10x-pentest: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/pt-scope/SKILL.md

pt-scope is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from brovar/10x-pentest. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,734 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided step for defining what a security review is allowed to examine, who approved it, and what rules apply. It records these decisions in a scope file and checks whether the review is ready to continue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a security engagement and again before retesting. It helps document targets, permissions, safety rules, and readiness for reconnaissance.
Why use it?
It prevents later review steps from acting on targets or actions that were never authorized. It also makes missing approval or unclear boundaries visible before testing begins.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is brovar/10x-pentest's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on 10x-pentest itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything 10x-pentest configures →

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

pt-scope 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 6d 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 — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/pt-scope — Scope & Rules of Engagement (Stage 0)

Interactively define the engagement's scope, Rules of Engagement, and authorization, and write context/engagements/<id>/scope.md per foundation/scope-schema.md. scope.md is the executable definition of "never act outside scope" and of do-no-harm — a blocking input to every later skill. This skill is a facilitator: it never invents scope, targets, or authorization; it asks the operator and records their answers.

When to use, when to skip

  • Use at engagement start, and on every retest (to re-attest authorization).
  • Skip only if scope.md already exists and is readiness: ready/waived and unchanged — then go straight to /pt-recon. Never skip re-attestation on a retest.

Initial Response

  • With <engagement-id>: proceed to Step 0.
  • Without: print Usage: /pt-scope <engagement-id>. Open one first with /pt-new. and STOP.

Inputs

  • engagement.md[blocking] (the identity to attach scope to; read for retest).
  • A seeded scope.md[optional]; present only on a retest — treat it as a template.

Process

Step 0: Load engagement, detect retest, resume

Read engagement.md (missing ⇒ error: engagement not found — run /pt-new. and STOP). Resume: if scope.md already exists, load it and re-confirm/amend field-by-field — never blind-overwrite; if it was blocked, resume at the unmet fields. If retest: true, treat any seeded scope.md as a starting point only and require fresh authorization (new attestation + validity window) — carried authorization is invalid (scope-schema §2).

Step 1: Discovery

Facilitate in short rounds using the host's interactive-question tool (see below). Per question: offer 2–4 concrete options, mark one (Recommended) with a one-line tradeoff, and always include a "Not sure / decide later" option; skip asking when the engagement intent already answers it (confirm instead). Ask in rounds of 1–4, echo each answer back in one line, lock it. Never invent a value; record none/unknown explicitly or capture a waiver — a blank is a gate failure. Map answers to scope-schema fields:

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
