/create-skill

Overview

The /create-skill command opens a guided flow for creating a new operator skill. Skills are reusable instruction sets that teach the AI agent specialized testing techniques or workflows tailored to your environment.

Usage

$/create-skill

What Are Skills?

Skills are YAML-based configuration files stored in ~/.pensar/skills/. Each skill defines:

  • Name — a human-readable name for the skill
  • Description — what the skill does
  • Instructions — detailed instructions the AI agent follows when the skill is invoked

Once created, skills appear as dynamic slash commands in the TUI. For example, a skill named “SQL Injection Test” becomes available as /sql-injection-test.

How It Works

1

Launch Skill Creator

Run /create-skill to open the skill creation interface.

2

Define the Skill

Provide a name, description, and detailed instructions for the AI agent.

3

Save

The skill is saved to ~/.pensar/skills/ and immediately available as a slash command.

Using Skills

After creating a skill, invoke it from the operator prompt:

$/your-skill-name

The AI agent will follow the instructions defined in the skill, applying them to the current session context.

Skills only work in operator sessions (/operator). They are not available in autonomous pentest mode (/pentest).
