What it does

Openhound is an agent skill from SpecterOps/ConfigManBearPig. Use for all OpenHound collector work, including planning, graph schema, source collection, assets, lookup/preproc, registration, and validation.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/add-asset.md`, `references/graph-schema.md` and `references/plan-collector.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Python collector for adding SCCM attack paths to BloodHound with OpenGraph. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • All OpenHound collector work
  • Including planning
  • Source collection

Example prompts

  • “/openhound”

Workflow steps

  3. For broad collector work, or when creating a new collector, read .agents/standards/workflow.md.
  4. Important: Before finishing collector and graph behavior changes read references/validate-extension.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 231575a. 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

Openhound loads about 720 tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 322 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~720
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.5k

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.

OpenHound Development Skill

Use this skill for any OpenHound collector task.

Critical Rules (Always apply)

  1. Read .agents/standards/openhound.md before editing collector code. This includes important standards and best practices for OpenHound collector development that are not repeated in the reference docs.
  2. Based on the requested task, select the matching reference from the routing table. These contain specific rules and examples for different types of collector work.
  3. For broad collector work, or when creating a new collector, read .agents/standards/workflow.md.
  4. Important: Before finishing collector and graph behavior changes read references/validate-extension.md.

Validate collector changes before finishingreferences/validate-extension.md
Routing Rules
  • If the task touches multiple areas, read every matching reference.
  • If adding or changing collector behavior, always read references/validate-extension.md before finishing.
  • If the task involves a new collector or broad redesign, start with references/plan-collector.md.
  • If models use self._lookup, also read references/preproc-lookup.md and references/register-extension.md.
  • If adding a new collected resource, usually read references/source-collection.md, references/add-asset.md, and references/validate-extension.md.
