/quickstart Two modes, picked by whether $ARGUMENTS is empty. - Empty → Intro mode. Short orientation, then offer the guided first run. - Non-empty → Help mode. Treat $ARGUMENTS as the operator's question. --- Intro mode Keep it short and a little warm; this is the first thing a new operator sees. Say roughly: Welcome! This repo takes you from finding your first vulnerability to patching at scale, using a set of Claude Code skills and an autonomous pipeline. Two ways in: interactive skills (no setup, safe, start here) and the autonomous pipeline (Docker, scales to hundreds of parallel agents). The ramp-up: | Day 1 | Threat-model + first static scan + triage | | Day 2 | Run the reference pipeline (C/C++) | | Day 3-4 | Customize it for your stack | | Week 2 | Autonomous scanning, triage, and patching | Day-1 goal: threat-model, scan, and triage the bundled canary target.
