-# Approval Tier System
-
-Graduated safety based on risk level. Routes confirmations through the appropriate channel.
-
-## Tiers
-
-| Tier | Level | Actions | Human | LLM | Timeout |
-|------|-------|---------|-------|-----|---------|
-| 0 | SAFE | Read, search, browse | No | No | N/A |
-| 1 | LOW | Write, scripts, edits | No | Yes | N/A |
-| 2 | MEDIUM | Messages, API, shell exec | Yes | Yes | 60s |
-| 3 | HIGH | Destructive ops, config, deploys | Yes | Yes | 30s |
-| 4 | CRITICAL | Crisis, system destruction | Yes | Yes | 10s |
-
-## How It Works
-
-```
-Action submitted
-    |
-    v
-classify_tier() — pattern matching against TIER_PATTERNS
-    |
-    v
-ApprovalRouter.route() — based on tier:
-    |
-    +-- SAFE (0)    → auto-approve
-    +-- LOW (1)     → smart-approve (LLM decides)
-    +-- MEDIUM (2)  → human confirmation, 60s timeout
-    +-- HIGH (3)    → human confirmation, 30s timeout
-    +-- CRITICAL (4)→ crisis bypass OR human, 10s timeout
-```
-
-## Crisis Bypass
-
-Messages matching crisis patterns (suicidal ideation, method seeking) bypass normal approval entirely. They return crisis intervention resources:
-- 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988)
-- Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741)
-- Emergency: 911
-
-## Timeout Handling
-
-When a human confirmation times out:
-- MEDIUM (60s): Auto-escalate to HIGH
-- HIGH (30s): Auto-escalate to CRITICAL
-- CRITICAL (10s): Deny by default
-
-## Usage
-
-```python
-from tools.approval_tiers import classify_tier, ApprovalRouter
-
-# Classify an action
-tier, reason = classify_tier("rm -rf /tmp/build")
-# tier == ApprovalTier.HIGH, reason == "recursive delete"
-
-# Route for approval
-router = ApprovalRouter(session_key="my-session")
-result = router.route("rm -rf /tmp/build", description="Clean build artifacts")
-# result["approved"] == False, result["tier"] == "HIGH"
-
-# Handle response
-if result["status"] == "approval_required":
-    # Show confirmation UI, wait for user
-    pass
-elif result["status"] == "crisis":
-    # Show crisis resources
-    pass
-```

+# Anthropic Cybersecurity Skills Integration
+
+Import and use the Anthropic Cybersecurity Skills library (754 skills, 26 domains, 5 frameworks) with Hermes Agent.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Anthropic Cybersecurity Skills library provides 754 production-grade security skills for AI agents. Each skill follows the agentskills.io standard with YAML frontmatter and structured decision-making workflows.
+
+## Source
+
+- **Repository:** https://github.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills
+- **License:** Apache 2.0
+- **Stars:** 4,385
+- **Compatible:** Hermes Agent, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex CLI
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Import all skills
+python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py
+
+# Import by domain
+python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --domain cloud-security
+
+# Import by framework
+python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --framework nist-csf
+
+# List available domains
+python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --list-domains
+
+# List available frameworks
+python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --list-frameworks
+
+# Dry run (show what would be imported)
+python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --dry-run
+```
+
+## Security Domains (26)
+
+| Domain | Skills | Key Capabilities |
+|--------|--------|-----------------|

+## Framework Mappings (5)
+
+| Framework | Version | Scope |
+|-----------|---------|-------|
+| MITRE ATT&CK | v18 | 14 tactics, 200+ techniques |
+| NIST CSF 2.0 | 2.0 | 6 functions, 22 categories |
+| MITRE ATLAS | v5.4 | 16 tactics, 84 techniques |
+| MITRE D3FEND | v1.3 | 7 categories, 267 techniques |
+| NIST AI RMF | 1.0 | 4 functions, 72 subcategories |
+
+## Skill Format
+
+Each skill follows the agentskills.io standard:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: analyzing-active-directory-acl-abuse
+description: Detect dangerous ACL misconfigurations in Active Directory
+domain: cybersecurity
+subdomain: identity-security
+tags:
+  - active-directory
+  - acl-abuse
+  - ldap
+version: '1.0'
+author: mahipal
+license: Apache-2.0
+nist_csf:
+  - PR.AA-01
+  - PR.AA-05
+  - PR.AA-06
+---
+```
+
+## Use Cases for Hermes
+
+1. **Fleet security** — Agents can audit their own infrastructure
+2. **Incident response** — Structured IR playbooks for security events
+3. **Threat hunting** — Hypothesis-driven hunts across fleet logs
+4. **Compliance** — Framework-mapped skills for audit preparation
+5. **Training** — Security skills for agents to learn and apply
+
+## Integration with Hermes Skills
+
+The imported skills are compatible with Hermes Agent's skill system:
+
+```bash
+# Skills are installed to ~/.hermes/skills/cybersecurity/
+# Each skill has a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter
+
+# Use in Hermes
+hermes skills list | grep cybersecurity
+hermes skills enable cybersecurity/cloud-security
+```
+
+## Adding to Fleet
+
+```bash
+# Import all skills
+python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py
+
+# Import specific domain for fleet security
+python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --domain incident-response
+
+# Import for compliance
+python scripts/import_cybersecurity_skills.py --framework nist-csf
+```
+
+## Index
+
+After import, an index is generated at `~/.hermes/skills/cybersecurity/index.json` listing all installed skills with their metadata.

-"""Approval Tier System — graduated safety based on risk level.
-
-Extends the existing approval.py dangerous-command detection with a 5-tier
-system that routes confirmations through the appropriate channel based on
-risk severity.
-
-Tiers:
-    SAFE (0)    — Read, search, browse. No confirmation needed.
-    LOW (1)     — Write, scripts, edits. LLM smart approval sufficient.
-    MEDIUM (2)  — Messages, API calls. Human + LLM, 60s timeout.
-    HIGH (3)    — Crypto, config changes, deploys. Human + LLM, 30s timeout.
-    CRITICAL (4) — Crisis, self-harm, system destruction. Immediate human, 10s timeout.
-
-Usage:
-    from tools.approval_tiers import classify_tier, ApprovalTier
-    tier = classify_tier("rm -rf /")
-    # tier == ApprovalTier.CRITICAL
