Live repository

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 passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    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 aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

    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

security-testing

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to perform automated vulnerability scanning and penetration testing on web applications. It helps identify common security flaws such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure configurations before attackers can exploit them.

When to use it

  • Pre-deployment checks: Run scans against staging environments to catch vulnerabilities before going live.
  • Compliance audits: Generate reports for regulatory requirements like PCI-DSS or SOC2 that mandate regular security testing.
  • Third-party integration: Validate the security posture of newly integrated APIs or microservices within your architecture.
  • Incident response: Rapidly assess the impact of a suspected breach by scanning affected endpoints for additional exposure.

Key capabilities

  • Automated detection of OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
  • Customizable scan profiles for different application types
  • Detailed reporting with severity ratings and remediation steps
  • Integration with CI/CD pipelines for continuous security monitoring

Example prompts

  • "Scan my production API endpoints for SQL injection vulnerabilities and report findings."
  • "Perform a penetration test on this login page to identify authentication bypass weaknesses."
  • "Generate a security audit report highlighting all high-severity XSS issues found in the frontend code."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have explicit authorization before scanning any live environment, as unauthorized testing can violate legal agreements. Always run scans in isolated or staging environments first to prevent accidental service disruption during automated attacks.
