What does this PR do?

Two-line change to the README hero section, generated from a scheduled SEO/discoverability review of the org's public repos. Not merged, for your review only.

  1. Replaces "The first open-source AI agent built for offensive security" with "The provider-agnostic AI agent for offensive security."

    Several comparable open-source AI pentesting/red-teaming agents were created before this repo (e.g. usestrix/strix, 0x4m4/hexstrike-ai, KeygraphHQ/shannon, JoasASantos/NeuroSploit all predate CyberStrike's Feb 2026 creation date). The "first" claim is not defensible and is a credibility risk if a visitor checks. The new line leans on a differentiator that is actually true and unique among comparable projects: 150+ LLM providers, no vendor lock-in.

  2. Changes "Automated penetration testing from your terminal" to "Autonomous penetration testing and AI red teaming from your terminal."

    "AI red teaming" is the fastest-growing phrase in this space right now (120+ GitHub repos tagged ai-red-teaming, used by high-visibility 2026 entrants like Tencent/AI-Infra-Guard and microsoft/AI-Red-Teaming-Playground-Labs). CyberStrike already does red teaming work (see the Agents and Skills sections) but the word never appears in the hero copy that most visitors and search engines read first.

Checklist

  • PR is focused on a single change
  • No secrets, credentials, or API keys in the diff
  • Breaking changes are documented (if any) — n/a, no breaking changes

This is one item from a broader SEO/discoverability report also covering the repo's GitHub topics, About description, and the org's other public repos (bolt, cyberstrike-firefox-ext, homebrew-tap). Full report was sent separately for review; nothing else was changed automatically.

Replace the unverifiable 'first open-source AI agent' claim (several
comparable open-source AI pentesting agents predate this repo) with a
tagline centered on the genuine differentiator: provider-agnostic,
zero lock-in. Also surfaces 'AI red teaming' phrasing alongside
'penetration testing', matching current search and GitHub-topic
language in this space.
