How to use the Unlimited Attack Scope agent skill

Updated · written with AI from the project's own documentation and checked against our catalogue data

Unlimited Attack Scope is an agent skill: a single SKILL.md instruction file that you load into an AI agent so it approaches penetration-testing work with a broader mindset. This guide explains what the skill changes, how to install it, how to trigger it with plain requests, and the safety limits you must keep in place. It is aimed at security testers who already have written authorisation for their targets.

Quick start

  1. 1Confirm authorisation. Check that you have written permission to test the exact target and domain. Do not start until the scope is clear.
  2. 2Download the ZIP. Download the skill ZIP from our page.
  3. 3Install the skill. Unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ for personal use or into a project's .claude/skills/ folder, or upload it under Settings → Capabilities → Skills in the Claude apps.
  4. 4Make a scoped request. Name the domain, the authorised target and the goal, and ask for verified findings and a record of negative results.
  5. 5Verify and review. Check each finding the agent reports and review any chained attack path before acting on it.

What the Unlimited Attack Scope skill makes the agent do

The skill is a short instruction file, not a tool. It tells the agent to treat its penetration-testing work as having no fixed boundaries. In practice that means four habits: search widely across channels, verify findings rather than assuming them, combine small weaknesses into larger breakthroughs, and record negative results as well as positive ones.

The file also tells the agent to switch approaches when blocked and to keep working toward a result rather than stopping at the first obstacle. It names many target types, including Web, APK, EXE, internal networks, cloud, firmware, blockchain, AI, wireless, hardware and social engineering.

The file is written in Chinese with English keywords. It mainly sets a mindset and scope. It does not add specific tools, commands or step-by-step procedures, so the agent's actual methods still come from the agent and from you.

  • Search across multiple channels rather than one source
  • Treat a search result as a lead, not a confirmed vulnerability
  • Chain small weaknesses into a larger finding
  • Log negative results as facts
  • Change approach when a path is blocked

Install the skill from the ZIP file

Download the ZIP for the skill from our page. Unzip it into one of two locations. For a personal skill available across your projects, unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/. For a skill that only applies to one project, unzip it into that project's .claude/skills/ folder.

If you use the Claude apps instead, you can upload the skill there. Open Settings, go to Capabilities, then Skills, and upload the skill from the ZIP file.

  • Personal install: ~/.claude/skills/
  • Project install: the .claude/skills/ folder inside your project
  • Claude apps: Settings → Capabilities → Skills, then upload

How to trigger the skill with natural requests

The skill's description says to use it when you are reminding the agent that scope is unlimited across Web, APK, cloud, AI, wireless and social engineering work. In practice, name the domain and the goal in plain language and say that the work is authorised. You do not need special syntax.

Because the skill is a mindset reminder, it works best alongside a clear task. Give the agent the target scope you have been authorised to test, the goal of the assessment, and what you want back, such as a list of verified findings and a log of what was ruled out.

  • Name the domain: for example, Web application or wireless network
  • State the authorised scope and the goal of the test
  • Ask for verified findings and a record of negative results
  • Ask the agent to try another approach if one is blocked

Example requests you can adapt

The examples below show the shape of a good request. Replace the bracketed parts with your own authorised scope. Keep the request specific about what counts as success and what must be verified before it is reported.

Notice that each request states that the work is authorised and limits the target to what you have been given. That keeps the broad mindset tied to a defined engagement.

  • Under our written authorisation for [target], run a web application assessment and only report findings you have verified.
  • For the authorised wireless lab at [site], look at weak configurations and record any approach that did not work.
  • Within the agreed scope of [cloud account], test whether separate weaknesses could combine into a higher-impact finding, and verify each step.
  • If the first method on [APK sample] is blocked, propose a different approach and note why the first one failed.

What the skill needs and the safety limits

The skill lists no requirements. It does not run scripts and does not use the network by itself. The file is only instructions. Whatever the agent actually does on a target depends on the tools and access you give it, so control those carefully.

The file explicitly encourages unlimited exploration and chaining of weaknesses. That is exactly why you must have written authorisation for every target. Without it, following this guidance could lead to unlawful intrusion or damage. Confirm scope before you start, and stop if the target falls outside it.

  • Requires: nothing listed in the skill
  • Runs scripts: no
  • Uses network: no
  • Only test systems you have written authorisation to test
  • Keep the agent's tool access limited to the agreed scope

Tips for getting useful results

Because the skill gives principles rather than procedures, its value depends on how well you frame the task. Clear scope, clear success criteria and a requirement to verify each finding will do more than any extra wording about being thorough.

Ask for negative results too. The skill itself treats them as facts, and a log of what was ruled out saves time on repeat tests and gives your report a stronger basis.

  • Write the scope and the goal before the first request
  • Ask the agent to verify each finding before reporting it
  • Request a record of what was tried and failed
  • Review the agent's chained findings yourself before acting on them

What people use it for

  • Structuring an authorised web application assessment so the agent verifies findings instead of reporting raw search hits
  • Prompting an agent to consider how several minor issues might combine during an authorised red team exercise
  • Keeping a clear log of negative results across a multi-domain engagement
  • Studying how prompt-based instructions shape an agent's offensive security behaviour

Frequently asked questions

Is the Unlimited Attack Scope skill free?

The skill is published in the AIPentest/CyberStrikeAI repository under the Apache-2.0 licence. Check the licence file in that repository for the terms that apply to your use.

What do I need to install the unlimited-attack-scope skill?

The skill lists no requirements and does not run scripts or use the network. You download the ZIP from our page and unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/ or a project's .claude/skills/ folder, or upload it in the Claude apps under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

Does this skill teach me how to do penetration testing?

No. The skill is a short instruction file that sets a mindset and scope. It gives principles such as verifying findings and chaining weaknesses, not specific tools or step-by-step procedures. Beginners should look for a structured guide first.

Is it safe to use for penetration testing?

Only on targets you have written authorisation to test. The file explicitly encourages unlimited exploration and chaining, which could cause unlawful intrusion or damage if used without permission. It runs no scripts and uses no network on its own.

What are the alternatives to this skill?

The skill itself is only a mindset reminder. If you need concrete procedures or tools, look for a skill or guide that documents specific testing steps. Compare any option by checking whether it lists its requirements, scripts and network use.

Why is the skill written in Chinese, and will it work for me?

The file is written in Chinese with English keywords. The agent can still act on the instructions, but if you read Chinese poorly, check the file yourself and write your requests in the language you prefer.

Our verdict

Use this skill if you already run authorised penetration tests and want your agent to think more broadly about attack paths, especially across several domains. Pick something else if you need step-by-step instructions, specific tools, or a beginner's introduction to security testing, because this file gives principles only.
