Use when the user wants to WIRE HawkScan into a CI/CD pipeline config file — triggers on "set up hawkscan in CI", "add stackhawk to my pipeline", "scan in CI", "configure github actions / gitlab / jenkins / circleci for hawkscan", "wire hawkscan into ci/cd", or any provider-named variant. Provider-agnostic: detects the CI system from repo files, edits the pipeline file in place to add a HawkScan job, prompts for HAWK_API_KEY storage in the CI's native secrets store…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# HawkScan CI Skill

This skill graduates a working *local* HawkScan setup into a CI/CD
pipeline. It is a wrapper around the local-scan path the `hawkscan`
skill owns — it never generates `stackhawk.yml`, never picks auth
recipes, never parses findings. Its scope is the pipeline file alone.

**Hand-off rule:** if `stackhawk.yml` doesn't exist or doesn't validate,
the agent must invoke the `hawkscan` skill first. This skill does not
onboard apps from scratch.

---

## Step 0: Hand-off Check

Before doing anything CI-specific, confirm the local scan path is in
place. Run:

```bash
test -f stackhawk.yml || echo "MISSING_CONFIG"
timeout 30 hawk validate config stackhawk.yml 2>&1 | head -20
```

If `stackhawk.yml` is missing, validation fails, or `applicationId` is
still a placeholder (`${APP_ID}` with no real value, or literal
`your-app-id`):

> "I need a working local scan first. Run the hawkscan skill (or
> invoke it explicitly) to generate and validate `stackhawk.yml`, then
> come back here."

Stop. Do not proceed. That message is the entire output: do not preview
the pipeline (no action names, images, secrets, triggers, or workflow
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stackhawk/agent-skills/hawkscan-ci@sha256:4c7da93b207a4d59

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.0.0-dev, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
