Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

Nobody has reviewed this code. TrustedSkills indexes and links skills; it does not audit, run or scan them. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent — read the source before you install it.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides a curated library of command-line instructions specifically designed for penetration testing and security auditing workflows. It enables AI agents to execute precise reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, and exploitation commands within authorized environments.

When to use it

  • Automating initial reconnaissance phases during a red team engagement.
  • Executing rapid vulnerability scans against target infrastructure.
  • Running specific exploit payloads in isolated lab environments.
  • Generating standard operating procedures for security assessments.

Key capabilities

  • Pre-configured command sequences for common pentest tools.
  • Context-aware execution within terminal environments.
  • Integration with automated security testing pipelines.
  • Support for both offensive and defensive security scenarios.

Example prompts

  • "Use the pentest commands skill to run a network scan on 192.168.1.0/24."
  • "Generate a sequence of commands to test for SQL injection vulnerabilities."
  • "Execute the reconnaissance module from the pentest library against this target IP."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure all command execution occurs strictly within authorized, isolated environments to prevent unintended system damage. Always verify that the specific tools referenced in the commands are installed and compatible with your target operating system before deployment.
