Frequently asked questions about penetration-testing

What does the penetration-testing skill do?

Perform basic penetration testing and security assessments. Use reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, and exploitation techniques. Use when validating security controls or assessing system security. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the penetration-testing skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install devops-security-agent-skills-penetration-testing` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/devops-security-agent-skills-penetration-testing/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does penetration-testing work with?

penetration-testing runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the penetration-testing skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use penetration-testing after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/devops-security-agent-skills-penetration-testing` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the penetration-testing skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
