How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

SKILL: API Recon and Docs — Endpoints, Schemas, and Version Surface
AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Use this skill first when the target is a REST, mobile, or GraphQL API and you need to enumerate endpoints, documentation, versions, and hidden surface area before exploitation.
1. PRIMARY GOALS
- Discover all reachable API entrypoints.
- Extract schemas, optional fields, and role differences.
- Identify old versions, mobile paths, GraphQL endpoints, and undocumented parameters.
2. RECON CHECKLIST
JavaScript and client mining
curl https://target/app.js | grep -oE '(/api|/rest|/graphql)[^"'\'' ]+' | sort -uCommon documentation and schema paths
/swagger.json
/openapi.json
/api-docs
/docs
/.well-known/
/graphql
/gqlVersion and product drift
/api/v1/
/api/v2/
/api/mobile/v1/
/legacy/3. WHAT TO EXTRACT FROM DOCS
- optional and undocumented fields
- admin-only request examples
- deprecated endpoints that may still be active
- schema hints like
additionalProperties: true - parameter names tied to filtering, sorting, IDs, roles, or tenancy
4. NEXT ROUTING
| Finding | Next Skill |
| object IDs everywhere | api authorization and bola |
| JWT, OAuth, role claims | api auth and jwt abuse |
| GraphQL or hidden fields | graphql and hidden parameters |
| strong auth boundary but suspicious business flow | business logic vulnerabilities |
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
