Recon Skills is a pack of security-testing skills covering reconnaissance, web applications, APIs, authentication, vulnerability validation, cloud infrastructure, and reporting. Security professionals use it for authorized assessments of systems they own or have written permission to test. The catalogue entries are individual skills from the pack.
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.

SkillSpector: 12 findings, up to high
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 →

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 | $0.00019 | $0.02615 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.01307 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00523 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00262 |
Grade C, and why
source-leak-hunt scanned grade C with 2 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 10d 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.
Harvests environment variableshighData exfiltration
Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 245 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Source Leak Hunt Skill
Mass scanning for exposed sensitive files (.env, .git/config, wp-config.php.bak, debug.log, backup.sql, phpinfo.php, Dockerfile, etc.) with content-based false positive filtering. Source leaks are the second most common finding (~7% of targets) after WordPress user enumeration.
When to Use
- After
skill_view(name='wp-mass-recon')confirms a target is alive. - Broad scanning across a batch of domains.
- When probing for credential exposure that enables deeper access.
- Complementing
skill_view(name='js-secrets-extraction')for client-side secrets.
Prerequisites
terminalwith curl.- List of live URLs (output from httpx or wp-mass-recon Phase 1).
- Persistence: output directory at
$OUTDIR/leaks/.
How to Run
# Quick scan single target (20 paths)
TARGET="https://example.com"
for path in .env .git/config wp-config.php.bak debug.log backup.sql info.php phpinfo.php \
.env.backup .env.local .env.production wp-config.php~ .git/HEAD .backup.sql \
docker-compose.yml Dockerfile .DS_Store robots.txt sitemap.xml; do
code=$(curl -sk -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" --max-time 5 --connect-timeout 5 "$TARGET/$path")
[[ "$code" == "200" ]] && echo "HTTP 200: $TARGET/$path"
sleep 0.2
done
Quick Reference

Dockerfile |
Build config, exposed ports | Low |
.env.backup / .env.local |
Same as .env, alternate names | Critical |
wp-config.php~ |

error_log |
PHP error log (can be multi-MB, full of paths/queries) | High |
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.

source-leak-hunt is a skill published in the GitHub repository uphiago/recon-skills (1,251 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 2,615 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (harvests environment variables, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
