planning-validation-testing
Designs a comprehensive testing approach to validate detection effectiveness. Produces positive and negative test procedures, an evaluation metrics framework, an Atomic Red Team test plan, and an iterative tuning strategy. Use after detection logic is designed to plan how to verify the detection fires correctly and doesn't produce excessive false positives.
Mapping Data Sources
Maps detection requirements to concrete data sources and field-level telemetry. Produces a prioritized data source list, field mapping table, visibility gap analysis, and logging configuration requirements. Use after a detection objective is defined to determine what logs and fields the detection logic will depend on.
assembling-detection-blueprint
Assembles all prior detection engineering outputs into a single deployment-ready detection blueprint document. Combines threat context, detection logic, data requirements, validation procedures, response guidance, and metadata into a structured markdown package. Use as the final step after skills 1-5 are complete to produce a shareable detection artifact.
profiling-environment-baseline
Documents organization-specific data schemas, tooling inventory, and known-noisy infrastructure to pre-tune detections for a specific environment. Produces a reusable exclusion baseline, data schema reference, and environment-specific tuning parameters. Use before detection logic design when the environment has unique configurations, known scanners, or specific field naming conventions.
defining-detection-objective
Translates threat research into an actionable detection goal with clear scope boundaries. Defines detection hypothesis, noise tolerance targets, success criteria, and benign behavior exclusions. Use after threat research is complete to establish what the detection will alert on and what it will exclude before designing logic.
