What it does

Nuclei Suggest is an agent skill from forefy/.context. Browse the nuclei-templates library, recommend a scoped template set for a given stack, target, or CVE, then run it against an authorized target and report findings.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/browsing.md` and `references/install.md`). Compatibility notes: nuclei-templates, nuclei binary

It sits in Security, covering Vulnerability scanning. The repository describes itself as: AI Agent Skills, Goals and Dynamic Workflows for Security Auditing, Pentesting and Research. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Vulnerability scanning

Example prompts

  • “/nuclei-suggest”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): nuclei-templates, nuclei binary

Workflow steps

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

  1. Index once into id, path, severity, tags, tier, replicable; rebuild only when the templates tree mtime changes. See references/browsing.md…
  2. Confirm scope before any run: in-scope hosts, desired posture (e.g. passive v.s. active scan), and whether OAST callbacks are workable…
  3. Tier by blast radius from template contents: file/, dns/, ssl/ and single benign GETs are safe; intrusive, brute, fuzz, unsafe: true and…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c8ff161. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    nuclei-templates, nuclei binary

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Nuclei Suggest loads about 625 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 312 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~625
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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.

Methodology

  1. Index once into id, path, severity, tags, tier, replicable; rebuild only when the templates tree mtime changes. See references/browsing.md for traversal.

  2. Confirm scope before any run: in-scope hosts, desired posture (e.g. passive v.s. active scan), and whether OAST callbacks are workable within the enivronment.

  3. Tier by blast radius from template contents: file/, dns/, ssl/ and single benign GETs are safe; intrusive, brute, fuzz, unsafe: true and interactsh require extra user consideration; code/ executes on your own host and should almost never be used. Honor .nuclei-ignore and never exceed the confirmed ceiling.

Run preferences

Run the scoped set with -duc (disable the update check, which otherwise stalls scripted runs), -jsonl -irr -store-resp -srd <dir> for structured output plus captured request/response, -etags above the cap, -rl rate limiting, and a self-hosted OAST server if callbacks are permitted. On a target that returns a 200 catch-all (SPA app shell), prefer content/word matchers over status-only templates, which false-positive. Treat a skipped template as unrun, not clean.

Output

Surface every finding, ranked by severity, with: its template-id; a full clickable template link, https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates/blob/<sha>/<template-path> where <sha> is git -C <clone> rev-parse HEAD, commit-pinned so the link is the exact template that fired; the matched-at URL; and the captured evidence, http/dns from the JSONL request/response and ssl/network from the stored file under -srd. In the response, re-run the template's own matcher (words/regex/dsl) to locate the indicator and mark it: ANSI-highlight the matched span in a terminal, caret-underline it when piped no-color, and name the pattern that fired.

Researcher needs to know exactly which templates were executed, and if some returned true positive, then the exact request/response or execution log and what indicator is bad.
