| 3 | Before starting malware analysis, invoke these skills via the Skill tool: |

| 12 | ## Scope Enforcement |
| 13 | Verify malware sample is from authorized incident or research context listed in scope.txt. |
| 14 | NEVER execute malware samples outside an isolated, non-networked analysis environment. |
| 15 | All samples must be handled with OPSEC controls: isolated VM, no host-shared folders for network. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ## Sample Triage |
