What it does

Plan Pci Dss Penetration Test is an agent skill from cyberful/cyberful. Plan an authorized PCI DSS penetration test around the cardholder data environment, critical systems, internal and external coverage, segmentation, tester independence, remediation, retesting, and evidence retention. Use when defining a PCI DSS 11.4 methodology or engagement.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `assets/pci-penetration-test-plan.schema.json` and `assets/pci-penetration-test-plan.template.json`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Healthcare and finance regulation. The repository describes itself as: Cyberful is an open-source AI Red Team for discovering, exploiting, verifying, and remediating vulnerabilities. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Defining a PCI DSS 11.4 methodology
  • Tasks that involve Healthcare and finance regulation

Example prompts

  • “/plan-pci-dss-penetration-test”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec598a6. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs-prv.pcisecuritystandards.org
    • pcisecuritystandards.org

    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

Plan Pci Dss Penetration Test loads about 943 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 328 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~943
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

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.

Plan a PCI DSS Penetration Test

Build a test plan that is authorized, representative of the real cardholder data environment, and traceable to the entity's defined methodology. Do not treat a vulnerability scan, an ASV scan, or a generic application test as a substitute for penetration testing.

Establish the planning basis

Read references/pci-penetration-methodology.md. Treat PCI DSS v4.0.1 as normative. Use the PCI SSC Penetration Testing Guidance v1.1 only as supplemental methodology: it predates v4.0.1 and references the former Requirement 11.3.

Confirm the entity type, assessment period, authorization owner, tester independence, CDE owner, significant changes, previous threats and vulnerabilities, and evidence-handling restrictions. A plan records authority; it does not create it.

Resolve scope before coverage

Use trace-cardholder-data-environment when CDE boundaries, account-data flows, connected-to systems, critical systems, third-party paths, administrative access, or scope-reduction claims are uncertain. Do not silently accept a supplied asset list as the complete CDE.

Define internal and external vantage points and both application-layer and network-layer coverage. Relate every target and test family to a CDE boundary, critical system, data flow, scope-reduction control, significant change, or threat observed during the previous 12 months.

Use test-cardholder-data-segmentation when segmentation reduces scope. Cover every segmentation method in use and record why any representative sampling is sufficient.

Produce the engagement contract

Complete assets/pci-penetration-test-plan.template.json under assets/pci-penetration-test-plan.schema.json. Include rules of engagement, stop conditions, communication and incident paths, handling of encountered account data, tester-origin details, test windows, request or effect limits, cleanup, success criteria, evidence retention, remediation ownership, and retest criteria.

Route specialist execution to the narrowest Cyberful skills. Preserve the plan as the coverage ledger that ties their evidence together; do not duplicate their procedures here.

Close planning gaps explicitly

Do not label an unknown boundary, unavailable environment, absent test account, or unapproved effect as covered. Record the exact dependency and owner. After execution, use audit-pci-dss-penetration-test-evidence to reconcile the plan, results, remediation, and retests without issuing an automated compliance verdict.
