🎭 Phantom AI

Adaptive AI-powered web crawler with behavioral mutation engine.

Powered by Claude Sonnet 4.5+ - the crawler evolves its behavior to match what targets expect.

✨ Features

• 🧠 AI-Driven: Uses Claude Sonnet 4.5 for behavioral analysis
• 🔄 Self-Mutating: DNA evolves based on target responses
• 🚦 Green Light System: Trust-based progression from RED → GREEN
• 📊 Real-time Dashboard: Web UI for monitoring and control
• 🎯 Multi-target: Crawl multiple sites simultaneously
• 🔒 Stealth: Adapts to avoid detection

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Via npx (no install)
npx phantom-ai-crawler

# Or install globally
npm install -g phantom-ai-crawler
phantom-ai

# Or local install
npm install phantom-ai-crawler
npx phantom-ai

First Run

# 1. Setup (configure API key)
phantom-ai setup

# 2. Start server
phantom-ai start

# 3. Open dashboard
# http://localhost:8081

🛠️ Commands

phantom-ai               # Start server (default)
phantom-ai start         # Start backend + dashboard
phantom-ai setup         # Run configuration wizard
phantom-ai status        # Check configuration

Options

phantom-ai start -p 3000      # Backend on port 3000
phantom-ai start -u 8080      # Dashboard on port 8080
phantom-ai start --setup      # Force reconfiguration

🔧 Configuration

The setup wizard will ask for:

1. Anthropic API Key - Get from https://console.anthropic.com
2. Claude Model - Recommended: claude-4-5-sonnet-20250929
3. Backend Port - Default: 4000
4. Dashboard Port - Default: 8081

Config is saved to .env in your working directory.

🧬 How It Works

1. Discovery (🔴 RED): Initial reconnaissance phase
2. Learning (🟡 YELLOW): Testing behavioral patterns
3. Established (🟢 GREEN): Trusted access achieved
4. Maintenance: Continuous adaptation

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) analyzes each interaction and suggests DNA mutations to improve trust scores.

📝 Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• Anthropic API key
• Claude Sonnet 4.5+ access

🐛 Troubleshooting

Port already in use:

phantom-ai start -p 3000 -u 8080  # Use different ports

Database issues:

rm phantom.db  # Reset database
phantom-ai setup

API key not working:

phantom-ai status  # Check configuration
phantom-ai setup   # Reconfigure
