/autopilot

Autonomous hunt loop with deterministic scope safety and configurable checkpoints.

Usage

/autopilot target.com                    # default: --paranoid mode
/autopilot target.com --normal           # batch checkpoint after validation
/autopilot target.com --yolo             # minimal checkpoints (still requires report approval)
/autopilot target.com --quick            # fast surface scan, fewer checks, lower token use
/autopilot targets.txt                   # multiple targets — one domain per line in the file

Session Isolation (Important)

**Start a fresh Claude Code session per target.** Claude accumulates context across a session — testing multiple targets in one session causes cross-contamination where findings, payloads, and tech stack assumptions from target A bleed into target B.

Best practice:

# Terminal 1: target A
claude  →  /autopilot targetA.com

# Terminal 2: target B (separate process)
claude  →  /autopilot targetB.com

If you must test multiple targets in one session, run `/pickup target.com` at the start of each target switch to reload the correct context.

Token Optimization

Use `--quick` for faster, lower-cost scans (skips deep fuzzing and extended nuclei templates):

/autopilot target.com --quick    # ~40% fewer tokens, covers main attack surface
/hunt target.com --vuln-class idor   # single bug class — lowest token use

For long hunts, run `/compact` (Claude Code built-in) periodically to compress context without losing findings.

What This Does

`/autopilot` is **the same pipeline as running `/scope → /recon → /surface → /hunt → /validate → /report` back-to-back, but driven by one agent loop instead of you re-prompting at each step.** Same scripts. Same outputs. No new capabilities — just less typing and built-in checkpoints.

1. SCOPE     Load and confirm program scope                       (≡ /scope)
2. RECON     bash tools/recon_engine.sh <target>                  (≡ /recon, reuses cache if < 7 days old)
3. RANK      Prioritize attack surface (recon-ranker agent)       (≡ /surface)
4. HUNT      python3 tools/hunt.py --target <target> --scan-only  (≡ /hunt)
5. VALIDATE  7-Question Gate on findings                          (≡ /validate)
6. REPORT    Draft reports for validated findings                 (≡ /report — never auto-submits)
7. CHECKPOINT  Present to human for review                        (frequency depends on mode flag)

When to pick `/autopilot` vs running the steps yourself

  • **Use the manual chain** (`/recon` → `/hunt` → `/validate` → `/report`) when you want full control between steps, when you're exploring a new bug class, or when you're on a weaker / free model that wanders. You can stop after any phase and inspect output.
  • **Use `/autopilot`** when you trust the target surface, want to burn through scope quickly, and only need to look up when something interesting fires. The checkpoint mode controls how often it stops.
  • **Output equivalence**: an `/autopilot` run on `target.com` produces the same `recon/<target>/` and `findings/<target>/` directories as running `/recon target.com` then `/hunt target.com` manually.

Safety Guarantees

  • **Every URL** is checked against the scope allowlist before any request
  • **Every request** is logged to `hunt-memory/audit.jsonl`
  • **Reports are NEVER auto-submitted** — always requires explicit approval
  • **PUT/DELETE/PATCH** require human approval in --yolo mode (safe methods only)
  • **Circuit breaker** stops hammering if 5 consecutive 403/429/timeout on same host
  • **Rate limited** at 1 req/sec (testing) and 10 req/sec (recon)

Checkpoint Modes

| Mode | When it stops | Best for | |---|---|---| | `--paranoid` | Every finding + partial signal | New targets, learning the surface | | `--normal` | After validation batch | Systematic coverage | | `--yolo` | After full surface exhausted | Familiar targets, experienced hunters |

After Autopilot

  • Run `/remember` to log successful patterns to hunt memory
  • Run `/pickup target.com` next time to pick up where you left off
  • Check `hunt-memory/audit.jsonl` for a full request log
