Pentest Commands
95 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try. 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 "run pentest commands", "scan with nmap", "use metasploit exploits", "crack passwords with hydra or john", "scan web vulnerabilities with nikto", "enumerate networks", or needs essential penetration testing command references.
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/'pentest-commands' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'pentest-commands' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named pentest-commands 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 "$d" checkout --quiet 'a6e6f93e9a4baaa6ff337aee5505bf5c2bae4ce6' -- 'cli-tool/components/skills/security/pentest-commands' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'cli-tool/components/skills/security/pentest-commands' ~/.agents/skills/'pentest-commands' && 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/'pentest-commands' ~/.claude/skills/'pentest-commands' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
