## Helper prerequisites

This bundled skill supplies methodology text; it does not install the local helper files invoked below. Before running a command using `agent.py` or a `scripts/` path, create that file from a complete implementation when one is supplied, or obtain and review the matching upstream helper. Check its `--help` and dependencies against the shown arguments. If no implementation is available, the invocation is a workflow illustration rather than a runnable command; use the documented underlying tools instead.


# Triaging Vulnerabilities with SSVC Framework

## Overview

The Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization (SSVC) framework, developed by Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute (SEI) in collaboration with CISA, provides a structured decision-tree methodology for vulnerability prioritization. Unlike CVSS alone, SSVC accounts for exploitation status, technical impact, automatability, mission prevalence, and public well-being impact to produce one of four actionable outcomes: **Track**, **Track***, **Attend**, or **Act**.
