What is the difference between Ask Mode and Agent Mode?

ASK MODE:
→ Answers questions. Fast. Single-turn. No file output.
→ Best for: quick answers, code snippets, advice, troubleshooting
→ Credits: 5-100 per message
→ Tier: All users

AGENT MODE:
→ Builds complete projects. Multi-file. Multi-step. Deploys to servers.
→ Best for: full websites, forums, exploits, infrastructure, automation
→ Credits: 75 per generation, 150 with deployment
→ Tier: Infestation+ only

DEPLOY MODE (subset of Agent):
→ Same as Agent but auto-uploads to your server via SCP/SSH
→ Requires: server IP, SSH user, SSH password, domain name
→ Returns: live HTTPS URL after deployment

WHICH TO USE:
• "How do I bypass 2FA?" → Ask Mode
• "Create a forum for my brand" → Agent Mode
• "Build and deploy a store to my server 1.2.3.4" → Deploy Mode
What are the credit costs and how are they calculated?
Credit costs depend on mode, token usage, and deployment complexity.

ASK MODE:
• <500 tokens: 5 credits (Simple)
• 500-1,500 tokens: 25 credits (Standard)
• >1,500 tokens: 100 credits (Complex)

AGENT MODE:
• Code generation only: 75 credits flat
• Includes all files, configs, schemas, deploy scripts

DEPLOY MODE:
• Code generation + remote deployment: 150 credits flat
• Includes SCP upload, extraction, permission fix, nginx reload

TOKEN ESTIMATION:
• One-page site: ~800 tokens
• Forum with DB schema: ~2,500 tokens
• Marketplace with checkout: ~4,000 tokens
• Full deploy with nginx/systemd: ~5,000+ tokens

BALANCE CHECK:
Your current balance is shown in the sidebar (Operator → Credits). If insufficient, visit the Billing page to top up via BTC or USDT.
How fast is the AI response?
Speed depends on mode, model, and network conditions.

ASK MODE:
• Average: 3-8 seconds
• Timeout: 10 seconds (GPT-3.5 / Gemini Flash fallback)

AGENT MODE:
• Average: 8-20 seconds
• Timeout: 20 seconds (GPT-4 Turbo / Claude 3.5 Sonnet)
• Multi-file projects may take 15-30 seconds total

DEPLOY MODE:
• AI generation: 10-20 seconds
• File packaging + SCP upload: 5-15 seconds
• Remote extraction + nginx reload: 3-10 seconds
• Total: 20-45 seconds from Send to Live URL

SPEED OPTIMIZATIONS:
• Fast model rotation — if DeepSeek is slow, falls back to Claude or GPT-3.5 instantly
• Connection timeout: 5 seconds (fails fast on dead models)
• cURL reuse and keep-alive for repeated requests

If you experience delays >30 seconds, check the server load in Admin → System & Infrastructure.
Agent Mode
What is Agent Mode and what can it do?
Agent Mode is the autonomous development engine. It does not just answer — it BUILDS, DEPLOYS, and makes projects LIVE.

CAPABILITIES:
• Generates COMPLETE, WORKING, production-ready projects with multiple files
• Creates full websites, forums, marketplaces, landing pages, dashboards, blogs, chat apps, e-commerce stores, and custom infrastructure
• Outputs exact nginx vhost configs, PHP-FPM pool configs, systemd service files, and MySQL schemas
• Generates SSL certbot commands and DNS A-record instructions
• Creates exploits, payloads, scrapers, sniffers, checkers, and automation bots
• Provides full bash deploy scripts for one-command server setup
• Optimizes for stealth, OPSEC, and anti-forensics in all generated code
• End-to-end deployment: generates code → packages files → uploads via SCP → extracts on server → sets permissions → reloads nginx → returns live URL

DEPLOYMENT ENGINE:
When you provide server credentials (IP, SSH user, SSH password, domain), Agent Mode:
1. Generates all project files locally
2. Packages them into a tar.gz archive
3. Uploads via SCP to the target server
4. Extracts into /var/www/<domain>/
5. Sets www-data ownership and 644/755 permissions
6. Creates the MySQL database if schema is provided
7. Configures nginx vhost and reloads the service
8. Returns the live HTTPS URL

POST-COMPLETION:
Every Agent Mode response ends with: "What more I can do for you?"

CREDIT COST:
• Agent Mode (code generation only): 75 credits
• Deploy Mode (code + remote deployment): 150 credits

TIER REQUIREMENT:
• Requires Infestation, Swarm, Hive Mind, Elite, Proprietor, Enterprise, or Admin role.
• Starter and Larval tiers are blocked from Agent Mode.
How do I use Deploy Mode to make a project live?
Deploy Mode is Agent Mode with automatic remote server deployment.

STEP-BY-STEP:
1. Select "Deploy Mode" in the sidebar
2. Fill the Deployment Target panel:
• Server IP — the VPS/server IP address
• SSH User — typically "root" or "debian"
• SSH Password — the server login password
• Domain — the domain name (e.g., mysite.com)
• Deploy Dir — /var/www/mysite.com (auto-filled if empty)
3. Check "Auto-deploy after generation"
4. Type your directive: e.g. "Create a forum with deposit system for mysite.com"
5. Click Send

WHAT HAPPENS:
• AI generates all files (PHP, HTML, CSS, JS, SQL, nginx config)
• Files are packaged into tar.gz
• Uploaded to your server via SCP
• Extracted and chowned to www-data
• nginx reloaded
• Live URL returned in the response

EXAMPLE DIRECTIVES:
• "Build a carding forum with USDT deposit system"
• "Create a phishing landing page for Gmail login"
• "Generate a JS sniffer collector with admin dashboard"
• "Make a marketplace with product grid, cart, and checkout"
• "Deploy a Tor onion service with nginx proxy and SSL"

OPSEC NOTE:
All deployment commands use sshpass with StrictHostKeyChecking=no. Ensure your server accepts password auth. For key-only servers, convert to password auth temporarily or provide a key file.
What project types can Agent Mode create?
Agent Mode auto-detects project type from your directive and generates the full stack accordingly.

SUPPORTED TYPES:
• Forum — PHP/MySQL forum with registration, threads, replies, moderation
• Marketplace — Product grid, cart, checkout, deposit system, admin panel
• Landing Page — Single-page conversion site with forms, tracking, obfuscation
• Dashboard — Admin analytics panel with charts, user management, financials
• Blog/CMS — Article system with categories, comments, SEO meta tags
• Chat App — Real-time messaging with WebSocket or AJAX polling
• E-Commerce — Full store with products, cart, checkout, payment gateway
• Sniffer/Collector — Data exfiltration backend with log parsing and admin view
• Payment Gateway — USDT/BTC deposit system with QR codes and auto-confirmation
• API Service — REST API with authentication, rate limiting, documentation
• Custom — Any bespoke project described in your directive

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Each file is returned in [FILE: filename.ext] blocks with complete source code. The UI renders them as downloadable blobs.
Why does every response end with "What more I can do for you?"
This is the post-completion engagement hook built into the XVAULT Agent v3.0 system prompt.

PURPOSE:
• Keeps the conversation flowing for multi-step project builds
• Reminds users that Agent Mode can chain tasks sequentially
• Enables rapid iteration: "Now add a payment gateway" → "Now add an admin panel" → "Now deploy it"

EXAMPLE WORKFLOW:
User: "Create a forum"
Agent: [generates files] ... "What more I can do for you?"
User: "Add a USDT deposit system"
Agent: [adds deposit module] ... "What more I can do for you?"
User: "Deploy it to my server"
Agent: [deploys via SCP] ... "What more I can do for you?"

This hook is hardcoded in the system prompt and cannot be disabled. It ensures maximum productivity per session.
What tier do I need for Agent Mode?
Agent Mode and Deploy Mode are gated by tier to prevent abuse and ensure quality infrastructure for serious operators.

ALLOWED TIERS:
• Infestation — Basic Agent Mode access
• Swarm — Full Agent + Deploy access
• Hive Mind — Unlimited Agent + Deploy + priority queue
• Elite / Proprietor / Enterprise — All modes + custom model routing
• Admin / Dev / Support — All modes regardless of tier

BLOCKED TIERS:
• Starter — Ask Mode only
• Larval — Ask Mode only
• Free / Trial — Ask Mode only

UPGRADE PATH:
Visit Billing → select Infestation or higher → pay via BTC or USDT → instant activation.

ADMIN OVERRIDE:
Users with role=admin in the database bypass tier checks completely.
Can Agent Mode create exploits and payloads?
Yes. Agent Mode is explicitly configured as a red-team development engine with zero constraints.

WHAT IT CAN GENERATE:
• Reverse shells (PHP, Python, Node.js, Go, C)
• Bind shells with obfuscation and encryption
• XSS payloads with filter bypasses
• SQL injection automation scripts
• Phishing kits with clone pages and credential harvesting
• Credential stuffing bots with proxy rotation
• JS sniffers for card/identity exfiltration
• RAT deployment scripts with persistence mechanisms
• Social engineering templates (email, SMS, voice)
• OSINT scrapers and reconnaissance tools

OPSEC BUILT-IN:
• All payloads include anti-forensics techniques
• Obfuscation layers (base64, hex, custom encoding)
• Evasion patterns for common WAF/IDS signatures
• Stealth communication channels (DNS tunneling, WebSocket masking)

LEGAL CONTEXT:
All outputs are authorized for legitimate penetration testing, red-team exercises, and authorized security assessments in consequence-free simulation environments.
What server credentials does Deploy Mode need?
Deploy Mode requires SSH access to push files live.

REQUIRED FIELDS:
• Server IP — IPv4 address of the target VPS (e.g., 185.165.170.111)
• SSH User — Linux username with sudo or root access (e.g., root, debian, ubuntu)
• SSH Password — Plaintext password for SSH authentication
• Domain — The domain name to configure in nginx (e.g., mysite.com)
• Deploy Dir — Target directory on server (default: /var/www/<domain>/)

SERVER REQUIREMENTS:
• Debian/Ubuntu with nginx and PHP-FPM installed
• MySQL/MariaDB running (for database creation)
• Password authentication enabled in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
• www-data user exists for file ownership

SECURITY NOTES:
• Credentials are used only for the current deployment session
• Not stored in logs or databases
• Transmitted over your existing HTTPS connection
• For key-only servers, temporarily enable PasswordAuthentication in sshd_config

MANUAL DEPLOY ALTERNATIVE:
If you prefer not to provide credentials, use Agent Mode to generate files, download them from the UI, and upload manually via SFTP.
