Recipes

Recipes are short task pages. Each recipe solves one task. Each recipe ends with a check you can run. The recipes rise in difficulty. Recipe 1 installs Trishula on a local Docker provider and reads the first verdict. Recipe 2 applies a WAFPolicy and reads the verdict line. Recipes 3 to 12 carry the advanced lanes: verdicts, budgets, exclusions, bans, kernel maps and the bench. The later lanes carry the manual ban rule, the shield runner, the challenge and the release verification.

The categories

The sidebar carries the five folders; every recipe = one page.

Folder Recipes
Getting started 1, 2, 3
Policy and rules 4, 9, 11
Kernel enforcement 6, 7, 10
CRS and the bench 5, 8
Release and supply chain 12

The recipe ramp

The table lists the planned ramp. Simple tasks sit first. Advanced tasks sit last. Every recipe = one page; the categories = the sidebar folders. A planned recipe stays PENDING until a worked pin and a smoke run exist.

The recipe form

Every recipe carries the same parts:

  • A header strip table. The columns: Tool, Section, Level, Time, Layer, Tags.
  • Problem — the task and its walls.
  • Solution — numbered steps. Each step quotes a real command.
  • Discussion — what the step did. What to watch. What to tune.
  • See also — the linked surfaces.
  • Expected output shows shapes and placeholders only. A recipe never prints an invented transcript.
  • The provenance footer records the pin, the date and the smoke status.

Level is metadata: easy, medium or hard. Level never becomes a navigation layer. The prose follows ASD-STE100:

  • One thought per sentence. 20 words at most.
  • Active voice. Present tense. Approved verbs. Digits for numbers.
  • Steps read imperative.
