What it does

Recon Crawl is an agent skill from Ch1nfo/RiftX. Attack-surface crawling with the crawl tool — BFS link/form/hidden-field collection, JS-bundle API route extraction, and auth boundary mapping through the scoped browser. Use this skill when user needs to map a web application's attack surface, enumerate endpoints, discover hidden API routes, or build an endpoint inventory before vulnerability testing.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/js-reverse.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Threat modeling and Browser automation. The repository describes itself as: Pentest anything you want. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User needs to map a web applications attack surface
  • Enumerate endpoints
  • Discover hidden API routes
  • Build an endpoint inventory before vulnerability testing

Example prompts

  • “/recon-crawl”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. 拿到入口就爬:browser navigate 建立首屏基线后,立即 crawl 一次性拿到结构化攻击面清单——这比手工逐页 snapshot 快一个数量级,且不会漏掉 JS 路由
  2. 参数选择:默认 maxPages=15, maxDepth=2;小型站点可 maxPages=30;只要单页深度信息时 maxDepth=0(只提取入口页自身的链接/表单/JS 路由)
  3. 读清单的顺序
  4. 分流:爬完把端点清单交给对应的 exploit skill(/api/* → api-testing;表单反射 → exploit-xss;下载/文件参数 → exploit-file-download);大站可 spawn_subagent 并行处理不同端点组
  5. 记录:爬到的暴露面(无需认证的管理端点、泄露的调试接口)验证后 record_finding;普通端点清单留在对话里即可,不要把每个 URL 都记成 finding

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e3369f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Recon Crawl loads about 718 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 214 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~718
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Attack-Surface Crawling (crawl)

crawl 走真实浏览器访问目标,必须遵守浏览器 scope 与速率约定;页面预算用最小够用的值,不要无差别扫全站。

RiftX Workflow

  1. 拿到入口就爬:browser navigate 建立首屏基线后,立即 crawl 一次性拿到结构化攻击面清单——这比手工逐页 snapshot 快一个数量级,且不会漏掉 JS 路由
  2. 参数选择:默认 maxPages=15, maxDepth=2;小型站点可 maxPages=30;只要单页深度信息时 maxDepth=0(只提取入口页自身的链接/表单/JS 路由)
  3. 读清单的顺序:
    • JS-discovered routes——SPA 的 API 地图,模型最容易漏的就是这里的非标准端点;逐个对照后续 exploit skill 的注入面清单
    • Forms(含 hidden 字段)——隐藏域是 mass assignment 与越权测试的入口(exploit-authz)
    • AUTH 标记的页面——login-walled 端点用 use_identity + cookies_import 带认证会话再测;匿名可达面优先测未授权访问
    • Cross-host leads——crawl 不跟随跨主机链接,但记下了 host 清单:核对后可扩大 scope 或交给 recon-subdomain/recon-dir-scan
  4. 分流:爬完把端点清单交给对应的 exploit skill(/api/* → api-testing;表单反射 → exploit-xss;下载/文件参数 → exploit-file-download);大站可 spawn_subagent 并行处理不同端点组
  5. 记录:爬到的暴露面(无需认证的管理端点、泄露的调试接口)验证后 record_finding;普通端点清单留在对话里即可,不要把每个 URL 都记成 finding

Methodology

何时用 crawl vs 其他侦察
需求工具
端点/表单/API 路由清单crawl(本 skill)
隐藏目录/备份文件recon-dir-scan(词表爆破,互补不替代)
技术栈/版本recon-fingerprint
子域recon-subdomain

标准顺序:crawl(拿地图)→ recon-fingerprint(定技术栈)→ recon-dir-scan(补爆破面)→ exploit skills。

crawl 结果的局限
  • 只跟随同 host 链接;跨 host 记为线索不访问
  • JS 路由提取是正则启发式:能拿到大部分字面量端点,拿不到运行时拼接的动态路由——对可疑前端代码配合 browser evaluate 手工追
  • 登录墙后的页面内容拿不到(只标注 AUTH);需要认证后的攻击面,先带身份再对关键路径逐个测

Testing Checklist

  • 入口页 crawl(默认参数)拿到基线清单
  • JS routes 逐条分派到 exploit skills
  • Forms 的 hidden 字段单独过一遍(tamper/mass assignment)
  • AUTH 页面带认证身份复测
  • cross-host leads 核对后决定是否扩大 scope
  • 大站按端点组分派 subagent 并行
  • 暴露面验证后 record_finding

Recording Results

Recon observations are working data, not findings — summarize them in the conversation. Reserve record_finding for actual exposures the crawl reveals (an unauthenticated admin endpoint, a leaked debug interface, a sensitive file in a linked path): one finding per concrete, evidence-backed conclusion, confidence set honestly, and evidence pointing at the proving tool call ({ "type": "tool", "toolCallId": "<id>", "toolName": "crawl" }). Findings persist with the session; there is no separate results database to write to.

Recon Crawl is an agent skill from Ch1nfo/RiftX. Attack-surface crawling with the crawl tool — BFS link/form/hidden-field collection, JS-bundle API route extraction, and auth boundary mapping through the scoped browser.

When should I use Recon Crawl?

Recon Crawl fits situations like: user needs to map a web applications attack surface; enumerate endpoints; discover hidden API routes; build an endpoint inventory before vulnerability testing.

How do I install Recon Crawl in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Ch1nfo/RiftX --skill recon-crawl -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (recommended-skills/recon-crawl in Ch1nfo/RiftX) into .claude/skills/recon-crawl in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Recon Crawl in Codex?

Run `npx skills add Ch1nfo/RiftX --skill recon-crawl -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (recommended-skills/recon-crawl in Ch1nfo/RiftX) into .agents/skills/recon-crawl in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Recon Crawl in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Ch1nfo/RiftX --skill recon-crawl -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/recon-crawl, .gemini/skills/recon-crawl, .github/skills/recon-crawl and .opencode/skills/recon-crawl in your project.

What does Recon Crawl need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Recon Crawl is instructions for the agent only.

Does Recon Crawl access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Recon Crawl safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Recon Crawl use?

Recon Crawl is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Recon Crawl use?

About 718 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.3k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.

What are the alternatives to Recon Crawl?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Recon Crawl: Fla Ascend Performance (fla-org/flash-linear-attention, 5.8k stars), Forensify (alexgreensh/repo-forensics, 188 stars), Create Rule (cartography-cncf/cartography, 4.1k stars) and Commit Security Scan (codexstar69/bug-hunter, 519 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
