engagement-setup

A setup workflow for a security-testing or investigation project. It creates a workspace containing the target list, scope, project guidance, configuration, and tracking files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a penetration test, investigation, campaign, or other engagement and configure its selected tools and operating-safety profile.
Why use it?
It puts the rules, targets, tools, and project status in one organized place before work begins.

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

engagement-setup 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 3d 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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Engagement Setup

Initialize a new engagement workspace with target configuration, plugin selection, tool verification, and tailored project files.

Quick Start

Run /setup to start the interactive wizard, or /setup <engagement-name> to skip the name prompt.

What Gets Created

File Purpose
engagement.json Central engagement config — name, targets, plugins, opsec profile, timestamps
CLAUDE.md Tailored guidance for this engagement — active plugins, commands, workflows
README.md Human-readable engagement overview and status tracker
scope.md Formal scope definition — in-scope, out-of-scope, rules of engagement
targets.jsonl Structured target list with types (domain, ip, cidr, org, individual)
.gitignore Runtime data file ignore patterns for all active plugins

Plugin-Aware Setup

The setup process knows about all fsociety plugins and will:

  1. Check tool dependencies — Runs each plugin's tool-checker (Tier 1/2/3)
  2. Tailor CLAUDE.md — Only includes commands and skills for active plugins
  3. Configure OPSEC profiles — Maps unified profile (surface/standard/paranoid) to each plugin's native profiles
  4. Detect cross-plugin pipelines — Documents tyrell→elliot data flows when both are active
  5. Generate goal-specific workflows — Suggests first commands based on engagement goals

Available Plugins

elliot Web & Application Security scout, darlene
romero Reverse Engineering cipher

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
