OpSec Agent
Ask an operational-security question
The agent answers opsec questions from Oak's own knowledgebase. When Oak's KB doesn't cover it, it falls back to the SEAL framework, clearly attributed. Off-topic questions are declined.
Ask your question
One operational-security question at a time. Plain English, any complexity level.
Sourced answer
The agent quotes the relevant Oak guide or wiki page. If Oak doesn't cover it, it uses the SEAL framework and says so explicitly.
General guidance
