, recovering deleted files containing credentials, or performing data forensics to find lost authentication information.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasked with extracting passwords from disk images
  • Recovering deleted files containing credentials
  • Performing data forensics to find lost authentication information

Example prompts

  • “/password-recovery”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Image Analysis and Format Identification
  2. Use Proper Forensic Tools First
  3. Fragment Search (Only After Tool-Based Recovery Fails)
  4. Skipping Forensic Tools
  5. Confirmation Bias in Fragment Assembly
  6. Ignoring Container Format
  7. Incomplete String Extraction
  8. Premature Conclusion

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cae3b25. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Password Recovery loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 669 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 669 words (~1,647 tokens).

“This skill guides agents through password and credential recovery from disk images, file systems, and forensic scenarios. It emphasizes proper forensic tool usage, systematic fragment analysis, and validation of recovered data.”
