What it does

Authentication is an agent skill from transilienceai/communitytools. Authentication security testing - auth bypass, JWT attacks, OAuth flaws, password attacks, 2FA bypass, CAPTCHA bypass, and bot detection evasion.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 72 other files (for example `reference/BOT_DETECTION.md`, `reference/CAPTCHA_BYPASS.md` and `reference/INDEX.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authentication and OAuth and OpenID Connect. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Claude Code skills, agents, and slash commands for AI-powered penetration testing, bug bounty hunting, and security research. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Authentication
  • Tasks that involve OAuth and OpenID Connect

Example prompts

  • “/authentication”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Analyze auth implementation (forms, tokens, 2FA, CAPTCHA)
  2. Test bypass vectors per technique type
  3. Use Playwright MCP with human-like behavior (typing 80-200ms, random pauses)
  4. Capture evidence (screenshots, network logs, tokens)
  5. Document findings with PoC scripts

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 95fdc12. 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

    Ships script files (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    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

Authentication loads about 610 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 188 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~610

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.

Authentication security testing - auth bypass, JWT attacks, OAuth flaws, password attacks, 2FA bypass, CAPTCHA bypass, and bot detection evasion.

Authentication

Test authentication mechanisms including login security, token handling, 2FA, CAPTCHA, and bot detection.

Techniques

TypeKey Vectors
Auth BypassDefault credentials, logic flaws, response manipulation
ADFS/SAMLGolden SAML, token signing cert theft, assertion manipulation, SAML wrapping
JWTAlgorithm confusion, key injection, claim tampering, token forging
OAuthRedirect manipulation, CSRF, token leakage, scope abuse
PasswordBrute force, credential stuffing, password policy bypass
2FA BypassResponse manipulation, direct endpoint access, code reuse, race conditions
CAPTCHA BypassMissing server validation, token reuse, OCR, parameter manipulation
Bot DetectionBehavioral biometrics simulation, fingerprint randomization, stealth mode

Tools

PasswordGenerator (tools/password_generator.py):

python
from tools.password_generator import generate_password
password = generate_password(hint_text="8-16 chars, uppercase, numbers")

CredentialManager (tools/credential_manager.py):

python
from tools.credential_manager import CredentialManager
mgr = CredentialManager()
mgr.store_credential(target="example.com", username="test", password="pass")

Workflow

  1. Analyze auth implementation (forms, tokens, 2FA, CAPTCHA)
  2. Test bypass vectors per technique type
  3. Use Playwright MCP with human-like behavior (typing 80-200ms, random pauses)
  4. Capture evidence (screenshots, network logs, tokens)
  5. Document findings with PoC scripts

Authentication is an agent skill from transilienceai/communitytools. Authentication security testing - auth bypass, JWT attacks, OAuth flaws, password attacks, 2FA bypass, CAPTCHA bypass, and bot detection evasion.

When should I use Authentication?

Authentication fits situations like: tasks that involve Authentication; tasks that involve OAuth and OpenID Connect.

How do I install Authentication in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add transilienceai/communitytools --skill authentication -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/authentication in transilienceai/communitytools) into .claude/skills/authentication in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Authentication in Codex?

Run `npx skills add transilienceai/communitytools --skill authentication -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/authentication in transilienceai/communitytools) into .agents/skills/authentication in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Authentication in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add transilienceai/communitytools --skill authentication -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/authentication, .gemini/skills/authentication, .github/skills/authentication and .opencode/skills/authentication in your project.

What does Authentication need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Authentication needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Authentication access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Authentication safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Authentication use?

Authentication is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Authentication use?

About 610 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Authentication?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Authentication: Fortify Development (coollabsio/coolify, 63k stars), Cognito (itsmostafa/aws-agent-skills, 1.2k stars), Security Review (doorkeeper-gem/doorkeeper, 5.5k stars) and OAuth Account Setup (spinabot/brigade, 11k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Authentication?

transilienceai (a GitHub organization) maintains it in transilienceai/communitytools, which has 562 GitHub stars. The repository holds 35 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on July 29, 2026.
