What it does

Performing Privileged Account Discovery is an agent skill from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills. Discovers and inventories privileged accounts across enterprise infrastructure, including domain admins, local admins, service accounts, database admins, cloud IAM roles, and application admin accounts, using automated scanning and risk classification. Use when building a privileged account inventory, onboarding accounts to a PAM solution, or scoping which accounts need privileged-access controls.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md` and `scripts/agent.py`).

It sits in Security, covering Authorization and RBAC and Legal risk assessment. The repository describes itself as: 817 structured cybersecurity skills for AI agents · Mapped to 6 frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF 2.0, MITRE ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF & MITRE F3 (Fight Fraud) · agentskills.io…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Building a privileged account inventory
  • Onboarding accounts to a PAM solution
  • Scoping which accounts need privileged-access controls

Example prompts

  • “Use the performing-privileged-account-discovery skill to discover and inventories privileged accounts across enterprise infrastructure, including…”
  • “/performing-privileged-account-discovery”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Performing Privileged Account Discovery loads about 657 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 201 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~657
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
