Security researcher Mahipal Jangra built and open-sourced the largest library of cybersecurity skills for AI agents: 817 practitioner-grade skills across 29 security domains, including threat hunting, digital forensics, incident response, and cloud security.
- The repo is titled "Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills," but its README clarifies it's an independent community project by one person, not affiliated with Anthropic
- The problem it solves: dumping an entire security playbook into a model's context window blows the budget instantly. The library structures the whole discipline into on-demand Skills (standard SKILL.md + scripts/references format), giving agents real depth without wasting context
