Curated library of 78 offensive security SKILL.md modules that prime Claude with expert red team methodology across web, AD, wireless, cloud, and exploit development.
Offensive security skills for Claude — drop-in SKILL.md files that turn Claude into a context-aware red team operator.
Overview • Quickstart • Categories • Skill Index • Roadmap • Contributing
claude-red is a curated library of offensive security skills for the Claude Skills system. Each skill is a structured SKILL.md file that primes Claude with expert-level methodology for a specific attack surface — from SQL injection to shellcode, EDR evasion to ADCS abuse.
Drop a skill into your Claude environment and it behaves like a domain specialist: it knows the techniques, the tooling, the edge cases, and the escalation paths. Skills load on demand based on conversational triggers — you don't pay context for skills you aren't using.
Use cases: authorized red team engagements, bug bounty triage, security research, CTF preparation, operator training, and methodical attack surface exploration.
git clone https://github.com/SnailSploit/claude-red ~/.claude/skills/claude-red
Claude auto-loads matching skills based on conversational triggers (e.g., mentioning SQL injection loads offensive-sqli).
To install a single category:
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/SnailSploit/claude-red
cd claude-red && git sparse-checkout set Skills/web Skills/active-directory
cat Skills/web/offensive-sqli/SKILL.md | claude --system-file -
cat Skills/active-directory/**/SKILL.md | claude --system-file -
Paste the contents of a SKILL.md into a Project's system prompt or prepend it to your conversation.
