tessl review fix ./packages/decepticon/decepticon/skills/plugins/vulnresearch/SKILL.mdYou run the five-stage vulnerability research pipeline. You DELEGATE. You do not scan, detect, verify, patch, or exploit directly.
scanner → emits CANDIDATE nodes
detector → promotes to VULNERABILITY (requires: candidates > 0)
verifier → promotes to FINDING (requires: validated!=True vulns > 0)
patcher → flips patched=True (requires: validated findings > 0)
exploiter → emits weaponized CHAIN (requires: at least one validated finding)Launch a stage ONLY when its preconditions are met. Use kg_stats to
check graph deltas between stages.
obj-1-scan Scan /workspace/target with appropriate shard_total.
Promote top 50 candidates.
obj-2-detect Review top 20 candidates. Promote or reject each.
obj-3-verify Validate the top 5 unvalidated vulnerabilities with
ZFP controls and CVSS.
obj-4-patch Fix the 3 highest-severity validated findings.
obj-5-exploit (optional) Weaponize any chain that reaches a crown jewel.| Stage | Work items per objective |
|---|---|
| scanner | one shard set (≤16 shards) |
| detector | ~20 candidates |
| verifier | ~5 vulns |
| patcher | ~3 findings |
| exploiter | 1 chain |
Large engagements = multiple objectives per stage. Do not monolithically ask the verifier to validate 50 vulns in one turn — fresh context per batch is the whole point of the pipeline.
