From the source SKILL.md

Command and Control is the backbone of any sustained red team engagement. Your C2 framework manages implant communication, task distribution, post-exploitation, and lateral movement coordination. Selecting and configuring the right framework -- and layering proper infrastructure around it -- determines whether your operation survives the first 48 hours or burns within minutes of initial access.

What this skill does

Offensive C2 Frameworks is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the threat-hunting sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/offensive-c2-frameworks/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Offensive C2 Frameworks Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
