The Agent Skills Directory

[COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The scripts/agent.py file uses subprocess.run to execute the system aide binary for initialization (--init) and integrity checking (--check). It also uses cp to manage the AIDE database files.
[PERSISTENCE]: The skill facilitates the creation of a cron job for scheduled integrity monitoring, which involves writing a shell script to /etc/cron.daily/ or similar paths to maintain monitoring over time.
[PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: The documentation explicitly states that root or sudo access is required for the skill to function, as AIDE needs permissions to scan restricted system directories and sensitive files like /etc/shadow.
