Decision tree for selecting AIRT attacks based on goals, target type, and constraints
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Based on SOC occupation classification
Use when beginning a web assessment from a domain, wildcard, ASN, organization, IP list, or CIDR and measurable attack-surface coverage is needed.
Common Active Directory attack chains with tool mappings. Covers Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, RBCD, AD CS, DCSync, relay attacks, and credential reuse patterns. Use during exploitation and privilege escalation phases.
Decision tree for Active Directory enumeration. Maps enumeration tasks to tools, defines priority signals, and specifies what findings trigger deeper investigation. Use during the enumeration phase of network operations.
Load when performing network operations or Active Directory exploitation. Enforces enumeration-before-attack discipline, credential verification, trust boundary awareness, scope compliance, reversibility preference, and structured reporting. Prevents premature exploitation, credential misuse, and scope violations.
Direct Caido interaction via the caido-sdk-client Python library, bypassing the Caido MCP server. Prefer this over the caido-proxy MCP skill for efficiency WHEN the SDK is importable in the current runtime. If the import fails, or Caido/the MCP is not loaded, fall back to the caido-proxy skill.
Caido proxy integration for HTTP history search, request replay, fuzzing results, sitemap, and security findings via MCP. Use when you need to search proxy traffic, replay requests with modifications, triage fuzzing results, or document findings in Caido.

Use this decision tree to select the right attacks for an assessment.
Any provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Mistral, Together, AWS Bedrock, Azure, Ollama, custom).
Use generate_attack with target_model="provider/model". All jailbreak attacks apply.
Multi-step agents that call tools, access MCP servers, or interact with other agents.
Use generate_agentic_attack with the appropriate preset (openai_assistants, anthropic, custom).
Any HTTP endpoint. Use generate_agentic_attack with agent_preset="custom" and provide request/response templates.
A system of cooperating agents (entry → mid → privileged) where the attack must
cross trust boundaries or propagate through delegation to make a downstream agent
execute a tool. Use generate_atlas_attack (ATLAS — Adaptive Topology-Level Attack
Synthesis). Point it at a deployed environment exposing
POST /attack {prompt, surface, injection} -> {content, tool_calls, ...}.
ATLAS profiles the system's defenses (Bayesian), routes one of eight attack modes
per objective (MDP + Hedge), and — critically — gates success on real tool
execution, retrying via delegation (peer_message) when the agent complies
verbally but no tool fired. Set scenario_name (finops/devsecops/healthcare/soc)
for scenario-specific probes and pass objectives ({id, category, goal}) or use
the built-in per-category defaults.
