Shodan includes worked examples; pricing or quota commentary; at least one code block. The SKILL.md is on the shorter side at about 453 words.
Shodan sits in the Security category under the network-security sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.
These notes are auto-generated from features detected in the SKILL.md file and from this catalog's structure — they aren't part of the source repository.
Shodan indexes internet-connected devices and exposes metadata: open ports, running services, banners, TLS certificates, and known CVEs. Use it for security audits, reconnaissance, and asset discovery.
Shodan is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the network-security sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/shodan/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
The Shodan 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 115,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
