What it does

Builtin Agent Skill is an agent skill from samugit83/redamon. Adding a built-in Agent Skill (an attack technique like ssrf, xxe, rce) that ships hardcoded in RedAmon: classified by the Intent Router, injected into the agent prompt, toggled per project, badged in the chat drawer. Nine layers across agentic and webapp, two of which fail with no error. Trigger: adding or editing a built-in attack skill; a new agentic/prompts/<skillidprompts.py; editing agentic/prompts/classification.py, agentic/prompts/init.py injectbuiltinskillworkflow, KNOWNATTACKPATHS in agentic/state.py…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 and Web application vulnerabilities. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, self-hosted AI penetration testing framework: maps your attack surface into a graph, autonomously exploits it from a Kali sandbox with human approval gates, and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Penetration testing
  • Tasks that involve Web application vulnerabilities

Example prompts

  • “/builtin-agent-skill”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d90c940. 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:

    • docker
    • python3

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Builtin Agent Skill loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 151 tokens; SKILL.md has 406 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~151
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

When to Use

  • Adding a first-class attack technique the agent classifies and follows a workflow for.

For a user-uploadable workflow, use add-community-skill instead. For a tool the agent calls, use agentic-tool-integration. For per-skill tunable defaults, use project-settings-cascade.


Critical Rules

  • ALWAYS add the skill id to KNOWN_ATTACK_PATHS in agentic/state.py. It is the Pydantic validator's allowlist; miss it and the classifier's output is rejected at runtime even though every other layer is wired.
  • NEVER skip layers 8 and 9 (the chat-drawer layers). They live in webapp and produce no error when forgotten: the skill classifies and badges, but the drawer tooltip and one-click example prompts are silently missing. Layer 8 = BUILT_IN_SKILLS in attack-skills/available/route.ts; Layer 9 = a SESubGroup in suggestionData.ts.
  • NEVER let classification keywords overlap an existing skill. Every enabled built-in competes for the same user message; overlapping keywords (e.g. saying "SQL" in an SSRF section) make both skills mis-route. Disambiguate in the "Key distinction" line of the section in classification.py.
  • ALWAYS gate the workflow on the required tool inside _inject_builtin_skill_workflow() (agentic/prompts/init.py:509): and "<tool>" in allowed_tools. Without the guard the agent gets instructions for a tool TOOL_PHASE_MAP blocks in that phase.
  • NEVER assume existing projects inherit the new skill. builtIn is a strict has-key check; existing projects need a jsonb update to attackSkillConfig.
  • ALWAYS add a registry entry for a per-skill tunable that became a Project column in recon_settings/registry.yaml. A test walking Prisma.ProjectScalarFieldEnum fails until every column has one. Draft it with python3 tooling/scripts/extract_recon_registry.py, edit it, then python3 recon_settings/build.py. An attack-skill tunable is ordinary mcp: settable tuning now, bounded by its registry entry and gated at scan start by roeForbiddenCategories, roeForbiddenTools and roeAllowDos rather than by being unreachable. Give it traffic: active so it joins the queued-job fingerprint, and roe_capped: true if its unit is rps.
  • Pick the snake_case id once and use that exact literal in all 9 layers. grep -rn "<skill_id>" webapp/src agentic must show it everywhere before you rebuild (an existing id like cve_exploit spans ~38 files).
