About this skill
What does the red-team-tactics skill do?

Red team tactics principles based on MITRE ATT&CK. Attack phases, detection evasion, reporting.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill red-team-tactics --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
