## What it does

The skill inspects email headers, subject lines, body text, and embedded URLs against known security markers. It flags typosquatted domains like `paypa1.com`, free mail accounts mimicking businesses, and insecure HTTP links. If you supply raw message headers, it factors SPF, DKIM, and DMARC verification into the assessment.

Output arrives as a structured security report. The agent assigns a threat tier from SAFE to HIGH and outputs a concrete verdict. It highlights psychological pressure, requests for credentials, and dangerous attachments such as `.exe` or `.docm` files.

Without the full message body or URL targets, the agent cannot evaluate redirect destinations or spoofed display names. The skill supports English and Chinese, with optimal results on `claude-sonnet-4` and `claude-opus-4`.

# Suspicious Email Analyzer

Analyze emails for phishing attempts, scams, and security threats to protect against fraud.

## Overview

This skill helps you:

- Analyze suspicious links
- Assess email authenticity
- Recommend safe actions

## How to Use

### Analyze an Email
```
"Is this email legitimate?"
"Check this email for phishing"

## Threat Indicators

### Red Flags Checklist
```markdown
## Email Security Assessment

### Sender Analysis
- [ ] **Domain mismatch**: Display name doesn't match email domain
- [ ] **Lookalike domain**: microsoft.corn, amaz0n.com
- [ ] **Free email for business**: Official company using gmail.com
- [ ] **Random characters**: x7y2z@suspicious.com
- [ ] **No reply-to**: Cannot respond to sender

### Content Analysis
- [ ] **Urgency pressure**: "Act NOW", "Account suspended"
- [ ] **Threat language**: "Legal action", "Account closure"
- [ ] **Too good to be true**: Prize winner, inheritance
- [ ] **Generic greeting**: "Dear Customer" vs your name
- [ ] **Grammar/spelling errors**: Unusual mistakes
- [ ] **Requests sensitive info**: Password, SSN, credit card
- [ ] **Unexpected attachment**: Especially .exe, .zip, .docm

### Link Analysis
- [ ] **Hover reveals different URL**: Display vs actual link
- [ ] **Shortened URLs**: bit.ly, tinyurl hiding destination
