vuln-scout

Use this skill when the user is auditing a decompiled Android application — directory structure includes `jadx_out/` / `apktool_out/`, files end in `.smali` / are jadx-renamed to `defpackage/*.java`, or the conversation mentions an APK / xAPK / `com.example.*` package. Covers the high-signal vulnerability classes vuln-scout detects in decompiled APKs and the conventions for running the unified mobile-audit workflow.

Use this skill when the user is auditing an iOS application — directory contains `.ipa`, `Info.plist`, `*.swift`, `*.m`, `*.mm`, or an `xcodeproj`. Also activates when the conversation mentions WKWebView, NSURLSession, Keychain, App Transport Security, or any `com.apple.*` / `bundleidentifier`-style iOS package name.

Use this skill when reviewing mobile code that handles card data, payment tokenization, or third-party payment SDK integrations (Braintree, Stripe, Adyen, Google Pay, Apple Pay, FirstData-style iframe encryptors). The skill catalogues the high-signal attack patterns vuln-scout detects in mobile payment flows — server-controlled tokenization URLs, JavaScript-injection-into-WebView card-data exfiltration, JS-bridge token construction, and payment scope mismatches — and maps each to the detector that fires.
