Capabilities

What is a capability?

Capabilities bundle a system prompt, tool access, and skills into a single loadable package. They let you swap workflows quickly without leaving the CLI.

Built-in capabilities include:

• dreadairt — AI red teaming workflows
• dreadweb — web application pentesting workflows

$ dreadnode
dreadnode> /capabilities
