Choose the subagent that matches your task: planning, recon analysis, exploit research, or reporting.
The subagents plug into Claude Code, so your existing session and context stay intact.
Recon findings feed exploit research, which feeds detection-building and report drafting.
Every step is human-in-the-loop — you approve actions before anything touches a target.
Structured subagents that plan authorized tests before any commands run.
Sifts reconnaissance output into findings worth chasing.
Helps research known exploits against discovered services.
Turns findings into detection rules for defenders.
Checks systems against STIG hardening benchmarks.
Drafts penetration-test reports from session notes.
