Configuring your AI vulnerability harness, Part 2: The steering file

Summary

This post explains how to configure an AI model for structured, evidence-based vulnerability triage through a steering file, a set of persistent instructions loaded at the start of each session. It covers five configuration sections that enforce structural verification, evidence-based scoring and infrastructure-aware prioritization. The text is a partial excerpt and ends mid-section, so the remaining content is not reflected here.
