Overview

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.
