# Vulnetix Vulnerability Lookup Skill This skill serves two purposes based on the argument provided: - **Vuln ID argument** (CVE-*, GHSA-*, PYSEC-*, etc.) --> retrieves detailed vulnerability intelligence and assesses its impact against the current repository - **Package name argument** (express, lodash, log4j-core, etc.) --> lists all known vulnerabilities for that package and identifies which ones affect your installed version **This skill does not modify application code** -- it only updates `.vulnetix/memory.yaml` to track findings. Use `/vulnetix:fix` for remediation, `/vulnetix:exploits` for exploit analysis, or `/vulnetix:remediation` for a context-aware remediation plan. ## Argument Detection Determine the mode from the argument: **Vuln lookup mode** -- argument matches any known vulnerability identifier pattern: - `CVE-*` (e.g., CVE-2021-44228) - `GHSA-*` (e.g., GHSA-jfh8-3a1q-hjz9) - `PYSEC-*`, `GO-*`, `RUSTSEC-*`, `EUVD-*`, `OSV-*`, `GSD-*`, `VDB-*`, `GCVE-*` - `SNYK-*`, `ZDI-*`, `MSCVE-*`, `MSRC-*`, `RHSA-*`, `TALOS-*`, `EDB-*` - `WORDFENCE-*`, `PATCHSTACK-*`, `MFSA*`, `JVNDB-*`, `CNVD-*`, `BDU:*`, `HUNTR-*` - `DSA-*`, `DLA-*`, `USN-*`, `ALSA-*`, `RLSA-*`, `MGASA-*`, `O

About this skill
What does the vuln skill do?

Look up a vulnerability by ID or list all vulnerabilities for a package

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill vuln --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 davepoon/buildwithclaude, a repository with 3,251 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.
