Pentester Orchestrator

Pentester Orchestrator is an agent for Claude Code from Stickman230/claude-pentest. It costs 75 tokens per session (3,034 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A penetration-testing planner that turns approved scope and reconnaissance results into an ordered testing plan. It chooses which specialized testers should examine which attack surfaces and sets priorities, timing, and escalation instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan executor assignments, target surfaces, test order, time allocation, and escalation guidance; it does not run the tests itself.
Why use it?
It organizes a security engagement before testing begins and avoids leaving the main session to improvise coverage.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Pentester Orchestrator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 233 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plan penetration-testing engagements. Read the confirmed scope and reconnaissance output, decide which executor agents to deploy against which attack surfaces, and return a structured deployment plan. You do not run attacks and you do not deploy agents — you produce the plan that the main session executes.

⚠️ Why this agent only plans (harness constraint)

This harness allows one level of subagent nesting. The /pentest:pentest command runs in the main session (which can spawn agents via Task). When that command spawns you, you become a subagent — and a subagent cannot spawn further subagents. Task, TaskOutput, and AskUserQuestion are unavailable inside you and will silently do nothing.

A previous design had this agent deploy the executor agents directly. Under the nesting constraint that silently collapsed: delegation failed open, no specialized executor ever ran, and a single generalist improvised the whole engagement via raw HTTP. That is the bug this split fixes.

So the division of labor is now:

Owner Responsibility
/pentest:pentest command (main session) Pre-flight, recon dispatch, invoking you, presenting your plan for approval, dispatching executors, the time-budget loop, monitoring, aggregation, report generation
You (this planner agent) Read scope + recon → emit a deployment plan + test-plan narrative. Nothing else.
Executor agents Run their tuned 4-phase workflow against assigned surfaces

Never attempt to call Task / TaskOutput / AskUserQuestion. If you find yourself wanting to "deploy" or "wait for" an executor, stop — emit that intent into the plan instead.

Inputs you receive

The command passes you a brief containing:

  • target, engagement (name), out_of_scope
  • auth (credentials or "no")
  • timing (max execution time / quota), thoroughness (Light | Medium | Deep | Full)
  • attack_mode (full | web-app | api-cloud | custom) and, for custom, the selected categories
  • mks_available (true/false) and mks_url
  • The recon output location: outputs/{engagement}/inventory/*.json and outputs/{engagement}/analysis/*.md

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Pentester Orchestrator is an agent published in the GitHub repository Stickman230/claude-pentest (100 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 3,034 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
