Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00091 | $0.02442 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.01221 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00488 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00244 |
Grade A, and why
testing-application-security 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 6d 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 — 187 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Testing Application Security
Use this skill when a feature's protection matters and the functional suite only proves the happy path works for someone who is allowed to use it.
This is security testing at a tester's depth: systematic verification that the application enforces what it claims, not penetration testing. The highest-value work here is unglamorous and rarely done: a complete authorization matrix, checked server-side, for every role against every endpoint. Broken access control is consistently the most common serious defect class in web applications, and it is found by being thorough rather than by being clever.
Everything in this skill runs after the authorization gate in Phase 0. Testing a system you are not authorized to test is not a testing activity.
When to Use
- a feature is behind authentication or role-based permissions
- an exploratory session surfaced something security-shaped
- a security review needs QA-level coverage of access control
- API endpoints exist that the UI hides but does not protect
- a new role, permission, or tenant boundary has been added
- personal or financial data is handled and the handling needs checking
Operating Principles
- Authorization first, always. Written permission for this system, this environment, this scope, this window. No exception, including for your employer's own systems.
- Observe, do not exploit. Confirm the finding with the minimum action that demonstrates it, then stop. Reading one record you should not see proves the point; enumerating the table does not add to it and does add harm.
- The server decides. A UI that hides a button proves nothing. Every check runs against the API.
- Systematic beats clever. A complete role-by-endpoint matrix finds more real defects than an inventive payload.
- Never in production without explicit written approval, and never with real customer data.
- Report findings through the security path, not the public bug tracker.
- Depth has a limit. Beyond confirming a class of finding, hand off to a security professional rather than going further.
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

testing-application-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository jaktestowac/awesome-copilot-for-testers (113 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 2,442 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

Focus on all unit + command tests (pytest --exclude tests/integration). Make sure they pass and fix errors. If you run into anything very odd: stop, and let me know. Mutate test code first and let me know if you think you should update application code.
