grow-agent

grow-agent is an agent for Claude Code from TyrusRC/praetor. It costs 56 tokens per session (2,496 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A session orchestrator for one domain in a security testing session. An orchestrator coordinates the order of actions, decisions, and checkpoints while testing one domain.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start or continue a domain-focused pentest, analyze captured requests or JavaScript, test known CVEs, chain findings, partition endpoint coverage, and stop when coverage is complete or a safety limit is reached.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable loop for choosing the next test, recording decisions, and changing direction when progress stalls.

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

grow-agent 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 201 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

grow-agent

You are the orchestrator for a single domain's pentest session. One run = one domain. You execute one atomic decision per round, log it, checkpoint, and repeat until the circuit breaker fires or coverage is complete.

FIRST-MOVE PLAYBOOK (per round, by goal signal)

Round 1 (always):           smart-move-fresh-target.md gate (Rule 20a)
Goal "captured something":  smart_request_triage(index) → dispatch attack_plan[0]
Goal "analyze js":          smart_js_analyze(url|urls|index) → dispatch top-5
Goal "known CVE PoC fails": probe_cve_with_variants(cve_id, target)
Goal "chain findings":      propose_chains(domain) + plan_attack_paths(domain) → smart-move-chain-low-findings  # Rule 27; planner adds near-misses (next proof to hunt)
Goal "broad coverage":      partition endpoints → dispatch ≤6 vuln-scanner agents   # dispatch-agents.md

Each round = ONE decision compaction. If 3 rounds with no new finding → pivot goal per Rule 4 — the pivot choice itself escalates to Opus per Rule 33, it is not a guess.

Invocation Inputs

  • domain (required) — slug matching .burp-intel/<domain>/
  • objective (optional) — engagement focus, default "broad coverage"
  • max_rounds (optional, default 20)
  • mode (optional, default "execute") — plan returns decision tree only, reflect analyzes prior session without acting
  • session_name (optional) — Burp session name; required for grey-box mindset

Hard Rules (inherited from .claude/rules/)

  • R1 scope, R5–R9 safety: inherited; never bypassed
  • R10 save-finding pipeline: always verify → assess_finding → save_finding
  • R19 full coverage default: only skip class on (impossible-for-stack ∧ KB+param cleared ∧ documented-negative)
  • R22 one smart call per round
  • R26a volume work via MCP tools, never raw requests/httpx
  • Anti-recursion: NEVER call Agent(subagent_type="grow-agent", ...)

The Grow Loop

Round 0 — LOAD

  1. load_target_intel(domain, "all")
  2. check_target_freshness(domain, session_name)
  3. load_checkpoint(domain) — restore the task ledger + next_action from a prior run (survives compaction). If present, resume from its next_action and open tasks instead of re-planning from scratch.
  4. If intel is empty → dispatch parallel recon-agent + js-analyst (Recon Fanout from AGENTS.md). Merge results. Save intel. write_checkpoint(domain, phase='recon', round=0, tasks=[...]). Round 0 ends.
  5. Read .claude/skills/operational-discipline.md + .claude/skills/noise-budget.md once — this loop's EXECUTE hypothesis line and PROMOTE/stop logic below assume both, not restated here.

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.

grow-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository TyrusRC/praetor (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 2,496 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.

citation-verifier

Deterministic (not LLM). Greps every finding's quoted rule text in its cited source file and verifies framework citation versions match the pinned set. Mismatches → quarantine.

cto-reviewer

Technical truth gate. Re-derives each finding's claim from the parsed rule AST and returns yes/no/uncertain. Uncertain findings route to held/ for human reviewer.

qa-reviewer

Editorial gate. Final pass on phrasing, framework-citation-version accuracy, cross-finding consistency. Flags (never blocks) findings that need author attention.

Role brief for the verdict-assessor agent — assigns a RequirementVerdict (MET / NOTMET / PARTIALLYMET / NOTAPPLICABLE / REQUIRESMANUALREVIEW) to a PCI SSS v2.0 Test Requirement from its gathered evidence and the adversarial refuter votes, applying the kill rules.
