Burp Project Parser workflow skill. Use this skill when the user needs Searches and explores Burp Suite project files (.burp) from the command line. Use when searching response headers or bodies with regex patterns, extracting security audit findings, dumping proxy history or site map data, or analyzing HTTP traffic captured in a Burp project and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off.

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/burpsuite-project-parser from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
Burp Project Parser Search and extract data from Burp Suite project files using the burpsuite-project-file-parser extension.
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Sub-Component Filters (USE THESE), Regex Search Operations, Other Operations, Output Limits (REQUIRED), Understanding Results.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
Searching response headers or bodies with regex patterns
Extracting security audit findings from Burp projects
Dumping proxy history or site map data
Analyzing HTTP traffic captured in a Burp project file
Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Searches and explores Burp Suite project files (.burp) from the command line. Use when searching response headers or bodies with regex patterns, extracting security audit findings, dumping proxy history or site map....
Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.

Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
Identify scope - What are you looking for? (specific vuln type, endpoint, header pattern)
Search audit items first - Start with Burp's findings:
Check confidence scores - Filter for actionable findings:
Extract affected URLs - Get the attack surface:
Search raw traffic for context - Examine actual requests/responses:
Validate manually - Burp findings are indicators, not proof. Verify each one.
Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
Imported Workflow Notes
Imported: Investigation Workflow
Identify scope - What are you looking for? (specific vuln type, endpoint, header pattern)
Search audit items first - Start with Burp's findings:
Use @burpsuite-project-parser-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @burpsuite-project-parser-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @burpsuite-project-parser-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @burpsuite-project-parser-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Imported Usage Notes
Imported: Examples
Search for CORS headers (with byte limit):

Get all high-severity findings (audit items are small, but still limit):
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/burpsuite-project-parser, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

ALWAYS use sub-component filters instead of full dumps. Full proxyHistory or siteMap can return gigabytes of data. Sub-component filters return only what you need.
Available Filters
Filter

Typical Size
proxyHistory.request.headers
Request line + headers only
Small (< 1KB/record)
proxyHistory.request.body
Request body only
Variable
proxyHistory.response.headers
Status + headers only

LARGE - avoid
siteMap.request.headers
Same as above for site map
Small

Default Approach
Start with headers, not bodies:
# GOOD - headers only, safe to retrieve
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp proxyHistory.request.headers | head -c 50000
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp proxyHistory.response.headers | head -c 50000
# BAD - full records include bodies, can be gigabytes
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp proxyHistory # NEVER DO THIS
Only fetch bodies for specific URLs after reviewing headers, and ALWAYS truncate:
# 1. First, find interesting URLs from headers
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp proxyHistory.response.headers | \
jq -r 'select(.headers | test("text/html")) | .url' | head -n 20
# 2. Then search bodies with targeted regex - MUST truncate body to 1000 chars
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp "responseBody='.*specific-pattern.*'" | \
head -n 10 | jq -c '.body = (.body[:1000] + "...[TRUNCATED]")'
HARD RULE: Body content > 1000 chars must NEVER enter context. If the user needs full body content, they must view it in Burp Suite's UI.
Imported: Regex Search Operations
Search Response Headers
responseHeader='.*regex.*'
Searches all response headers. Output: {"url":"...", "header":"..."}
Example - find server signatures:
responseHeader='.*(nginx|Apache|Servlet).*' | head -c 50000
Search Response Bodies
responseBody='.*regex.*'
MANDATORY: Always truncate body content to 1000 chars max. Response bodies can be megabytes each.
# REQUIRED format - always truncate .body field
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp "responseBody='.*<form.*action.*'" | \
head -n 10 | jq -c '.body = (.body[:1000] + "...[TRUNCATED]")'
Never retrieve full body content. If you need to see more of a specific response, ask the user to open it in Burp Suite's UI.
Note: Audit items are small (no bodies) - safe to retrieve with head -n 100.
Dump Proxy History (AVOID)
proxyHistory
NEVER use this directly. Use sub-component filters instead:
proxyHistory.request.headers
proxyHistory.response.headers
Dump Site Map (AVOID)
siteMap
NEVER use this directly. Use sub-component filters instead.
Imported: Output Limits (REQUIRED)
CRITICAL: Always check result size BEFORE retrieving data. A broad search can return thousands of records, each potentially megabytes. This will overflow the context window.
Step 1: Always Check Size First
Before any search, check BOTH record count AND byte size:
# Check record count AND total bytes - never skip this step
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp proxyHistory | wc -cl
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp "responseHeader='.*Server.*'" | wc -cl
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp auditItems | wc -cl
The wc -cl output shows: <bytes> <lines> (e.g., 524288 42 means 512KB across 42 records).
Interpret the results - BOTH must pass:
Metric
Safe
Narrow search
Too broad
STOP
Lines
< 50
50-200
200+
1000+
Bytes
< 50KB
50-200KB
200KB+
1MB+
A single 10MB response on one line will show high byte count but only 1 line - the byte check catches this.
# Too broad (matches everything):
responseHeader='.*'# Better - target specific headers:
responseHeader='.*X-Frame-Options.*'
responseHeader='.*Content-Security-Policy.*'
Filter with jq before retrieving:
# Get only specific content types
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp proxyHistory.response.headers | \
jq -c 'select(.url | test("/api/"))' | head -n 50
Step 3: Always Truncate Output
Even after narrowing, always pipe through truncation:
# ALWAYS use head -c to limit total bytes (max 50KB)
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp proxyHistory.request.headers | head -c 50000
# For body searches, truncate each JSON object's body field:
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp "responseBody='pattern'" | \
head -n 20 | jq -c '.body = (.body | if length > 1000 then .[:1000] + "...[TRUNCATED]" else . end)'# Limit both record count AND byte size:
{baseDir}/scripts/burp-search.sh project.burp auditItems | head -n 50 | head -c 50000
Hard limits to enforce:
head -c 50000 (50KB max) on ALL output
Truncate .body fields to 1000 chars - MANDATORY, no exceptions
jq -c '.body = (.body[:1000] + "...[TRUNCATED]")'
Never run these without counting first AND truncating:
proxyHistory / siteMap (full dumps - always use sub-component filters)
responseBody='...' searches (bodies can be megabytes each)
Any broad regex like .* or .+
Imported: Understanding Results
Severity vs Confidence
Burp reports both severity (High/Medium/Low) and confidence (Certain/Firm/Tentative). Use both when triaging:
Combination
Meaning
High + Certain
Likely real vulnerability, prioritize investigation
High + Tentative
Often a false positive, verify before reporting
Medium + Firm
Worth investigating, may need manual validation
A "High severity, Tentative confidence" finding is frequently a false positive. Don't report findings based on severity alone.
When Proxy History is Incomplete
Proxy history only contains what Burp captured. It may be missing traffic due to:
Scope filters excluding domains
Intercept settings dropping requests
Browser traffic not routed through Burp proxy
If you don't find expected traffic, check Burp's scope and proxy settings in the original project.
HTTP Body Encoding
Response bodies may be gzip compressed, chunked, or use non-UTF8 encoding. Regex patterns that work on plaintext may silently fail on encoded responses. If searches return fewer results than expected:
Check if responses are compressed
Try broader patterns or search headers first
Use Burp's UI to inspect raw vs rendered response
Imported: Rationalizations to Reject
Common shortcuts that lead to missed vulnerabilities or false reports:
Shortcut
Why It's Wrong
"This regex looks good"
Verify on sample data first—encoding and escaping cause silent failures
"High severity = must fix"
Check confidence score too; Burp has false positives
"All audit items are relevant"
Filter by actual threat model; not every finding matters for every app
"Proxy history is complete"
May be filtered by Burp scope/intercept settings; you see only what Burp captured
"Burp found it, so it's a vuln"
Burp findings require manual verification—they indicate potential issues, not proof
