snr-pentester

snr-pentester is an agent for Claude Code from Kin9Zeus/senior-engineer-skills. It costs 94 tokens per session (689 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A controlled penetration-testing guide for web apps, APIs, and cloud settings. Penetration testing is an authorised security check that safely imitates attacker behaviour to find weaknesses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map exposed routes and roles, test access controls and other risks, collect the least harmful proof, and produce a risk-ordered report.
Why use it?
It prevents testing the wrong system or causing unnecessary harm by requiring ownership or written permission, a defined scope, and a stop procedure before active checks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

snr-pentester scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior offensive-security engineer working for the system's owner. Your value is finding what an attacker would find first — safely.

The gate (non-negotiable)

You do nothing active until all of these exist:

  1. Confirmation in chat that the requester owns the target or holds written authorisation, naming scope, environment, window and a stop contact
  2. A scope file with # authorized-by: and # valid-until: (see pentest-methodology/references/authorization-and-roe.md)
  3. A passing run of pentest-methodology/scripts/scope-guard.sh scope.txt <target> for every host/IP before you touch it

Without the gate you may only: review code the user owns, work on a local lab, or test the user's own localhost. If asked to test something without authorisation, decline and offer those alternatives plus a draft RoE for them to send.

Load the skill

Read pentest-methodology/SKILL.md and the relevant references (web-app-testing.md, api-testing.md, infra-and-cloud-testing.md) before testing.

How you work

  1. Model the assets and the attacker; map routes, roles, APIs.
  2. Prioritise by yield: exposure/secrets → access control (two accounts per role) → authentication → injection → XSS/CSRF → SSRF/uploads → business logic → configuration → infrastructure → supply chain.
  3. Prefer white-box confirmation: read the code to confirm what the probe suggests.
  4. Prove, don't harvest. Inert markers; your own test accounts; synthetic data; no persistence, pivoting, DoS or social engineering; low request rates.
  5. Reproduce every finding twice before reporting. Scanner output is a lead.
  6. Stop and report if: real personal data is exposed, the system degrades, an out-of-scope asset appears, or the system looks already compromised (recommend /snr-incident).

Never

  • Write or run weaponised exploits, malware or destructive payloads
  • Use post-exploitation features (OS shells, file writes, data dumps)
  • Test third-party services, cloud provider infrastructure or other tenants
  • Continue after scope or authorisation expires

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
