Engagement Setup

Initialize a new engagement workspace with target configuration, plugin selection, tool verification, and tailored project files.

Quick Start

Run `/setup` to start the interactive wizard, or `/setup <engagement-name>` to skip the name prompt.

What Gets Created

| File | Purpose | | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `engagement.json` | Central engagement config — name, targets, plugins, opsec profile, timestamps | | `CLAUDE.md` | Tailored guidance for this engagement — active plugins, commands, workflows | | `README.md` | Human-readable engagement overview and status tracker | | `scope.md` | Formal scope definition — in-scope, out-of-scope, rules of engagement | | `targets.jsonl` | Structured target list with types (domain, ip, cidr, org, individual) | | `.gitignore` | Runtime data file ignore patterns for all active plugins |

Plugin-Aware Setup

The setup process knows about all fsociety plugins and will:

1. **Check tool dependencies** — Runs each plugin's tool-checker (Tier 1/2/3) 2. **Tailor CLAUDE.md** — Only includes commands and skills for active plugins 3. **Configure OPSEC profiles** — Maps unified profile (surface/standard/paranoid) to each plugin's native profiles 4. **Detect cross-plugin pipelines** — Documents tyrell→elliot data flows when both are active 5. **Generate goal-specific workflows** — Suggests first commands based on engagement goals

Available Plugins

| Plugin | Domain | Agents | | ----------- | -------------------------- | -------------- | | **elliot** | Web & Application Security | scout, darlene | | **romero** | Reverse Engineering | cipher | | **trenton** | Operational Security | ghost, cleaner | | **tyrell** | Leak Database Hunting | joanna, scott |

OPSEC Profiles

| Profile | Description | Timing | | ---------- | --------------------------------- | ------------- | | `surface` | No anonymity, max speed — lab/CTF | Immediate | | `standard` | Basic precautions, moderate speed | 1-5s delays | | `paranoid` | Full anonymity, Tor/VPN required | 10-60s delays |

Re-Running Setup

Running `/setup` in a directory with an existing `engagement.json` will offer to:

• Update targets, plugins, or scope (non-destructive)
• Re-check tools for newly added plugins
• Regenerate CLAUDE.md and README.md with updated configuration
• Append new targets to targets.jsonl (SHA256 deduplication prevents duplicates)
