ApexDiscovery

ApexDiscovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SecurityTalent/bugskill-ai. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,901 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-research skill for finding an organisation's main domains and related domains, such as regional, subsidiary, or acquired-company websites.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for authorised reconnaissance based on organisation names, ownership records, network data, and certificate information.
Why use it?
It broadens the list of domains checked before looking for subdomains, reducing the chance of missing part of an organisation's internet presence.

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

ApexDiscovery scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/apex-discover.sh, scripts/tenn.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 359 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ApexDiscovery

Discover all apex/root domains owned by a target organization using multiple techniques.

Philosophy:

"For every apex domain you find, you 4x your chance of hacking the target." — Jason Haddix

Why this matters: Companies own many domains — acquisitions, regional sites, product brands, internal tools. Subdomain enumeration only works on domains you know about. This skill finds the domains you don't.

Important: Organization Name Discovery

During recon, you'll often discover additional organization names that should be searched:

  • WHOIS shows "Tesla Motors Inc" but ASN shows "Tesla Energy"
  • ASN data reveals acquired company "SolarCity"
  • Cert org field shows "Acme Holdings LLC" (parent company)

The workflow should be ITERATIVE:

  1. Search initial org name
  2. Collect any NEW org names discovered
  3. Present to user: "Found these related orgs: X, Y, Z. Search them too?"
  4. If yes → recursive search on new orgs
  5. Repeat until no new orgs found

Where new orgs appear:

Source Field to Check
WHOIS Registrant Organization
ASN (bgp.he.net) AS Organization Name
Certificates O= (Organization) field
DomLink Company Names section

Workflow Routing

Workflow Trigger What It Does
Quick "find related domains", "apex discovery", DEFAULT Reverse WHOIS + crt.sh org search
Full "full apex discovery", "all company domains", "complete domain footprint" All techniques in parallel

What ships with it

2 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.

Changes

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.

ApexDiscovery is a skill published in the GitHub repository SecurityTalent/bugskill-ai (5 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 2,901 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
