HackSkills is an organized knowledge base of installable skills that gives AI agents practical security knowledge across areas such as web security, privilege escalation, reverse engineering, and digital forensics. It is intended for bug bounty work, penetration testing, CTF competitions, and authorized security research. The catalogue entries are the project's own master, category, and topic skills.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00038 | $0.00451 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00226 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00090 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00045 |
Grade A, and why
api-recon-and-docs 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 6d 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.

What it actually says
SKILL: API Recon and Docs — Endpoints, Schemas, and Version Surface
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Use this skill first when the target is a REST, mobile, or GraphQL API and you need to enumerate endpoints, documentation, versions, and hidden surface area before exploitation.
1. PRIMARY GOALS
- Discover all reachable API entrypoints.
- Extract schemas, optional fields, and role differences.
- Identify old versions, mobile paths, GraphQL endpoints, and undocumented parameters.
2. RECON CHECKLIST
JavaScript and client mining
curl https://target/app.js | grep -oE '(/api|/rest|/graphql)[^"'\'' ]+' | sort -u
Common documentation and schema paths
/swagger.json
/openapi.json
/api-docs
/docs
/.well-known/
/graphql
/gql
Version and product drift
/api/v1/
/api/v2/
/api/mobile/v1/
/legacy/
3. WHAT TO EXTRACT FROM DOCS
- optional and undocumented fields
- admin-only request examples
- deprecated endpoints that may still be active
- schema hints like
additionalProperties: true - parameter names tied to filtering, sorting, IDs, roles, or tenancy
4. NEXT ROUTING
| Finding | Next Skill |
|---|---|
| object IDs everywhere | api authorization and bola |
| JWT, OAuth, role claims | api auth and jwt abuse |
| GraphQL or hidden fields | graphql and hidden parameters |
| strong auth boundary but suspicious business flow | business logic vulnerabilities |
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.

api-recon-and-docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository yaklang/hack-skills (2,064 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 451 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
