Metasploit Framework

This gives Claude Code the ability to work with Metasploit Framework during penetration testing engagements. You get unified commands for vulnerability exploitation, payload generation, auxiliary scanning, and post-exploitation activities. The skill covers the full assessment workflow from initial compromise through maintaining access on authorized targets. It's part of a larger template collection that's picked up nearly 28K stars on GitHub. Worth noting that two of three security audits flagged issues, so review the Snyk findings before adding this to your workflow. If you're running security assessments and want Claude to help drive Metasploit operations, this bridges that gap.
