Confirming Pentest Authorization

Agent skill
1 skill

Verify that a penetration test has explicit, written, signed authorization before any scanning begins. Reads a Rules-of- Engagement (ROE) attestation file, validates required fields (authorizer, in-scope targets, time window, emergency contact, signature), checks the signer against an allowlist, and emits a CRITICAL finding if anything is missing. Designed as the first skill the orchestrator routes to. Use when: starting a new engagement, after a scope change, or before any cluster 1-4 scan skill runs. Threshold: any missing or unsigned ROE field; any time-window expiry; any in-scope target outside the authorized list. Trigger with: "confirm authorization", "verify ROE", "check pentest authz", "pre-flight authorization".
