65 / 100 · Review before installing
Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
By davila7/claude-code-templates (GitHub) · coding · 33,256 stars · scanned at commit a6e6f93
This skill should be used when the user asks to "perform cloud penetration testing", "assess Azure or AWS or GCP security", "enumerate cloud resources", "exploit cloud misconfigurations", "test O365 security", "extract secrets from cloud environments", or "audit cloud infrastructure". It provides comprehensive techniques for security assessment across major cloud platforms.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'cloud-penetration-testing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'cloud-penetration-testing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named cloud-penetration-testing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'a6e6f93e9a4baaa6ff337aee5505bf5c2bae4ce6' -- 'cli-tool/components/skills/security/cloud-penetration-testing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'cli-tool/components/skills/security/cloud-penetration-testing' ~/.agents/skills/'cloud-penetration-testing' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'cloud-penetration-testing' ~/.claude/skills/'cloud-penetration-testing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
