phishing-overview

Phishing / social-engineering catalog for the Phisher agent. Use ONLY when the engagement RoE authorizes a phishing engagement. Covers pretext design, GoPhish campaigns, evilginx2 MFA-bypass proxying, O365 credential/token harvest, lookalike domains, and the mandatory blue-team deconfliction handshake.

Quality

Content

78%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a lean, well-structured catalog with explicit safety gates (RoE gating, deconfliction hard gate before the first send, and a concrete failsafe) and specific operational details. Its main gaps are the absence of executable commands for the failsafe steps and an only-implied ordering of the overall engagement workflow.

Suggestions

Number the end-to-end engagement workflow (pretext → lookalike domain/DNS → infrastructure → lure-deconfliction ack → launch → tracking → failsafe) so the sequence is explicit rather than implied by the unordered playbook table.

Add the concrete failsafe mechanics — the GoPhish API call to pause the campaign and the nginx change to return 502 on the phishlet path — so the wind-down steps are copy-paste executable.

Drop or resolve the 'Soundwave's phishing template' aside; it references something undefined in this skill and spends tokens without adding navigational value.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense and operational ('pause the GoPhish campaign, return 502 on the evilginx2 phishlet', the routing diagram, the SPF/DKIM/DMARC requirement), but a few lines explain what Claude already knows — 'Phishing real employees without written authorization is a crime' and 'SPF / DKIM / DMARC must be correct on the sender domain or modern inboxes drop the mail' — plus the undefined 'Soundwave's phishing template' aside. Minor trimmable instances place it at anchor 4 rather than anchor 5's every-token-earns-its-place; well above anchor 3 since no section is padded.

4 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, specific directives are present: the engagement header 'X-Decepticon-Eng: <slug>', 'return 502 on the evilginx2 phishlet', 'wind down within 5 minutes', and 'TLS via Let's Encrypt + acme.sh'. Not 5: the failsafe and campaign steps stop at named actions without executable commands or API calls (e.g., how to pause a GoPhish campaign or repoint DNS); not 3 because the guidance is specific and directive rather than pseudocode-level.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Explicit validation checkpoints exist for this batch-send operation — the RoE gating paragraph and 'The lure-deconfliction skill is a hard gate before the first send — skipping it is a critical RoE violation' — so the destructive/batch cap does not apply, and the failsafe is a triggered, ordered sequence with a time bound. Not 5: the overall engagement sequence across the playbook table (pretext → domain → infra → send) is only implicit; not 3 because the safety-critical ordering constraints are explicitly stated.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

This is a textbook clear-overview catalog: a gating summary, a playbook table signaling one-level-deep references with a purpose for each ('Design the pretext + target shortlist from OSINT', 'MANDATORY blue-team acknowledgment...'), and detail appropriately split into the sub-skills. No nested references and no inlined content that belongs elsewhere; navigation is easy via the table, matching anchor 5 on all criteria.

Description

83%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description that enumerates concrete capabilities with named tools and includes an explicit authorization-based 'Use ONLY when' clause. Its main gaps are a few missing natural trigger variations and a when-clause framed as a permission gate rather than task-oriented triggers.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description enumerates six concrete capability areas with named tools — 'pretext design, GoPhish campaigns, evilginx2 MFA-bypass proxying, O365 credential/token harvest, lookalike domains, and the mandatory blue-team deconfliction handshake' — covering the full engagement lifecycle from pretext to deconfliction. Not 4: there is no noticeable coverage gap within the phishing domain it claims.

5 / 5

Completeness

Both parts are answered: the 'what' is explicit ('Phishing / social-engineering catalog for the Phisher agent... Covers pretext design... deconfliction handshake') and the 'when' is explicit ('Use ONLY when the engagement RoE authorizes a phishing engagement'). Not 5: the when-clause is an authorization gate rather than concrete task triggers (e.g., 'use when asked to plan or launch a phishing campaign'), so it does not match anchor 5's 'concrete trigger phrases'; not 3 because the 'Use when' clause is present, not merely implied.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural operator vocabulary is present — 'phishing / social-engineering', 'GoPhish', 'evilginx2', 'MFA-bypass', 'lookalike domains', 'credential/token harvest' — exactly the terms a red-team user would say. A few common variations are missing ('spear phishing', 'lure', 'phishing campaign', 'credential harvesting' as a standalone phrase), so it falls short of anchor 5's comprehensive synonym coverage but is well above anchor 3's partial coverage.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche with distinct triggers: tool names ('GoPhish', 'evilginx2'), 'O365 credential/token harvest', and the scoping 'for the Phisher agent' make it highly distinguishable from generic email, OSINT, or initial-access skills with minimal conflict risk.
