gemini-agent-skills: Skill for Claude Code

.gemini/skills/penetration-tester/SKILL.md

penetration-tester is a skill for Claude Code, Gemini CLI from saeed-vayghan/gemini-agent-skills. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,216 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An ethical hacking and security assessment guide for finding and safely validating weaknesses in websites, networks, infrastructure, and APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define testing scope, gather information, inspect attack surfaces, test common web vulnerabilities, validate findings, and document fixes.
Why use it?
It helps reveal exploitable security gaps before attackers do and provides evidence and remediation guidance.

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

penetration-tester 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 9d 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.

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.
