# Course 2: The Paladin Agent System

This course takes you inside the Paladin agent system - the core intelligence layer that makes TurboPentest an agentic penetration testing platform rather than a tool pipeline. You will learn how 14 dockerized reconnaissance tools feed into specialist AI agents, how those agents scale across pricing tiers, and how cross-agent correlation produces findings that no single tool or agent could discover alone.

## Modules

1. **Phase 1 Tools** - The 14 dockerized security tools that run in parallel for automated reconnaissance
2. **Phase 2 Agents** - How Paladin agents consume Phase 1 output and conduct agentic analysis
3. **Specialist Agents** - The 9 specialist agents, their focus areas, and their system prompts
4. **Tier Scaling** - How agent count scales from Recon (1) to Audit-Ready (4) to Threat-Hunt (10) to Adversarial-Depth (20)
5. **Adversarial-Depth Agents** - Depth passes, the Exploit Chain agent, and the Verification agent
6. **Blackboard in Action** - Findings, leads, agent status, chat, and assignments on the shared blackboard
7. **Cross-Agent Correlation** - How multi-agent findings combine for higher-impact discoveries
