injection-checking

A routing guide for injection security testing, where attacker-controlled input reaches an interpreter such as a browser, database, template engine, XML parser, URL fetcher, or shell.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route testing toward cross-site scripting, SQL injection, server-side request forgery, XML external entities, template injection, command injection, NoSQL injection, and related issues.
Why use it?
It helps identify which kind of injection issue to investigate instead of applying the wrong testing approach.

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

injection-checking 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 3d 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

Injection Testing Router

This is the routing entry point when input reaches a dangerous interpreter or execution environment.

After confirming this is an injection-class issue, use it to decide whether it is mainly browser context, database, template engine, server-side requests, XML parsing, or system commands.

When to Use

  • Input reaches HTML, JS, SQL, templates, URL fetchers, XML parsers, or shell
  • You have not yet decided whether to start with XSS, SQLi, SSRF, XXE, SSTI, CMDi, or NoSQL
  • You need to choose the correct deep-topic skill based on input flow

Skill Map

  1. First identify the final sink of the input
  2. Then choose the topic skill that best matches that interpreter
  3. Small payload samples and quick triage are merged into each main skill; no extra payload router is needed
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

injection-checking is a skill published in the GitHub repository yaklang/hack-skills (2,004 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 597 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
