Use when the user says "set up data for HawkScan", "my scan has no data to hit", "seed this repo for scanning", or as a first-time-setup step before invoking hawkscan on a fresh repo. Drives the 'hawk perch seed' subcommands (preflight, validate, finalize): runs the static pre-flight, designs the minimum seed manifest from the repo digest, then validates and finalizes reviewed artifacts under data-seed/ (SQL / HTTP / gRPC / Mongo / shell scripts, a manifest.yaml, and a…

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 Data Seed Skill

This skill produces checked-in, reproducible seed-data artifacts for a target repo so authenticated HawkScan finds non-empty results. The `hawk perch seed` command provides the deterministic steps — a static repo **pre-flight** (storage + upstream detection), a manifest **validator**, and an artifact **finalizer**. This skill supplies the reasoning between them: it reads the pre-flight's digest and designs the minimum seed manifest. It works the same across every agent that can run a subprocess and read its output.

It does NOT run the artifacts, start the environment, or write `stackhawk.yml` — those belong to the human, the user's tooling, and the `hawkscan` skill respectively.

## When to Run

Invoke explicitly when:

- User says "set up data for HawkScan" / "seed this repo" / "my scan has no data to hit."
- Configuring HawkScan against a repo for the first time and the app needs authenticated routes to scan.
- A previous `data-seed/` exists but the data shape changed (new entity types, new upstream service).

Do NOT run autonomously after code changes — this is a setup tool, not a per-commit safety net.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stackhawk/agent-skills/cursor/.cursor/rules/stackhawk-data-seed.mdc@sha256:13edf55167628e23

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260708.5dcc3eb, 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.
