  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads security-audit automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Security Auditing Workflow Bundle

⚠️ AUTHORIZED USE ONLY This skill is for educational purposes or authorized security assessments only. You must have explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool. Misuse of this tool is illegal and strictly prohibited.

Mandatory confirmation gate

Before each active security action, state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource, the written-authorization confirmation, permitted scope, exact command, expected effect and limits. Without confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only. Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation before executing it. Existing scope does not authorize expanding targets or techniques.

Overview

Comprehensive security auditing workflow for web applications, APIs, and infrastructure. This bundle orchestrates skills for penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, security scanning, and remediation.

When to Use This Workflow

Use this workflow when:

  • Performing security audits on web applications
  • Testing API security
  • Conducting penetration tests
  • Scanning for vulnerabilities
  • Hardening application security
  • Compliance security assessments

Before active testing, obtain written authorization naming exact targets, accounts, techniques, time window, request/concurrency/byte limits, prohibited actions and stop conditions. Select approved phases rather than launching every referenced skill. Use owned test fixtures for injections, exploitation and account actions; never extract real customer data or persist access to prove impact. Static source/dependency review may proceed within authorized read scope. Separate suspected scanner signals from reproduced findings, preserve redacted evidence and record untested scope.
