CC monitoring-scada-modbus-traffic-anomalies

Monitors Modbus TCP traffic on SCADA and ICS networks to detect anomalous function code usage, unauthorized register writes, and suspicious communication patterns. The analyst uses deep packet inspection with pymodbus, Scapy, and Zeek to baseline normal PLC/RTU communication behavior, then applies statistical and rule-based anomaly detection to identify reconnaissance, parameter manipulation, and denial-of-service attacks targeting Modbus devices on port 502. Activates for requests involving Modbus traffic analysis, SCADA network monitoring, ICS anomaly detection, PLC security monitoring, or OT network threat detection.

How to improve

  1. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
For the model run — optional
  • 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.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning body-long SKILL.md body ≈ 5912 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "domain"
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "subdomain"
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "nist_csf"
  • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "mitre_attack"

Process rating: all ten parameters 63/100

  • 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
  • 30Running it twice. 4 mutating operations with no state check
  • 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (python) that frontmatter does not declare
  • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
  • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
  • 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5912 tokens
  • 100Steps. 70 steps
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

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
  • -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
  • +4Description says when NOT to use the skill
  • +3Description length 627: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 15 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 70 items
  • +3Output format is stated explicitly
  • +4Has examples (8 code blocks)
  • +1License stated

Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 72.
