pentesting-with-aws-security-agent

Run an AWS Security Agent penetration test against a live web application — registers and verifies the target domain, exercises the supplied endpoints with the managed Security Agent service, and returns verified runtime findings. Use when the user asks to pentest, run a penetration test, test their app's attack surface, find runtime vulnerabilities, register or verify a target domain, or check pentest status / findings.

Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, executable runbook with concrete AWS CLI commands, well-sequenced steps, and validation checkpoints appropriate to a live pentest. It assumes Claude's competence and avoids unnecessary explanation while keeping the operational specifics that matter.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

A lean operational runbook using tables, command blocks, and terse directives ('Capture pentestId', 'Do not poll faster'); nearly every token earns its place and it avoids teaching concepts Claude already knows. The few explanatory lines (pentest duration, role scope) are operationally necessary context, not padding, so it stays at the 'lean and efficient' anchor rather than the 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' score 2.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides fully executable `aws securityagent ...` commands with real flags, a placeholder-resolution table, concrete JSON shapes for state persistence, exact polling intervals, and precise file paths — copy-paste ready rather than pseudocode.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clearly numbered Register→Create→Start→Poll→Findings→Stop sequence with explicit validation checkpoints for an active/destructive operation: authorization confirmation, agent-space existence check, domain-verification prerequisite, terminal-state polling handling, and 'show the failure first' error recovery. Validation is present (not missing), so it is not capped at 2.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist; the body appropriately delegates setup to a separate `setup-security-agent` skill and external `.security-agent/*.json` state, and is organized into clear, self-contained sections with no content that needs splitting — matching the 'well-organized, single-file' allowance for the 'clear overview' anchor.

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, third-person description that states concrete capabilities and pairs them with an explicit, multi-trigger 'Use when' clause. It is concise, specific, and unlikely to be selected for the wrong skill.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names multiple concrete actions — 'registers and verifies the target domain', 'exercises the supplied endpoints with the managed Security Agent service', and 'returns verified runtime findings' — matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor rather than the narrower score-2 'names domain and some actions'.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (the concrete actions) and when via a 'Use when...' clause listing multiple triggers, matching the 'clearly answers both what AND when' anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Covers natural user phrasings — 'pentest', 'run a penetration test', "test their app's attack surface", 'find runtime vulnerabilities', 'register or verify a target domain', 'check pentest status / findings' — broad coverage of what a user would actually say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Carves a clear niche (AWS Security Agent pentest against a live web app) with distinct triggers unlikely to collide with generic code-scan or document skills.
