Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `evals/recall.json`).

It sits in Security, covering Vulnerability scanning. It works with Jenkins and WordPress. 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。

模板搜索与提取 Payload
批量目标扫描
结果分析与验证

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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, 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

Nuclei Scan loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 150 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.1k

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 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 150 words (~1,062 tokens).

“Nuclei 是 ProjectDiscovery 开源的基于模板的漏洞扫描器。它的核心价值：社区维护的模板库，每个模板都是经过验证的 PoC，比自己构造 payload 更可靠。”
