Strix, the open-source AI penetration-testing agent, carries 69,812 GitHub stars and a viral walkthrough describing a swarm of four specialised agents — Recon, Planning, Exploitation and Verification. Novel Cognition read the repository at main instead of the coverage: there is one agent template, a runtime agent graph, a 75-file skill library injected five at a time, and exactly one named role. Dynamic skill injection is real and is the part worth copying.
