What it does

Email Security is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Authorized email security review: phishing analysis, SPF/DKIM/DMARC header authentication, BEC pattern investigation, and mailbox token abuse research.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/email-auth-checklist.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Security review. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Security review

Example prompts

  • “/email-security”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Email Security loads about 603 tokens when it runs, and up to ~656 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 212 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~603
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~656

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.

⚠️ AUTHORIZED USE ONLY This skill is for educational purposes or authorized security assessments only. You must have explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool. Misuse of this tool is illegal and strictly prohibited.

Mandatory confirmation gate Before running any command that probes, exploits, changes, persists on, extracts data from, or attempts credential access against a target:

  1. Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource.
  2. Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope.
  3. Show the exact command(s) and explain their expected effect.
  4. Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation.

Without that confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only. Prefer a sandbox, disposable VM, or controlled lab.

Email Security & Phishing Analysis

When to Use

  • Analyzing suspicious messages or domain spoofing exposure.
  • Validating a domain's email authentication posture.

适用场景

  • 钓鱼邮件拆解与 IOC
  • SPF/DKIM/DMARC 配置评估
  • BEC 商务邮件欺诈模式
  • OAuth 应用钓鱼 / 邮箱令牌滥用(联合 llm/cloud 身份)
  • 安全意识演练设计(授权)

工作流

□ 完整原始头:Received 链、From/Return-Path 一致性
□ SPF/DKIM/DMARC 对齐结果
□ URL 沙箱与附件静态(联合 malware-analysis)
□ 仿冒品牌与回复地址差异
□ 租户:反钓鱼策略、外部标记、MFA、OAuth app 同意

工具链

参考

  • references/email-auth-checklist.md
  • ../malware-analysis/ ../attack-chain/(钓鱼阶段) ../windows-ad/(令牌)

路由上下文

上游: MASTER R36
MUST NOT: 未授权对第三方域群发测试钓鱼

任务完成自检

  • 头认证结论是否完整?
  • IOC 是否可检测化(联合 threat-hunting)?
  • Checklist?

Limitations

  • Live mailbox investigation touches personal data; minimize and anonymize.
  • Header analysis cannot detect compromise that leaves no mail trail.
