# 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

```bash
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`
