Route approved security work to the pack's 25 narrow operators, with authorization/scope gates, retained evidence and compatible report inputs. Use when starting a pentest, auditing dependencies or source code, checking an approved URL, or preparing engagement deliverables. Familiar requests route to the appropriate operator; retained legacy CLIs keep separate completion and JSON contracts. Trigger with "pentest", "security scan", "audit dependencies", "check headers", "find secrets", or "OWASP coverage".

# Performing Penetration Testing
## Overview
Route an approved engagement across 25 narrow operator skills plus this
orchestrator. Each invoked CLI has its own arguments, evidence requirements
and exit status.
## Prerequisites
Use Read for approved ROE and saved findings, Glob/Grep to select artifacts,
and Write only for requested engagement outputs. These routing instructions
depend on each CLI's own input and evidence checks; reports do not certify
compliance.
