Improvements and Advanced Techniques

Agent Skill
Install a portable Agent Skill to use this knowledge base from Cursor, Claude and other agents for Agentic testing, Secure Coding and knowledgebase.
Who it's for: bug hunters, security testers, and penetration testers running real engagements through an agent, not just browsing static docs. Ground rules keep autonomous use safe: authorization is confirmed before active testing, high-impact actions are gated, findings pass a false-positive check before being drafted, and automated requests are paced to respect program rate limits.
Install (project-local):
npx skills add m14r41/PentestingEverything --skill pentesting-everything
Install globally (available across projects):
npx skills add m14r41/PentestingEverything --skill pentesting-everything --global
Target a specific client (examples):
npx skills add m14r41/PentestingEverything --skill pentesting-everything --agent cursor
npx skills add m14r41/PentestingEverything --skill pentesting-everything --agent claude-code
List without installing:
npx skills add m14r41/PentestingEverything --list
