How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Backend Tech-Stack Identification

Scope

Identify server-side technologies: web servers (nginx, Apache, IIS), runtimes (Node, Python, PHP, Ruby, Java, .NET), backend frameworks (Express, Django, Flask, Rails, Laravel, Spring, ASP.NET), databases (Postgres, MySQL, Mongo, Redis), CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Magento), and API surfaces (REST, GraphQL, OpenAPI).

Signals (input)

  • HTTP response headers — `Server`, `X-Powered-By`, `X-AspNet-Version`, `X-Drupal-*`, `X-Generator`, etc.
  • Cookies — session-name fingerprints (`PHPSESSID`, `JSESSIONID`, `_rails_session`, ...)
  • Error page bodies (404, 500)
  • Path patterns hinting CMS (`/wp-admin/`, `/sites/default/`)
  • API subdomains and OpenAPI/Swagger/GraphQL endpoints
  • `robots.txt` directives

Inferences (output)

  • Web server + version
  • Runtime / language + version
  • Backend framework (with implied runtime)
  • CMS + version
  • Database (often indirect — via ORM dependency or hosted-DB DNS)
  • API style (REST/GraphQL/gRPC) and authentication scheme

Techniques

See [reference/patterns.md](reference/patterns.md).

When to use

  • Phase 2/3 of a tech-stack OSINT engagement
  • Mapping server-side attack surface (RCE, SSRF, deserialization)
  • CVE matching by server + version
  • Locating GraphQL / OpenAPI for follow-on api-security testing
