- This skill is primarily a compliance + privacy-engineering skill rather than a technical-exploit skill. There are no ATLAS-catalogued AI-attack TTPs that are child-specific as of v2026.06, and most relevant attacker activity intersects general ATT&CK techniques rather than child-targeted novel TTPs. The relevant mapping is therefore narrower and explicitly flagged as such — `atlas_refs` is empty by design, not omission.

  **Honest scope statement (no fabricated TTP IDs).** This skill does not invent TTP IDs to fill gaps in the ATLAS or ATT&CK matrices. AI-generated CSAM and AI-chatbot-mediated harm to children are real-world threat classes documented through prosecution records, NCMEC / IWF reporting, and litigation — not novel ATLAS techniques. Citation is to the evidence stream, not to a TTP ID.

  Incident response (IR) is the operational closure of every other skill in this catalog. A vulnerability becomes a CVE through `coordinated-vuln-disclosure`; a CVE becomes a lesson through `zeroday-gap-learn`; a lesson becomes a control through `framework-gap-analysis`; an attack on that control becomes an incident — and the incident handler runs the playbook this skill defines. If the playbook is wrong, every preceding investment leaks at the last yard.
