Deploys and monitors ransomware canary files across critical directories using Python's watchdog library for real-time filesystem event detection. Places strategically named decoy files that mimic high-value targets (financial records, credentials, database exports) in locations ransomware typically enumerates first.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'deploying-ransomware-canary-files' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'deploying-ransomware-canary-files' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named deploying-ransomware-canary-files already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/plurigrid/asi' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '293ce9f76e3abcd5ba18db284688bc0d9ac6691d' -- 'plugins/asi/skills/deploying-ransomware-canary-files' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/asi/skills/deploying-ransomware-canary-files' ~/.agents/skills/'deploying-ransomware-canary-files' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'deploying-ransomware-canary-files' ~/.claude/skills/'deploying-ransomware-canary-files' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
