The real-world version is targeted capability reduction: focused analysis that identifies and disables specific functions of a system, service, or adversary. Feature flagging a dangerous capability off. Selectively throttling a misbehaving API consumer. Disabling specific attack vectors during an incident. Eyebite requires sustained focus on a single target — it is not a broadcast weapon. In this grimoire, Eyebite is treated as a metaphorical spell with a prototype delivery profile. Canonical reference input: Eyebite (spell). ## When To Use - A specific system, service, or feature needs to be selectively degraded rather than fully shut down. - You are responding to an incident and need to disable specific capabilities while keeping the rest operational. - Targeted throttling or feature disabling is more appropriate than a full kill or freeze. ## Prerequisites - No extra runtime dependencies beyond Hermes Agent and the normal toolset for this session. ## Procedure 1. Restate the target, the success condition, and any no-touch boundaries before taking action. 2. Identify the specific target and the capability you want to degrade or disable. 3. Assess dependencies — what else relies on the capability you are about to remove? 4. Execute the selective degradation: feature flag, targeted throttle, capability restriction. 5. Monitor the target to confirm the degradation is working as intended without cascading side effects. 6. Document the intervention and set a review point for restoration. 7. Package the result as the deliverables below, with confidence, assumptions, and unresolved risk called out explicitly. ## Deliverables - Confirmation of which capabilities were degraded and how. - A dependency impact assessment. - A restoration plan for when the degradation should be reversed. ## Pitfalls / Guardrails - Call out the glue, permissions, or missing infrastructure before you imply this is fully operational. - Eyebite is surgical, not punitive. Degrade only what is necessary to address the specific problem. - Selective degradation of user-facing features requires clear communication to affected users. - Do not use targeted degradation as a substitute for fixing the underlying issue. ## Verification - Check that the result includes every deliverable promised above. - Check that confirmed facts, assumptions, and inferences are visibly separated. - Check that the metaphor still maps cleanly to a real operational mechanism. - Check that any missing glue code, permissions, or future work is labeled before the skill is treated as ready. ## Example Invocation ```text /eyebite selectively degrade a specific capability of a system or service while keeping the rest operational ``` ## Source & license This open-source skill is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [Hmbown](https://github.com/Hmbown) - **Source:** [Hmbown/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts](https://github.com/Hmbown/Wizards-of-the-Ghosts) - **License:** CC0-1.0 Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** no - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: passed — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/skill-hmbown-wizards-of-the-ghosts-eyebite - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/hmbown - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
