I would like to know about the increasing popularity of certain tools within the security domain, particularly in light of these agentic AI code editors and coding assistant LLMs. So, as of now my focus is on the use of Nuclei templates to automate the detection of vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs. How effectively can agentic AI or LLMs assist in writing Nuclei templates and has anyone successfully used these tools for this purpose?

So, i have a swagger specification and a postman collection of APIs although I know how to write Nuclei templates but I’m more curious if any LLMs or AI-based code editors could help me in this process. I understand that human intervention would still be necessary but even generating a base structure let’s say, a template for detecting SQL injection would allow me to modify the payloads sent to the web application or specific API endpoints.

I would appreciate any insights from those currently using agentic AI code editors or LLMs to write nuclei templates and what the best practices are for leveraging such AIs in this context specifically.
