Pentest Engagement Planner

Stage

• PTES: 1 - Pre-Engagement
• MITRE: N/A

Objective

Generate canonical scope.json, engagement brief, and statement of work templates.

Required Workflow

1. Validate scope before any active action and reject out-of-scope targets.
2. Run only authorized checks aligned to PTES, OWASP WSTG, NIST SP 800-115, and MITRE ATT&CK.
3. Write findings in canonical finding_schema format with reproducible PoC notes.
4. Honor dry-run mode and require explicit --i-have-authorization for live execution.
5. Export deterministic artifacts for downstream skill consumption.

Execution

python skills/pentest-engagement-planner/scripts/engagement_planner.py --scope scope.json --target <target> --input <path> --output <path> --format json --dry-run

Outputs

• scope.json
• engagement-brief.md
• statement-of-work-template.md
