Portable repository-scoped skill: Adversarially test a design, implementation, agent workflow, or tool surface for realistic failure and abuse paths within authorized scope. Defined entirely by SKILL.md. - SKILL.md — canonical definition: frontmatter (name: red-team, description), a five-step workflow (assets, trust boundaries, and out-of-scope actions → enumerate abuse and failure paths → exercise the highest-risk paths with real components → record evidence and severity → re-test mitigations), and the reporting rule (findings first, ordered by risk). - README.md — human signpost.
Where files are headingNew AGENTS.md files have more rules about keeping secrets out of the code, and fewer about code style.
Of the AGENTS.md files we read, the 31,542 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.
In this repository47 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 32
Use for security, reliability, permission, and prompt-injection review.
- Distinctive: line 35
Never weaken the authorized-scope boundary or the ban on destructive actions.
- Distinctive: line 37
Keep the distinction between confirmed findings and hypotheses, including the "not exploitable under current scope" outcome.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 40,246 AGENTS.md files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Purpose
Portable repository-scoped skill: Adversarially test a design, implementation,
agent workflow, or tool surface for realistic failure and abuse paths within
authorized scope. Defined entirely by SKILL.md.
Key Files
SKILL.md— canonical definition: frontmatter (name: red-team,description), a five-step workflow (assets, trust boundaries, and out-of-scope actions → enumerate abuse and failure paths → exercise the highest-risk paths with real components → record evidence and severity → re-test mitigations), and the reporting rule (findings first, ordered by risk).README.md— human signpost.
Dependencies
- Claude Code wrapper:
.claude/skills/red-team/SKILL.mdonly points back to this file. - Third step of the composition order in
docs/agents/agent-interoperability.md,
after
systems-thinkingand beforemcp-tool-use. - Its "real components over mocks" step matches the repository zero-mock policy in ../../../AGENTS.md.
- Parent: ../AGENTS.md
Development Guidelines
- Use for security, reliability, permission, and prompt-injection review.
- This is the canonical copy; runtime wrappers such as
.claude/skills/red-team/stay pointers — change the workflow here. - Never weaken the authorized-scope boundary or the ban on destructive actions; those lines are the skill's safety contract.
- Keep the distinction between confirmed findings and hypotheses, including the "not exploitable under current scope" outcome.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
