Build exploit chain from: $ARGUMENTS

Process

1. Read brain for current target context: `uv run python3 $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/tools/brain.py brief <target>`

2. Get bug A description:

  • If `$ARGUMENTS` contains a bug description → use it
  • Else if brain has a recent confirmed finding → use that
  • Else → ask user to describe the confirmed bug

3. Read `rules/chain-table.md` — the capability→next-bug table

4. Read `policy.md` — extract policy preamble for the agent

5. **ALWAYS dispatch `chain-builder` agent** (model: inherit) with:

  • The confirmed bug A description (exact HTTP request/response)
  • The full chain table from `rules/chain-table.md`
  • Policy preamble (scope + required headers + restrictions)
  • Brain context (tech stack, tested endpoints, known capabilities)
  • Writeup intelligence: call `search_writeups "chain <bug class> escalation"` if MCP available

6. After agent returns:

  • If chain found:
  • `uv run python3 $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/tools/brain.py record <target> confirmed "chain: <summary>" "<full chain>"`
  • Show chain to user with combined impact and CVSS
  • Suggest: `/validate` then `/report`
  • If dead end:
  • `uv run python3 $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/tools/brain.py record <target> exhausted "chain from <bug A>" "<candidates tried>"`
  • Show what was tried and why it failed

No inline chain logic. No capability table. The chain-builder agent does all the work.

Top-Tier Chain Standard

A chain is valuable only when each link grants a concrete capability.

Before dispatching, classify bug A as one capability:

  • identity control: login, link, session, token, role, invite
  • data read: PII, secrets, tenant data, internal API response
  • data write: config, webhook, template, profile, billing, integration
  • execution: script, server-side call, command, workflow run, model/tool action
  • network pivot: SSRF, callback, metadata, internal host reachability

Ask the chain-builder for three paths: fastest proof, highest impact, and safest policy-compliant path. Kill chains that require guessing, prohibited data access, or unbounded scanning. A reportable chain must include end-to-end reproduction, where link 2 consumes the capability from link 1 rather than merely coexisting with it.

Questions about chain.

Which coding agents can use chain?
chain installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
