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

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills at 5a4cdd9df8.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to execute standard penetration testing commands directly within a terminal environment. It facilitates the automation of security assessments by allowing agents to run specific tools and scripts for vulnerability scanning, network analysis, and system reconnaissance.

When to use it

  • Automating initial reconnaissance phases in authorized red team engagements.
  • Executing repetitive security checks across multiple target systems without manual intervention.
  • Integrating penetration testing workflows into CI/CD pipelines for continuous security validation.
  • Generating detailed logs of command outputs for post-assessment reporting and analysis.

Key capabilities

  • Direct execution of standard Linux and Windows penetration testing utilities.
  • Real-time interaction with terminal environments to capture command output.
  • Support for common security assessment toolchains including Nmap, Metasploit, and Nikto.
  • Structured data extraction from command results for further processing by the AI agent.

Example prompts

  • "Run a comprehensive port scan on target IP 192.168.1.50 using Nmap and identify open services."
  • "Execute a directory listing on the web server at example.com to check for exposed sensitive files."
  • "List all running processes on the target machine and filter for any suspicious database services."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have explicit, written authorization before using this skill against any system, as unauthorized access is illegal. Always configure the agent with appropriate network access rules and firewall permissions to prevent command execution failures due to connectivity restrictions.
