techstack-backend

techstack-backend is a skill for Claude Code from transilienceai/communitytools. It costs 39 tokens per session (384 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for identifying the server-side technology behind a website, including its web server, programming runtime, framework, database, content-management system, and APIs. It infers these components from visible web responses and site paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for technology reconnaissance, mapping a website's server-side attack surface, identifying REST or GraphQL APIs, detecting CMS platforms, and matching possible technologies to known vulnerabilities.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand what runs behind a website when its technology is not documented openly.

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

techstack-backend 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.

What it actually says

Backend Tech-Stack Identification

Scope

Identify server-side technologies: web servers (nginx, Apache, IIS), runtimes (Node, Python, PHP, Ruby, Java, .NET), backend frameworks (Express, Django, Flask, Rails, Laravel, Spring, ASP.NET), databases (Postgres, MySQL, Mongo, Redis), CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Magento), and API surfaces (REST, GraphQL, OpenAPI).

Signals (input)

  • HTTP response headers — Server, X-Powered-By, X-AspNet-Version, X-Drupal-*, X-Generator, etc.
  • Cookies — session-name fingerprints (PHPSESSID, JSESSIONID, _rails_session, ...)
  • Error page bodies (404, 500)
  • Path patterns hinting CMS (/wp-admin/, /sites/default/)
  • API subdomains and OpenAPI/Swagger/GraphQL endpoints
  • robots.txt directives

Inferences (output)

  • Web server + version
  • Runtime / language + version
  • Backend framework (with implied runtime)
  • CMS + version
  • Database (often indirect — via ORM dependency or hosted-DB DNS)
  • API style (REST/GraphQL/gRPC) and authentication scheme

Techniques

See reference/patterns.md.

When to use

  • Phase 2/3 of a tech-stack OSINT engagement
  • Mapping server-side attack surface (RCE, SSRF, deserialization)
  • CVE matching by server + version
  • Locating GraphQL / OpenAPI for follow-on api-security testing

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.

techstack-backend is a skill published in the GitHub repository transilienceai/communitytools (591 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 384 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
