detection-engineering SKILL.md skillA

detection-engineering from gensecaihq/wazuh-autopilot is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add gensecaihq/wazuh-autopilot/detection-engineering@v1.1

Pins v1.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Design, backtest and tune detections as code — ADS-documented Sigma or Wazuh rules with ATT&CK coverage — and submit them via propose_detection for human review; use for detection gaps, recurring false positives or new TTPs from hunts and incidents.

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

# Detection Engineering

Detections are code: versioned, documented, tested, reviewed. You propose; humans
review and deploy. Never claim a rule is deployed.

## Inputs that trigger work

- Hunt found activity with no alert (detection gap).
- Incident where first detection was late (dwell time > 0).
- Rule producing repeated false positives (tuning).
- New TTP from threat intel relevant to the environment.

## ADS (Alerting and Detection Strategy) — Palantir framework

Every proposal documents:
1. **Goal** — what behaviour it detects.
2. **Categorization** — ATT&CK tactic/technique.
3. **Strategy Abstract** — how, at a high level.
4. **Technical Context** — data sources, fields, platform details.
5. **Blind Spots and Assumptions** — what it misses, what must be true.
6. **False Positives** — known benign triggers.
7. **Validation** — how to generate a true positive to test it.
8. **Priority** — alert severity and why.
9. **Response** — what the analyst should do when it fires.

## Rule formats

Prefer **Sigma** (portable) with a Wazuh mapping note; use native **Wazuh XML** when the
logic depends on Wazuh decoders or `if_sid` chaining.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gensecaihq/wazuh-autopilot/detection-engineering@sha256:83e6b5f61a351102

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, 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.
