Individual skill
tools-nuclei
Operate nuclei for template-based vulnerability scanning at scale — severity/tag selection, bulk targets, rate limiting, proxying, JSON output, and safe custom templates. Load when you have live hosts from recon and need known-CVE/misconfig/exposure sweeps, or when scanner hits need validation. Signals: nuclei, -severity critical,high, nuclei-templates, -tags cve, "9000+ templates", httpx | nuclei pipelines.

# nuclei vulnerability scanning
## When it applies
Recon has produced live in-scope hosts (`automation-recon-pipeline`) and you want fast coverage of
*known* issues — CVEs, exposed panels, misconfigurations — before spending manual time. Also the
right tool for re-checking a fixed finding across all hosts. For writing a template that codifies
your own finding, load `automation-nuclei-templates` (that skill is the deep guide; the essentials
are below).
## Why it works
nuclei runs declarative YAML templates (9000+ community templates, HTTP/DNS/TCP/SSL/file protocols)
against many targets in parallel with matchers on the response. You trade stealth for breadth: it's
fast and consistent, and loud.
