name: nmap description: Use for authorized host discovery, port scanning, service/version detection, NSE script checks, network inventory, and local network diagnostics with the nmap CLI.
Nmap
Use nmap for bounded, authorized network reconnaissance. Keep scan scope explicit, targeted, and matched to the task.
Help First
Before constructing or explaining any nmap command, execute the installed CLI help command and use that raw output as the source of truth:
nmap --help
Do not maintain option descriptions, scan recipes, or command examples in this skill. Derive options, syntax, output flags, and script usage from the current nmap --help output.
Output
- Report target scope, command used, open ports, detected services, versions, and any script findings.
