What it does

Sensitive Data Detection is an agent skill from NeoTheCapt/RedteamAgent. Detect PII, credentials, and corporate sensitive data in API responses, source code, files, headers, and database extracts

Its SKILL.md is about 5.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Security, covering Penetration testing. The repository describes itself as: An AI red-team agent for authorized labs and web app pentesting workflows. Turns Claude Code / OpenCode / Codex into a structured recon → test → exploit → report workflow, with…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Penetration testing

Example prompts

  • “/sensitive-data-detection”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Automated Pattern Scan
  2. JSON Field Name Analysis
  3. Authenticated Privileged Data Sweep
  4. HTTP Header & Cookie Inspection
  5. File Content Classification
  6. Database Extract Classification
  7. CTF / Juice Shop Recall Sweep

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e60476. 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:

    • rg
    • jq
    • python3
    • swift

    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

Sensitive Data Detection loads about 5.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,530 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.1k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:331
    | AWS Key | AKIA****WXYZ | .env in FTP backup | CRITICAL | 1 |

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,530 words (~5,118 tokens).
