Security Testing Agent Skill
>- (DAST), dependency/supply-chain scanning (OSV-Scanner, SBOM, provenance), Semgrep SAST, auth/session tests (JWT, OAuth, RBAC), and XSS/CSRF/SQLi/SSRF Playwright patterns. "auth testing," "OWASP LLM Top 10." Scope is automated scanning + negative-path security tests in CI, not manual penetration testing. pipeline stage wiring and deploy gating mechanics — use ci-cd-integration; purely functional API auth/input tests with no attacker model — see api-testing; testing your product's own LLM features or defending the agent itself (prompt-injection detector, indirect injection, jailbreak red-teaming) — use ai-system-testing.

How to use it
Take petrkindlmann/security-testing from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference npm, npx, docker.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
