stackhawk.yml cross-cutting config patterns: env var interpolation (${VAR:default}, whole-value rule), multi-environment config (host interpolation vs file layering), common config-time gotchas. For per-field syntax, use `hawk config show <field-path> --text`. For authentication, follow Phase 1c in SKILL.md.

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 Config Patterns Reference

> **Looking for per-field syntax?** Use `hawk config show <field-path> --text` for the canonical reference (e.g. `hawk config show hawk.spider --text`). This file documents *patterns* — env var interpolation, multi-env composition, common config-time gotchas — not individual field reference.

For authentication, follow Phase 1c in `SKILL.md` (uses `hawk config show <section> --text`).

## Env Var Interpolation

**Always use env var interpolation** (`${VAR:default}`) for sensitive values and anything that varies across environments.

**Syntax:** HawkScan uses `${VAR:default}` — single colon, no dash. The bash form `${VAR:-default}` is NOT supported.

**Whole-value rule:** The entire YAML value must be the variable. Mid-string interpolation does NOT work:

```yaml
# WRONG — will NOT interpolate
host: "https://${HOST}/api"

# RIGHT — interpolate the entire value
host: ${FULL_HOST_URL}
```
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stackhawk/agent-skills/cursor/.cursor/rules/stackhawk-hawkscan-config.mdc@sha256:7f3651961ce8b4d2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.36b2a3f, 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.
