Use when querying the StackHawk platform for security reporting, findings analysis, or app management. Triggers include "stackhawk api", "security posture", "findings report", "show me findings", "untriaged findings", "which apps", "scan history", "security dashboard", "triage", "what needs attention". Uses the combined hawk CLI (hawk op …) for all platform queries. Do NOT use for running scans (use the stackhawk-hawkscan rule for "scan my app", "hawkscan", "stackhawk.yml", "DAST") or for…

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

# StackHawk API Skill

This skill enables Claude to act as a security reporting agent against the StackHawk
platform. The core workflow is:

**Question → Authenticate → Query API via `hawk op` → Present Results → Suggest Next Actions**

All platform queries run through the `hawk` binary's `op` subtree
(`hawk op …`). It authenticates, refreshes tokens, follows pagination, and
emits stable JSON. There is no raw-REST fallback — if `hawk` is unavailable,
install it and run `hawk init --browser` rather than hand-rolling curl.
See [`references/hawk-op-shortcuts.md`](references/hawk-op-shortcuts.md).

## Step 1: Assess Context

Before making any calls, check what's available:

1. **Is `hawk` installed and configured?** (`hawk version` reports v6.0.0 or greater)
   ```bash
   # Identify the driving skill for CLI usage telemetry (read by hawk/hawkop).
   export _STACKHAWK_SKILL=api
   command -v hawk >/dev/null && hawk op status
   ```
   - valid org + JWT → proceed.
   - installed but unconfigured → `hawk init --browser` (interactive; the combined binary
     has no `hawk op init` — `hawk init` writes `~/.hawk/hawk.properties`, which
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stackhawk/agent-skills/cursor/.cursor/rules/stackhawk-api.mdc@sha256:85c0bada37faa721

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.7edcfdc, 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.
