claude-red is a library of structured skills that give Claude specialized offensive-security methods for areas such as web vulnerabilities, shellcode, exploit development, and identity systems. It is intended for authorized red-team work, bug-bounty triage, security research, CTF preparation, and operator training. Its catalogue contains the project's skills for loading these security specializations into Claude.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

SkillSpector: 32 findings, up to critical
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- critical YARA Match · line 79 YARA rule matched a known webshell pattern (PHP, Python, JSP, or ASPX webshell).Fix: Remove the webshell code immediately. Webshells provide unauthorized remote command execution. Audit the skill for additional backdoors or persistence mechanisms.
- high Tool Misuse · line 96 Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.07526 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.03010 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.01505 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00753 |
Grade A, and why
offensive-rce 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 1mo 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 — 1,068 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

RCE, remote code execution, command injection, OS injection, SSTI RCE, deserialization RCE, file upload RCE, XXE RCE, dependency confusion, code execution
Instructions for Claude
When this skill is active:
- Load and apply the full methodology below as your operational checklist
- Follow steps in order unless the user specifies otherwise
- For each technique, consider applicability to the current target/context
- Track which checklist items have been completed
- Suggest next steps based on findings
Full Methodology
Remote Code Execution
occurs when an attacker can execute arbitrary code on a target machine because of a vulnerability or misconfiguration.
Shortcut
- Identify suspicious user input locations. for code injections, take note of every user input location, including URL parameters, HTTP headers, body parameters, and file uploads. to find potential file inclusion vulnerabilities, check for input locations being used to inclusion vulnerabilities, check for input locations being used to determine or, construct filenames and, for file upload functions.
- Submit test payloads to the input locations in order to detect potential vulnerabilities.
- If your requests are blocked, try protection bypass techniques and see if your payload succeeds.
- Finally, confirm the vulnerability by trying to execute harmless commands such as
whoami,ls, and,sleep 5.
Mechanisms
Code Injection
This program takes a user input string, pass it through eval() and return the results:
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.

offensive-rce is a skill published in the GitHub repository SnailSploit/Claude-Red (8,841 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 7,526 tokens. 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.
