CC performing-directory-traversal-testing

Test web applications for path traversal and Local/Remote File Inclusion vulnerabilities by manipulating file path parameters, applying encoding and filter-bypass techniques, automating discovery with ffuf and dotdotpwn, and reading high-value files or achieving code execution. Use during authorized penetration tests of file download, view, or include functionality, or when assessing APIs that accept file names or file paths as parameters.

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.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 64/100

    • 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
    • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
    • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
    • 100Steps. 11 steps
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2663 tokens
    • 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

    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.

    Quality signals

    • +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
    • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
    • -4Absolute local paths (C:\Users, /home/…): not portable
    • -41 reference files, but SKILL.md never points to them: the model will not open them
    • -31 of 1 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
    • +2Single-language instructions
    • +3Description length 443: enough signal without eating the budget
    • +4Structure: 18 headings
    • +3Step-by-step instructions: 11 items
    • +3Output format is stated explicitly
    • +4Has examples (7 code blocks)
