What it does

This skill turns the agent into a planner for multi-step offensive security work, such as moving from an external foothold to an internal domain controller. It lays out phases (reconnaissance, initial access, privilege escalation, lateral movement, impact) with concrete tool commands and attack techniques, and it tells the agent to hand single-stage tasks to other specialist skills. Its own instructions require an authorization and scope file to be created before any action, though the visible text is largely a reference catalogue of attack methods.

Great for

  • Security professionals running an authorized penetration test or red-team exercise who want a structured attack-path plan
  • Teams preparing a scoped assessment of an organisation's exposure across multiple stages

Skip it if

  • Anyone without written authorization to test the target: the content is a catalogue of intrusion, phishing and credential-attack techniques, and misuse against systems you do not own is illegal and harmful
  • Beginners looking for a general learning guide: it assumes working knowledge of tools like nmap, sqlmap and Active Directory attacks and does not explain safe lab practice

Try asking

  • “Plan a full authorized external-to-internal penetration test for our company's staging network, with a scope document first”
  • “I have a webshell on a test server; what are the realistic next stages and which specialist skill should handle each?”
  • “Map the attack surface of this in-scope domain and propose the shortest attack path to the critical system”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Provide a signed scope and authorization record before asking for any action, since the skill itself gates execution on auth status
  • Use it for planning and sequencing, then run individual stages through the specialist skills it names rather than letting one agent run everything unattended
