Agent skill

Nmap Scan

使用 nmap 进行端口扫描和服务识别。当需要对目标进行精细端口扫描、服务版本探测、操作系统指纹识别、NSE 脚本漏洞扫描时使用。nmap 是最经典的网络扫描器，支持 SYN/TCP/UDP/ACK 等多种扫描模式，内置 600+ NSE 脚本。任何涉及端口扫描、服务识别、漏洞脚本扫描、操作系统指纹的场景都应使用此技能。速度不如 naabu，但功能远超 naabu

Its SKILL.md is about 650 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. It works with Nmap. The repository describes itself as: Everything for pentest. | 渗透测试知识库，以 AI Agent 可执行的格式沉淀安全方法论。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d428372. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- nmap.org
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

Nmap Scan loads about 652 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 91 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~652

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.

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 91 words (~652 tokens).

“nmap 是最经典的网络扫描器，核心优势：服务版本识别（-sV）+ NSE 脚本生态（600+ 脚本）+ 操作系统指纹（-O）。虽然速度不如 naabu，但在深度探测方面无可替代。”
