BC pilot-penetration-testing-setup

Deploy an automated penetration testing pipeline with 4 agents. Use this skill when: 1. User wants to set up a penetration testing or security assessment pipeline 2. User is configuring an agent as part of a vulnerability scanning workflow 3. User asks about recon, vulnerability scanning, exploit validation, or pentest reporting across agents Do NOT use this skill when: - User wants to run a single vulnerability scan (use pilot-task-parallel instead) - User wants to send a one-off security alert (use pilot-webhook-bridge instead)

What is at stake

Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.

Broad scope medium severity

Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.

If you install

The skill asks for more than the task needs: broad tool access, credential environment variables, binaries. Every extra permission widens the damage from a mistake or a compromise.

For the author

Narrow allowed-tools and the variable list to the minimum; replace binaries with readable sources or scripts.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

    External checks

    ClawHub: suspicious
    The skill is a coherent penetration-testing setup tool, but it configures persistent agent state and external reporting of sensitive findings without enough user-control safeguards.
