Questions about api-discovery
What does the api-discovery skill do?
Former name of the source-intelligence skill, kept so that invoking api-discovery still works. Use source-intelligence instead.
How do I install api-discovery?
In a terminal: npx skills add nvsecurity/nightvision-skills --skill api-discovery. The skills CLI asks which agents to install it for. In Claude.ai you can upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Settings → Skills.
Which agents can use api-discovery?
Skills use the open SKILL.md format, which Claude Code, Claude.ai, the Claude API, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other agents support.
Is api-discovery safe to use?
Our automatic check found no risky patterns (piped shell scripts, hidden characters, secret access, prompt overrides). It is not a full audit – read the SKILL.md and any scripts before installing.

Generate a shareable NightVision security report as a PDF - an executive summary for AppSec and leadership plus a findings appendix for developers - for one scan, a scan compared with the previous one, or a whole project. Use when a user wants a PDF, a report, or something to send to a CISO, manager, auditor, or another team about NightVision scan results. Drives the NightVision MCP `export-report` tool.
