orchestrating-vulnerability-research

Run a sustained, multi-agent vulnerability-discovery campaign against a target — split its attack surface into slices, hunt each slice with a builder agent, and have a separate critic with fresh context adversarially refute every candidate against the real artifact (a reproduced crash, a working request, a proven bypass) before it counts as a finding. Use when tasked to find previously-unknown bugs across a whole codebase, a binary, or a named live target; when you want to fan out many agents and loop until findings are proven rather than plausible; or when a single audit pass has stalled and you need builder/critic separation so the hunter never grades its own work. Dispatches auditing-code-for-vulnerabilities, analyzing-binaries, and testing-web-applications as the per-slice hunters and hands proven findings to reporting-security-findings.

# Orchestrating Vulnerability Research

One agent hunting one target rationalizes. It finds a "probably exploitable"
path, writes a confident paragraph, and grades its own paragraph as a finding.
The paragraph is not the bug. This skill is the harness that stops that: give
the hunt a bar it cannot talk its way around, split the target so pieces are
worked in parallel, and never let the agent that built a candidate be the one
that decides it is real.

It is a *loop*, not a pass. You run it until findings are proven or the target
is genuinely exhausted — not until the first plausible writeup appears.
