As you read through the documentation, you might encounter some specific terms. Here is a quick cheat sheet:
| Term | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Provider | The backend AI engine powering Siyarix (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama). |
| Tool | A traditional security executable installed on your system (e.g., nmap, nuclei). |
| Plan | A step-by-step sequence of tool commands intelligently generated by the AI. |
| Workflow | A hardcoded, predefined execution path (usually defined in YAML/JSON) that doesn't require AI generation. |
| Persona | A specialized behavioral profile given to the AI (e.g., instructing it to act specifically as a "Network Recon Specialist"). |
| Knowledge Graph | Siyarix's internal memory where it stores findings (like IP addresses, open ports) to contextually inform future steps. |
