Pen Testing Assistant
Automate vulnerability assessment and generate professional penetration test reports
What You Can Do
Plan and execute penetration tests with Claude guidance on vulnerability identification, attack path mapping, and risk assessment. You'll accelerate recon automation strategy, CVSS scoring, and report writing—transforming raw scan data into executive-ready security findings with remediation timelines that stakeholders understand and act on.
Features
Extract, categorize, and risk-rate findings from Burp, ZAP, or Nessus scan output
Generate accurate CVSS v3.1 scores with technical justification for each vulnerability
Model exploitation chains, identify chaining opportunities, and document proof-of-concept steps
Draft professional findings sections with business impact, technical details, and evidence references
Create prioritized fix recommendations with effort estimates and compliance cross-references
Design systematic reconnaissance strategies and tool orchestration workflows for scope targets
Build checklists for capturing screenshots, logs, and artifacts during testing phases
Cross-reference findings to OWASP Top 10, CWE, NIST CSF, and regulatory frameworks (PCI-DSS, HIPAA)
Example Output
Example 1: Vulnerability Summary
Vulnerability: SQL Injection in User Search
CVSS Score: 9.8 (Critical)
Affected Component: /search?q=[USER_INPUT]
Attack Vector: Network, no auth required
Remediaton: Parameterized queries + input validation
Effort: 4 hours | Timeline: Sprint N+1
Example 2: Attack Path
1. Enumerate subdomains → identify exposed admin panel
2. Exploit default credentials → gain admin access
3. Access database connection string from config file
4. Extract credentials → pivot to internal systems
Example 3: Professional Findings Section During network reconnaissance, we discovered 12 external-facing services with weak TLS configurations (TLS 1.0/1.1) and self-signed certificates. An attacker could intercept encrypted communications. Impact: Data exposure, compliance violation. Recommendation: Upgrade to TLS 1.2+, use CA-signed certificates.

Rapidly analyze production incidents by correlating observability signals—logs, metrics, traces, and events—to identify the true root cause instead of symptoms. You'll reconstruct incident timelines, quantify impact scope, and generate both immediate remediation steps and long-term prevention measures.
Claude analyzes your code diffs and generates standardized commit messages that follow the Conventional Commits specification. The skill automatically determines the correct commit type, scope, and description based on the changes you've made, ensuring your messages are parseable by automation tools while remaining human-readable for code reviewers.
You'll transform high-level feature requirements into a complete development plan covering API design, frontend implementation, testing strategy, and documentation. The skill helps you identify dependencies, parallelize work across frontend and backend teams, and establish quality gates that ensure features ship bug-free with proper error handling and logging.
Transform schema and data changes into production-ready migration packages that protect data integrity and minimize downtime. You can handle column additions, renames, type conversions, and backfills using proven patterns like expand-contract and shadow tables. The skill generates explicit rollback scripts, validation checklists, and phased execution plans that keep applications stable throughout the migration.
You can create comprehensive performance testing strategies tailored to your application's architecture, analyze test results to identify bottlenecks, and generate prioritized recommendations for optimization. The skill helps you design load tests, interpret metrics like latency and throughput, and create action plans for performance improvements.
