About discover-cryptography

discover-cryptography is a Claude Code skill that activates for cryptography and security work, then directs users to focused guidance on certificates, TLS, encryption, and related topics. It includes common workflows and supports progressive loading of category and individual skill details.

Key features

  1. 01Automatic activation for cryptography work
  2. 02Seven security and cryptography skills
  3. 03Guided workflows for common tasks
  4. 04Progressive loading of skill details

Use cases

  1. 01Planning HTTPS setup
  2. 02Understanding encryption approaches
  3. 03Troubleshooting certificate issues
  4. 04Migrating from legacy TLS

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

$npx skills add https://github.com/rand/cc-polymath --skill discover-cryptography

After installing, type/discover-cryptographyin Claude Code to confirm it loaded.

Common Workflows

Setting Up HTTPS

PKI basics → TLS config → Certificate management

Read ../cryptography/pki-fundamentals.md Read ../cryptography/tls-configuration.md Read ../cryptography/certificate-management.md

Understanding Encryption

Basics → Best practices → Specific implementation

Read ../cryptography/cryptography-basics.md Read ../cryptography/crypto-best-practices.md Read ../cryptography/tls-configuration.md

Certificate Troubleshooting

PKI → Certificate management → Debugging

Read ../cryptography/pki-fundamentals.md Read ../cryptography/certificate-management.md

Legacy Migration

Understand legacy → Modern TLS → Migration

Read ../cryptography/ssl-legacy.md Read ../cryptography/tls-configuration.md Read ../cryptography/certificate-management.md
