What it does

Digital Forensics is an agent skill from zhaoxuya520/reverse-skill. Use for authorized digital forensics including memory dumps, disk timelines, PCAP investigation, artifact triage, and IR evidence preservation.

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/forensics-triage.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Digital forensics. The repository describes itself as: Reverse Engineering / Authorized Penetration Testing / Security Research Skill Router Pack AI-powered routing + On-demand toolchain bootstrapping + Self-evolving knowledge base…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Authorized digital forensics including memory dumps
  • PCAP investigation
  • Artifact triage
  • IR evidence preservation

Example prompts

  • “/digital-forensics”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 保全
  2. 内存
  3. 主机伪影
  4. 网络

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cab634b. 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

Digital Forensics loads about 389 tokens when it runs, and up to ~458 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 94 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~389
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~458

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: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

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.

Digital Forensics & IR Artifacts

ACTION REQUIRED(读完后立刻执行)

  1. NOW: 读取 ../field-journal/precedent-pentest.md 或组织 IR 授权说明
