name: guardian-cli
description: >
  An enterprise-grade, AI-powered penetration testing automation CLI tool.
  Orchestrates multiple specialized AI agents (Planner, ToolAgent, Analyst, Reporter)
  backed by 4 AI providers (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, OpenRouter) and 19 integrated
  security tools through YAML-defined workflows. Produces professional Markdown, HTML,
  or JSON security reports with full evidence capture and traceability.

# Guardian CLI – Skill Reference

## 1. Project Overview

**Guardian** (v2.0) is a Python 3.11+ CLI application that automates penetration testing workflows using a multi-agent AI system. It is designed for **authorized** security assessments only.

## 2. Architecture

### 2.1 Agent Pipeline

```
Target Input
    │
    ▼
WorkflowEngine.run_workflow()  ──or──  WorkflowEngine.run_autonomous()
    │
    ├──► PlannerAgent.decide_next_action()   — Strategic AI reasoning
    │
    ├──► ToolAgent.execute_tool()            — Runs the chosen security tool
    │
    ├──► AnalystAgent.interpret_output()     — Parses & links findings to executions
    │
    └──► ReporterAgent.execute()             — Generates markdown / HTML / JSON report
```

Each agent inherits from `BaseAgent` and uses a shared `PentestMemory` object that stores:

| Store | Class | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `findings` | `Finding` | Vulnerabilities discovered |
| `tool_executions` | `ToolExecution` | Full command + raw output |
| `completed_actions` | `list[str]` | Phase progress tracker |
| `current_phase` | `str` | reconnaissance → scanning → analysis → reporting |

### 2.2 AI Provider Abstraction

All providers implement the same `BaseProvider` interface, making them interchangeable at runtime:

| Provider | Env Var | Default Model |
|---|---|---|
| `openai` | `OPENAI_API_KEY` | `gpt-4o` |
| `claude` | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022` |
| `gemini` | `GOOGLE_API_KEY` | `gemini-2.5-pro` |
| `openrouter` | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | `anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet` |

Switch provider via `config/guardian.yaml` or `--provider` CLI flag.

---

## 3. CLI Commands

Run with `python -m cli.main <command>` (or `guardian <command>` after installation).

| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `init` | Create/validate `config/guardian.yaml` |
| `scan` | One-shot vulnerability scan on a target |
| `recon` | Passive / active reconnaissance |
| `analyze` | Re-analyze an existing session |
| `report` | Generate / re-generate a report for a session |
| `workflow list` | List available workflows |
| `workflow run` | Execute a named workflow against a target |
| `ai` | Query AI about a finding or custom prompt |
| `models` | List configured AI providers and models |
| `version` | Show version |

### Common Flags

```bash
--target <IP/domain/CIDR>   # Required for scan/recon/workflow run
--provider <openai|claude|gemini|openrouter>
--name <workflow-name>       # For workflow run
--format <markdown|html|json>
--session <SESSION_ID>       # For report regeneration
```

## 4. Workflow System

### 4.1 Running a Workflow

```bash
# List available workflows
python -m cli.main workflow list

# Web penetration test
python -m cli.main workflow run --name web_pentest --target https://target.example.com

# Full network assessment
python -m cli.main workflow run --name network --target 192.168.1.0/24

# Autonomous AI-driven pentest
python -m cli.main workflow run --name autonomous --target example.com
```

### 4.2 Built-in Workflows

| File | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `recon.yaml` | recon | Passive + active reconnaissance |
| `web_pentest.yaml` | web_pentest | HTTP discovery, vuln scan, report |
| `network_pentest.yaml` | network | Port scan, service detect, analysis |
| `advanced_recon.yaml` | advanced_recon | Deep subdomain + DNS enumeration |
| `full_vuln_scan.yaml` | full_vuln_scan | Comprehensive vulnerability sweep |
| `wordpress_audit.yaml` | wordpress_audit | WordPress-specific audit |
| `autonomous.yaml` | autonomous | AI-decides-everything mode |

### 4.3 Workflow YAML Schema

```yaml
name: my_workflow
description: "Short description"

steps:
  - name: http_discovery
    type: tool              # tool | analysis | report
    tool: httpx             # tool name (must match tools/ wrapper)
    objective: "Describe what to find"
    parameters:             # Override config/guardian.yaml defaults
      tech_detect: true
      threads: 100

  - name: analyze
    type: analysis
    agent: analyst
    objective: "Correlate findings"

  - name: generate_report
    type: report
    # format defaults to config output.format

settings:
  max_parallel_tools: 3
  require_confirmation: true
  save_intermediate: true
```
