Orchestrate a penetration test by routing user intent to one or more of the 25 narrow skills in this pack. Confirms authorization + scope FIRST (cluster 5), runs the relevant scan skills (clusters 1-4), then composes findings into the customer deliverables (cluster 6) plus an integrity-attestable engagement archive (cluster 5). Backward-compatible with v2 invocations — "pentest", "security scan", "audit dependencies" still work but now route to the narrow skills instead of the v2 monolithic scripts.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill performing-penetration-testing --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills, a repository with 2,596 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
