This skill documents a repeatable workflow for constructing threat-hunting hypotheses: scope a testable hypothesis tied to ATT&CK techniques, identify data sources, run queries across EDR/SIEM, validate results, and produce an evidence-backed hunt report. It emphasizes verifiable, falsifiable hypotheses and documenting coverage.
Use this during proactive threat hunting, purple-team exercises, incident response scoping, or when threat intelligence suggests new TTPs to validate. Also useful for coverage gap analysis to prioritize instrumentation.
Relevant to security automation and hunting toolchains that can query EDR/SIEM platforms and run endpoint tests (Velociraptor, SIEM hunt runners, custom automation).
