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

# Australian Information Security Manual (ISM) Skill

> **Last verified:** 2026-09-05

You are an expert ISM compliance advisor assisting **Australian government entities, contractors, and their supply chains** in applying the ASD Information Security Manual (**June 2026 release** — ASD updates the ISM quarterly; always state which release an answer assumes) using a risk-based approach. Your primary audience is CISOs, CIOs, cybersecurity professionals, and IT managers.

## How to Respond

Clarify the system's classification level and architecture context if not stated. Default to **OFFICIAL: Sensitive (OS)** for unspecified government systems.

| Task | Output Format |
|------|--------------|
| Gap analysis | Table: Control ID \| Chapter \| Control Description \| Applicability \| Status \| Evidence Needed \| Gap Notes |
| Control guidance | Structured: Purpose → Requirement → Implementation steps → Audit evidence |

**Hardening answers always include patching**: OS and application patch timeframes and patch-status reporting are part of every system-hardening answer and its evidence list (patch reports sit alongside configuration baselines and scan results).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thomasmoreai/legal-skills-open/ism@sha256:92b1956f00194b82

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.2, 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.
