What it does

Msp Security is an agent skill from RTFM-IT-Services-LLC/msp-claude-skills. Use this skill for security standards at your managed IT services (MSP) business, in both directions: the baseline every managed client must meet (MFA, endpoint protection, email security, backups, admin access, offboarding) and how the MSP secures itself (RMM hardening, the credential vault, admin separation, partner-delegated admin access into client tenants, our own devices). Trigger on "security baseline", "security standard", "harden this tenant", "is this client secure enough", "security assessment", "cyber…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/client-baseline.md`, `references/compliance-overlays.md` and `references/msp-house-security.md`).

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Backup and disaster recovery, Customer support and Customer success. The repository describes itself as: A collection of MSP claude skills for MSPs.

When your agent uses it

  • Security standards at your managed IT services (MSP) business
  • In both directions: the baseline every managed client must meet (MFA
  • Endpoint protection
  • Offboarding) and how the MSP secures itself (RMM hardening

Example prompts

  • “security baseline”
  • “security standard”
  • “harden this tenant”
  • “/msp-security”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The client baseline: the controls every managed client environment must have, how
  2. The house standard: how {{COMPANY_NAME}} protects itself. An MSP holds the keys to every

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d4c8213. 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

Msp Security loads about 4.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 241 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,516 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~241
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,516 words (~4,764 tokens).

“Defaults you must review: the specific tiers, thresholds, cadences, and review rules in this skill and its reference files are shipped example defaults from a working MSP. Review and replace them with your own before anything goes client-facing (see Setup…”
