What

Remove the in-repo copy of Sliver's documentation and point the skill at the upstream docs.

sliver-c2/docs/sliver/ contained 30 files copied from Sliver's documentation, including Sliver's GPL-3.0 LICENSE. SKILL.md referenced those files by path in 7 places.

Change

  • Removed capabilities/sliver-c2/docs/sliver/ (30 files incl. the GPL-3.0 LICENSE).
  • SKILL.md: each of the 7 references now has a short summary written for this repo plus a link to the matching page on https://sliver.sh/docs, so the content stays available offline.
  • NOTICE: removed the entry for the deleted directory.
  • capability.yaml: sliver-c2 1.0.0 → 1.0.1.

Checks

  • git ls-tree -r HEAD -- capabilities/sliver-c2/docs/sliver is empty
  • git grep "docs/sliver" (whole repo) is empty
  • just validate strict=true passes

…maries (ENG-8910)

Removes capabilities/sliver-c2/docs/sliver/ (30 files incl. a GPL-3.0
LICENSE, flagged BishopFox/sliver by Black Duck). SKILL.md now carries
short summaries in our own words plus citations to sliver.sh so the
capability still works in air-gapped installs. Drops the stale NOTICE entry.

The replacement documentation needs topic-specific links and accurate transport-setup and native MCP coverage summaries.

Review effort: Balanced

- **Beacons**: Async callback with interval + jitter. Use for persistence. Lower detection risk.

Our MCP handles both transparently — `interact(implant_id, implant_type="beacon")` resolves async tasks automatically. Read `docs/sliver/tutorials/2---beacons-vs-sessions.md` for details.
Our MCP handles both transparently — `interact(implant_id, implant_type="beacon")` resolves async tasks automatically. Beacons check in on a set interval with jitter and queue tasks between check-ins; sessions hold a live, interactive connection. See Sliver's "Beacons vs. Sessions" documentation at https://sliver.sh/docs.
## C2 Transport Selection

Read the full docs at `docs/sliver/c2/`.
Each transport is configured when you start its listener (see Listener Management below). For protocol-specific setup — mTLS, HTTPS, DNS, and WireGuard — see Sliver's C2 documentation at https://sliver.sh/docs.
## Sliver Native MCP

Sliver v1.6+ has built-in MCP support (`docs/sliver/reference/mcp.md`). This provides direct access to ALL Sliver commands. If the native MCP is available, prefer it for commands our wrapper doesn't cover (pivots, SOCKS, port forwarding, armory, implant generation).
