Ran the bundled replay suite for real (7/7 fixtures pass, including the four deceptive-clean ones where it correctly refuses to fabricate a path); on a fresh 4-SG fleet I built myself, a naive per-rule read called every rule 'properly scoped' and recommended no action, while the skill composed the exact internet->web->app->db critical path to the crown jewel that the per-rule read missed entirely.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What SG Deceptive Reachability Auditor does

Builds a directed graph from describe-security-groups/-instances JSON (SG-to-SG references plus an internet edge for 0.0.0.0/0 rules), then BFS-composes the transitive closure from a named entry to report the shortest path to a crown-jewel tier, the blast radius, and any pivot SG - or reports clean and names the boundary on a segmented fleet instead of fabricating a path. Triggers when asked to review a security-group fleet for lateral movement, blast radius, or 'can the internet reach the database'; ships with a FAILURE_MODES.md that names what the SG graph alone cannot confirm (live hosts, route tables, NACLs, app auth).

How to install SG Deceptive Reachability Auditor

git clone https://github.com/anyshift-io/sre-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r sre-skills/skills/sg-deceptive-reachability-auditor ~/.claude/skills/sg-deceptive-reachability-auditor

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger SG Deceptive Reachability Auditor

  • /sg-deceptive-reachability-auditor Composes AWS security-group references into a reachability graph to find the lateral-movement path no single rule reveals.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Audit this fleet of security groups for lateral movement to the database
  • Can the internet reach our database through this AWS security group setup?
  • We had a CI host compromised, what could it reach from there?
