testing-handbook-generator

To generate security testing skills, this skill analyzes the Trail of Bits Testing Handbook, classifies sections into tool, fuzzer, technique, and domain skills, and renders them using template-based formatting. It produces a generation plan for approval before creating the skills.

The two-pass generation process first produces skills in content-first mode, then performs a second pass to populate Related Skills cross-references. This ensures all referenced skills exist before cross-references are added, maintaining structural integrity across the generated security testing skill set.

You validate formatting and line limits using built-in validator-backed integrity checks. The generation process enforces strict formatting rules, Hugo shortcode conversion, and line-count limits, running these checks before final delivery to ensure compliant skill authoring.

No, the generator enforces controlled scope for safe iteration by restricting modifications. It only alters the generator’s self-improvement area and the generated skills’ directory siblings, preventing unintended edits to your broader project files during security testing skill creation.

Missing cross-references occur when the second pass of the two-pass generation process is interrupted or fails. The generator must complete the initial content-first pass and execute the subsequent cross-reference population pass after all referenced skills exist to resolve this.

Yes, the generation workflow requires discovering the handbook path. You must provide the Trail of Bits Testing Handbook repository location so the skill can locate, analyze the relevant sections, and convert them into validated security testing skills.
