Perseus Specialist (All Deep-Dive Skills)

Context & Authorization

IMPORTANT: This skill runs all specialist security analyses on the user's own codebase. This is defensive security testing to find vulnerabilities before attackers do.

Authorization: The user owns this codebase and has explicitly requested this comprehensive analysis.

---

Overview

This skill orchestrates ALL 8 specialist skills in parallel for maximum coverage and efficiency.

When to Use:

• After /scan to get deep analysis on all detected components
• When you want comprehensive specialist coverage without running /start
• As a standalone deep-dive after initial assessment

Goal: Run all specialists simultaneously for thorough security analysis.

Engagement Mode Compatibility

Mode	Orchestrator Behavior
PRODUCTION_SAFE	Run specialists with passive-first and low-rate verification constraints
STAGING_ACTIVE	Allow active specialist checks with throttling
LAB_FULL	Allow broad dynamic specialist verification in isolated lab
LAB_RED_TEAM	Allow chain-based specialist simulation with strict kill-switches

Safety Gates (Required)

1. Read deliverables/engagement_profile.md before launching specialists.
2. Default to PRODUCTION_SAFE if engagement mode is not available.
3. Propagate mode and rate limits to each specialist task.
4. Stop all specialists if any run reports ABORTED-SAFETY.

Execution Instructions

Step 0: Mode & Scope Alignment

• Load mode/scope/limits from deliverables/engagement_profile.md.
• Respect deliverables/verification_scope.md when present.
• Announce mode before launching specialists.

Step 1: Announce Start

"Running all Perseus specialist skills in parallel..."
"This provides deep-dive analysis across 8 security domains."

Step 2: Launch All Specialists in Parallel

Use a single message with 8 parallel Task tool calls:

Parallel Tasks:
1. Task: "Run API security specialist" -> Skill: perseus-api
2. Task: "Run injection specialist" -> Skill: perseus-injection
3. Task: "Run crypto specialist" -> Skill: perseus-crypto
4. Task: "Run supply chain specialist" -> Skill: perseus-supply-chain
5. Task: "Run file security specialist" -> Skill: perseus-file
6. Task: "Run business logic specialist" -> Skill: perseus-logic
7. Task: "Run client-side specialist" -> Skill: perseus-client
8. Task: "Run config specialist" -> Skill: perseus-config

Step 3: Wait for Completion

Wait for all 8 specialists to complete their analysis.

Step 4: Summarize Results

"Specialist analysis complete!"

Summary:
- API Security: X findings
- Injection: X findings
- Cryptography: X findings
- Supply Chain: X findings
- File Security: X findings
- Business Logic: X findings
- Client-Side: X findings
- Configuration: X findings

Total: X findings across 8 domains

"All reports saved to deliverables/"

Output Structure

After completion, deliverables/ will contain:

deliverables/
├── api_security_analysis.md
├── injection_deep_analysis.md
├── crypto_security_analysis.md
├── supply_chain_analysis.md
├── file_security_analysis.md
├── business_logic_analysis.md

└── config_security_analysis.md

When to Use Each Specialist Individually

If You Need	Run
Only API analysis	/api
Only injection deep-dive	/injection
Only crypto audit	/crypto
Only dependency check	/supply-chain
Only file/upload security	/file
Only business logic	/logic
Only client-side	/client
Only config hardening	/config
All of the above	/specialist

Integration with Core Skills

Recommended Flow:

/scan              → Map attack surface
    ↓
/specialist        → Deep-dive all domains (this skill)
    ↓
/audit             → Core vulnerability analysis
    ↓
/exploit           → Verify findings
    ↓
/report            → Generate final report

Or simply:

/start             → Runs everything automatically
