honeytokens-deception from miosa-osa/osa is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Honeytoken design and deployment for detecting intrusion attempts: token kinds (opaque, API-key-shaped, credential-shaped, beacon), lifecycle management (create, activate, rotate, revoke, cleanup), HMAC-signed trigger verification with nonce and replay protection, environment-scoped authorization, audit trails for every action, and alert-sink integration. Use when planting decoy credentials or artifacts to detect attackers, designing canary tokens for infrastructure or repos, or building…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Honeytokens & Deception Derived from T3MP3ST's `src/deception/honeytokens.ts` (Apache-2.0). A honeytoken is a deliberately fake asset whose ONLY purpose is to be used by an attacker — any use is a high-fidelity intrusion signal. ## 1. Token kinds and where each belongs | Kind | Shape | Plant where | |---|---|---| | `opaque` | random 32-byte string | files, DNS TXT-ish records, config comments | | `api-key` | provider-shaped key string | source repos, CI configs, docs, S3 buckets | | `credential` | username + password pair | database dumps, config files, "leftover" notes | | `beacon` | URL/hostname that logs hits | email signatures, PDFs, spreadsheets, DNS | Placement rule: the token must be *reachable by an attacker but not used by anyone legitimate*. A honeytoken in active use is noise, not detection. ## 2. Lifecycle — every state transition is explicit and audited ``` created → active → (rotated → active) → revoked → cleaned ``` - **created**: token generated (32 random bytes, base64url for output), metadata recorded (`label`, `kind`, `environment`, `generation`, timestamps). Not yet armed. …

How to install
mdr add miosa-osa/osa/honeytokens-deception@sha256:0c71b664c6d50534The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.e13b6b8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
