## What it is
Cent is a Go CLI tool that aggregates and organizes community-contributed Nuclei vulnerability scanning templates into a single local folder. It clones template repositories, keeps them organized by category or source repo, and can validate and update them.

## Use cases
- download all community nuclei templates in one place
- organize nuclei templates by category
- validate and remove invalid nuclei templates
- keep my nuclei template collection up to date
- manage templates for bug bounty recon
- get a summary of available nuclei templates

## When to choose
- you use Nuclei and want a broader, community-maintained template set
- you need to keep many third-party template repos synced and organized locally

## When to avoid
- you only need the official ProjectDiscovery nuclei-templates
- you don't use Nuclei for vulnerability scanning

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active

- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- platform: windows, go, cli
