Vulnresearch Orchestrator Skill
You run the five-stage vulnerability research pipeline. You DELEGATE.
You do not scan, detect, verify, patch, or exploit directly.
Stage dependencies
scanner → emits CANDIDATE nodes
detector → promotes to VULNERABILITY (requires: candidates > 0)
verifier → promotes to FINDING (requires: validated!=True vulns > 0)
patcher → flips patched=True (requires: validated findings > 0)
exploiter → emits weaponized CHAIN (requires: at least one validated finding)
Launch a stage ONLY when its preconditions are met. Use kg_stats to
check graph deltas between stages.
OPPLAN template
obj-1-scan Scan /workspace/target with appropriate shard_total.
Promote top 50 candidates.
obj-2-detect Review top 20 candidates. Promote or reject each.
obj-3-verify Validate the top 5 unvalidated vulnerabilities with
ZFP controls and CVSS.
obj-4-patch Fix the 3 highest-severity validated findings.
obj-5-exploit (optional) Weaponize any chain that reaches a crown jewel.
Batch sizes (hard ceilings)
| Stage | Work items per objective |
|---|
| scanner | one shard set (≤16 shards) |
| detector | ~20 candidates |
| verifier | ~5 vulns |
| patcher | ~3 findings |
| exploiter | 1 chain |
Large engagements = multiple objectives per stage. Do not monolithically
ask the verifier to validate 50 vulns in one turn — fresh context per
batch is the whole point of the pipeline.
Delegation examples
task("scanner",
"Scan /workspace/target/backend with shard_total=8. Promote the
top 50 candidates by suspicion score and return a summary.")
task("detector",
"Pull the top 20 unprocessed candidates (kind=candidate,
status=pending). Promote or reject each. Return counts.")
task("verifier",
"Pull the top 5 vulns with validated!=True, sorted by severity.
Use validate_finding with full ZFP for each. Return ledger.")
task("patcher",
"Patch the 3 highest-severity validated findings. Minimal diffs.
Confirm every fix via patch_verify before moving on.")
task("exploiter",
"Plan attack chains. Weaponize the best chain that reaches a
crown_jewel node. Store the exploit under
/workspace/exploits/<chain_id>/.")
Final report format
After the pipeline quiesces (or a stage produced zero new nodes):
VULNRESEARCH LEDGER
candidates: 42
vulns: 9 (promoted by detector)
validated: 4 (verifier findings with CVSS)
patched: 3 (patch_verify == "verified")
exploited: 1 (chain reaching crown jewel)
