managed-pentesting-with-strix skillB

managed-pentesting-with-strix is agent-read markdown (skill) from usestrix/strix: Run a managed pentest of a web app, API, repository, or local workspace on the app.strix.ai platform with the `strix cloud` CLI or REST API — no local Docker or LLM key needed. Safely review and upload local source, register assets, launch and poll scans, triage vulnerabilities, export SARIF, download compliance reports, start PR reviews, buy credits, and set up schedules or webhooks. Use for managed, continuous, scheduled, team-tracked, or sandboxed-agent security testing..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Strix Cloud (managed, no local infra)

Use this when you want Strix's autonomous pentesting **without running Docker or an LLM yourself** — the scan runs on Strix's infrastructure and results are tracked in a team dashboard. This is the right choice in sandboxed/hosted agent and CI environments, for teams, and for scheduled/continuous testing (downloadable PDF/DOCX reports are an Enterprise-plan feature). For fully local, free, air-gapped, or BYO-LLM runs, use the open-source CLI in the **penetration-testing-with-strix** skill instead — both share the same engine and SARIF output, so you can mix them.

There are two equivalent interfaces. Prefer the CLI:

- **`strix cloud` CLI** — every REST operation has a command in the form `strix cloud <resource> <verb>`. Install with `curl -sSL https://strix.ai/install | bash`. Run `strix cloud` to list all resources and `strix cloud <resource> help` (or `-h`) to list a resource's verbs; a bare resource with a safe read operation runs its documented default.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add usestrix/strix/managed-pentesting-with-strix@git:20260901.3de9471
Exact content
mdr add usestrix/strix/managed-pentesting-with-strix@sha256:45e1432ea897e59e

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
