CC performing-web-application-scanning-with-nikto

Runs Nikto, an open-source web server and web application scanner, to test over 7,000 potentially dangerous files/programs, check for outdated versions across 1,250+ servers, and identify XSS, SQL injection, misconfigurations, default credentials, and vulnerable CGI scripts. Use when performing web application vulnerability scanning, security assessments, scheduled security testing, or validating web server security controls.

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 58/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
    • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
    • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 30Running it twice. 2 mutating operations with no state check
    • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
    • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
    • 100Steps. 42 steps
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1830 tokens

    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)
    • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
    • -43 reference files, but SKILL.md never points to them: the model will not open them
    • -32 of 2 scripts are never mentioned in SKILL.md
    • +2Single-language instructions
    • +3Description length 429: enough signal without eating the budget
    • +4Structure: 20 headings
    • +3Step-by-step instructions: 42 items
    • +4Has examples (6 code blocks)
    • +1License stated

    Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 75.
