Open-source agent workflows that run on top of the Whisper MCP connector — whisper-investigate, whisper-cypher, and whisper-brand-protection. Install on Claude.ai, Claude Code, or via the API.

Agent Skills Documentation

Agent Skills are pre-built investigation workflows that run on top of the Whisper MCP connector. They're open source and MIT-licensed at github.com/whisper-sec/whisper-skills.

The connector gives an AI assistant the toolsquery, explain_indicator, domain_variants, and the rest. Skills give it the playbooks: which tool to reach for, in what order, with the real graph schema and validated query patterns already baked in. Instead of working a multi-step investigation out from scratch, the assistant loads a skill and runs a known-good workflow.

The three skills

SkillWhat it does
whisper-investigateThreat triage and indicator enrichment — chains tools to answer "is this domain or IP malicious?", enrich IOCs, and pivot through infrastructure.
whisper-cypherCypher query authoring — bundles the graph schema, validated query patterns, and the query-safety rules so the assistant writes valid Cypher on the first try.
whisper-brand-protectionTyposquatting and brand-protection sweeps — lookalike domain detection, registrant pivoting, and takedown-report generation.

Each skill loads automatically when your question matches it. Ask "is 185.220.101.1 malicious?" and whisper-investigate activates; ask "find typosquats of paypal.com" and whisper-brand-protection activates.

Prerequisite: connect the MCP server

Skills are workflows for the connector — they don't do anything on their own. Connect https://mcp.whisper.security first; see the Setup guide. The skills build on six tools the connector exposes: query, explain_indicator, whisper_history, domain_variants, list_labels, and describe_label.

Install

Clone or download the repo first:

git clone https://github.com/whisper-sec/whisper-skills.git

Claude.ai (Web)

Zip a skill folder and upload it under Settings → Capabilities → Skills. Repeat for each skill you want available.

Claude Code

Copy the skill folders into your skills directory:

# All projects
cp -r whisper-skills/whisper-* ~/.claude/skills/

# This project only
cp -r whisper-skills/whisper-* .claude/skills/

API

Include the skill folders in Messages API requests via the container.skills parameter, alongside the Code Execution tool.

How it fits together

You ask a question
   ↓
A skill loads the workflow      (whisper-investigate / -cypher / -brand-protection)
   ↓
The MCP connector runs the tools   (query, explain_indicator, domain_variants, …)
   ↓
WhisperGraph answers            (7.4B nodes, 39B edges, 5.6M threat-intel edges)

The connector also ships eight built-in prompts for common investigation patterns. Prompts are single-shot — you trigger one explicitly. Skills are richer, auto-loading workflows with the schema and patterns built in. Reach for a prompt when you want a quick one-off; install a skill for repeatable investigations.
