sql-injection-testing

This skill should be used when the user asks to "test for SQL injection vulnerabilities", "perform SQLi attacks", "bypass authentication using SQL injection", "extract database information through injection", "detect SQL injection flaws", or "exploit database query vulnerabilities". It provides comprehensive techniques for identifying, exploiting, and understanding SQL injection attack vectors across different database systems.

Quality

Content

65%

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

Highly actionable with concrete payloads and a clear phase sequence, but it is a long monolithic document that repeats material across sections and lacks the validation checkpoints the rubric requires for database-operation workflows.

Suggestions

Move the payload catalogs, Quick Reference, and Examples into separate reference files (e.g., PAYLOADS.md, EXAMPLES.md) and link them one level deep from SKILL.md to fix progressive disclosure and reduce token load.

Add explicit validation checkpoints between phases (e.g., confirm a confirmed injection before extraction, re-fingerprint after WAF evasion) to establish the feedback loops expected for database-operation workflows.

De-duplicate payloads that appear in both Core Workflow and the Quick Reference/Examples sections to tighten conciseness.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The ~449-line body is accurate and largely payload-focused, but the Quick Reference and Examples sections repeat payloads already shown in the Core Workflow phases, and some explanatory framing (e.g., basic comment/encoding concepts) restates what Claude already knows — mostly efficient but could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

Provides concrete, copy-paste-ready SQL payloads for UNION, error-based, blind, time-based, and OOB extraction plus database fingerprinting queries and a payload quick-list table — fully executable and specific.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Phases 1–4 are clearly sequenced, but this is a database-operation workflow lacking explicit validation gates between detection and exploitation; per the rubric, missing feedback loops for database operations caps workflow clarity at 2.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The body is well-sectioned but monolithic at ~449 lines with no bundle files or external references; payload catalogs and examples that should be split into separate reference files are inlined, fitting the level-2 anchor of content that should be separate kept inline.

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 description with explicit trigger phrases, a clear what/when structure, and a well-scoped niche. The only weakness is mild over-claim fluff ("comprehensive techniques") that could be trimmed.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names concrete actions — "identifying, exploiting, and understanding SQL injection attack vectors" — alongside attack-vector coverage across database systems; only minor fluff ("comprehensive techniques") keeps it from being flawless, but it lists multiple specific actions like the level-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both: what ("provides comprehensive techniques for identifying, exploiting, and understanding...") and when ("should be used when the user asks to...") with explicit trigger guidance, matching the level-3 anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Quotes six natural user phrases including the common abbreviation "SQLi" ("perform SQLi attacks", "test for SQL injection vulnerabilities", "bypass authentication using SQL injection"), giving good coverage of terms users would actually say.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

SQL injection is a clear, narrow niche with distinct triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills, matching the level-3 "clear niche with distinct triggers" anchor.
