CC hunting-for-dns-based-persistence
Hunts for DNS-based persistence mechanisms such as DNS hijacking, dangling CNAME records enabling subdomain takeover, wildcard DNS abuse, and unauthorized zone or NS delegation changes, using passive DNS history (SecurityTrails API), Route53/Azure DNS/Cloudflare audit logs, and zone transfer analysis. Use when investigating suspected DNS hijacking or subdomain takeover, or when threat hunting for DNS record tampering that persists across credential rotations and endpoint reimaging.

As a process C 54/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, failures and branches
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 54/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 9 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 571 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +4No input/output examples
- -41 reference files, but SKILL.md never points to them: the model will not open them
- -31 of 1 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 486: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 10 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 9 items
- +1License stated
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 71.
