Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a security skill usually runs scanners and checks websites.

Conduct external recon using OSINT techniques to map an organization's external attack surface without touching target systems, gathering DNS records, certificate transparency logs, search results, social media, code repositories, and breach databases into a target profile. Use for the passive info-gathering phase of a pentest, external footprinting, or collecting employee/email intel for a social engineering campaign.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'conducting-external-reconnaissance-with-osint' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'conducting-external-reconnaissance-with-osint' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named conducting-external-reconnaissance-with-osint already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '54a798831d2266a3ca61ce68a7acb80b81160d57' -- 'skills/conducting-external-reconnaissance-with-osint' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/conducting-external-reconnaissance-with-osint' ~/.agents/skills/'conducting-external-reconnaissance-with-osint' && 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/'conducting-external-reconnaissance-with-osint' ~/.claude/skills/'conducting-external-reconnaissance-with-osint' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
