Route approved security work to the pack's 25 narrow operators, with
authorization/scope gates, retained evidence and compatible report inputs.
Use when starting a pentest, auditing dependencies or source code, checking
an approved URL, or preparing engagement deliverables. Familiar requests
route to the appropriate operator; retained legacy CLIs keep separate
completion and JSON contracts. Trigger with "pentest", "security scan",

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'performing-penetration-testing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'performing-penetration-testing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named performing-penetration-testing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8dc06f02eb00b7d8d1c0e69dfb3add2fd9500979' -- 'skills/.curated/performing-penetration-testing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/.curated/performing-penetration-testing' ~/.agents/skills/'performing-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/'performing-penetration-testing' ~/.claude/skills/'performing-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.
