What it does

Web Recon is an agent skill from NeoTheCapt/RedteamAgent. Enumerate web technologies, headers, endpoints, and metadata from a target

Its SKILL.md is about 770 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 Bug bounty and 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 Bug bounty
  • Tasks that involve Penetration testing

Example prompts

  • “/web-recon”

Workflow steps

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

  1. HTTP Header Analysis
  2. Technology Fingerprinting
  3. CMS Detection
  4. SSL/TLS Analysis
  5. Well-Known Files
  6. JS File Extraction (surface-level — deep analysis is source-analyzer's job)
  7. HTML Source (surface-level — deep analysis is source-analyzer's job)

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:

    • openssl

    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

Web Recon loads about 770 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 103 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~770

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 103 words (~770 tokens).

“run_tool curl, run_tool whatweb, openssl, grep/sed/jq”
