Overview

claude-red is a collection of 78 SKILL.md files that prime Claude with expert methodology for specific attack surfaces, from SQL injection and XSS to ADCS abuse, EDR evasion and wireless protocol attacks. Skills load on demand based on conversational triggers, so Claude only consumes context for the domain actually being discussed. Intended for authorized red team engagements, bug bounty work, CTF prep and security research rather than general-purpose coding.

Who it is for: Authorized red teamers, bug bounty hunters and security researchers using Claude

Strengths

  • 78 skills across 23 categories covering web, AD, wireless, cloud, mobile and exploit dev
  • Skills load on demand by trigger, avoiding permanent context overhead
  • Sparse-checkout and install script let you pull only the categories you need
  • MIT licensed and actively maintained with a stated roadmap toward ~130 skills

Weaknesses

  • No code or tooling of its own, only prompt/methodology files for an LLM
  • No Docker or compose setup, install is manual git clone or shell script
  • Effectiveness depends entirely on Claude's own capability, not tested automation
  • Content is purely instructional text with no verification of accuracy claims

What it needs

  • no GPU
  • Needs Claude (Claude.ai, Claude Code, or Claude Skills system)
  • Models: Claude
