At a glance

Ranked next offensive moves from engagement state. An agent skill from Encod3d-Sec/TORCH.

  • Asked what next
  • Calls python3
  • At the start of an engagement session

What it does

Next Move is an agent skill from Encod3d-Sec/TORCH. Ranked next offensive moves from engagement state. Reads state/loot/Killchain, runs the deterministic analyzer, elaborates the top move. Use when asked "what next", "where to focus", "prioritize", or at the start of an engagement session.

Its SKILL.md is about 200 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Security. The repository describes itself as: Karpathy LLM based claude harness for PenetrationTesting / Bugbounty using obsidian. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked what next
  • At the start of an engagement session

Example prompts

  • “what next”
  • “where to focus”
  • “prioritize”
  • “/next-move”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d21b6c9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Next Move loads about 204 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 71 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~204

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Ranked next offensive moves from engagement state. Reads state/loot/Killchain, runs the deterministic analyzer, elaborates the top move. Use when asked "what next", "where to focus", "prioritize", or at the start of an engagement session.

Next Move (deprecated - now an input to /redteamlead)

next-move no longer runs standalone. Its ranked output is now one INPUT that /redteamlead reads before giving a wiki-grounded direction.

For "where do I go next", call Skill(redteamlead) instead of this skill directly.

The deterministic ranker stays and is unchanged:

python3 scripts/next_move.py --json

RTL reads this --json output (plus state/loot/Killchain/log and the wiki) to produce its ranked directions. Nothing else in this file is load-bearing anymore.
