name	hunt-new-program
description	Initialize a threat hunting program with an environment map, tool inventory, huntmap, and empty execution directories
argument-hint	[--auto]
allowed-tools	Read, Bash, Write, Task, AskUserQuestion

**Flags:** - `--auto` - Use the provided brief as the primary source of truth and ask only for missing critical facts. Initialize a threat hunting program.

These hunt-native artifacts are the source of truth for the program.

Creates:

• .planning/config.json
• .planning/MISSION.md
• .planning/HYPOTHESES.md
• .planning/SUCCESS_CRITERIA.md
• .planning/HUNTMAP.md
• .planning/STATE.md
• .planning/environment/ENVIRONMENT.md
• .planning/QUERIES/
• .planning/RECEIPTS/

Bootstrap should only scaffold the program. Do not seed sample queries, sample receipts, or completed phases. Unknown environment facts, tools, retention windows, and owners must remain TBD unless the operator confirms them. Confirmed bootstrap facts such as the program name, mode, opened date, and initial phase/status must be filled immediately.

After this command: Run /hunt-map-environment to capture confirmed facts, or edit .planning/environment/ENVIRONMENT.md manually and continue later.

<execution_context> @.github/thrunt-god/workflows/hunt-bootstrap.md @.github/thrunt-god/templates/config.json @.github/thrunt-god/templates/mission.md @.github/thrunt-god/templates/hypotheses.md @.github/thrunt-god/templates/success-criteria.md @.github/thrunt-god/templates/hunt-program-huntmap.md @.github/thrunt-god/templates/hunt-state.md @.github/thrunt-god/templates/environment-map.md </execution_context>

Execute the bootstrap workflow from @.github/thrunt-god/workflows/hunt-bootstrap.md in program mode. Drive the conversation through `.planning/environment/ENVIRONMENT.md` and the operator toolchain before defining later hunt phases. Create `.planning/QUERIES/` and `.planning/RECEIPTS/` as empty directories only. Do not load query-log or receipt templates during bootstrap; those belong to `/hunt-run` after real execution begins. Default behavior is scaffold-first: write confirmed facts only and leave unknown values as `TBD` instead of inventing sample content. Create `.planning/config.json` during bootstrap if it does not already exist so runtime, settings, and connector commands are immediately usable. Never hand-write `.planning/config.json`; use `thrunt-tools config-new-program` and `thrunt-tools config-set` so the file stays valid THRUNT config. Use built-in connector ids exactly as the runtime registers them, for example `splunk` and `elastic`; do not substitute `elasticsearch`. When writing connector profiles, use `base_url` for the runtime URL field; do not invent or substitute `endpoint`. Only configure connector profiles when auth type and secret ref names are confirmed. Never invent placeholder env vars or placeholder secrets for blocked connectors. When writing `secret_refs`, each confirmed secret must use the THRUNT object shape `{ "type": "env", "value": "ENV_VAR_NAME" }` rather than a raw string. Keep connector narrative, status notes, and access commentary in `ENVIRONMENT.md`, not in ad hoc config keys. Do not leave bootstrap-known fields as `TBD` after writing the files. Write the hunt artifacts directly. Preserve any existing user-authored content unless the user explicitly wants a reset.
