Optimize codebase-to-config mapping: tech-flag detection heuristics (reuses hawkscan's evidence-file detection), plugin selection from a base preset, stackhawk.yml correctness (app type, OpenAPI, GraphQL, auth), and the default-balanced speed-vs-coverage profile lean.

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

# Codebase → Config Mapping

## Tech flags
Reuse the hawkscan skill's tech-flag detection heuristics (linked from the Companion
skills section of SKILL.md) — evidence files such as `package.json`, `pom.xml`, `go.mod`,
`requirements.txt`, `docker-compose.yml`, `Gemfile`, `*.csproj`/`*.sln`.
Map detected techs to canonical flag keys. The canonical flag list is authoritative — fetch
it with `hawk op app tech-flags get --app <APP> --format json` and only use keys that exist.
When enabling a child flag (e.g. `Language.Java.Spring`), also enable its parents.

## Plugins
Start from a base preset that matches the app shape:
- Plain REST/HTML app → `DEFAULT`
- OpenAPI-described API → `DEFAULT_API`
- GraphQL API → the GraphQL preset (confirm exact name via `hawk op policy list`)

Fetch the base with `hawk op policy get --name <PRESET>`. Then:
- DROP plugin families irrelevant to the detected stack (reduces noise + time).
- KEEP/ADD families the stack needs.
Validate every plugin id against the base policy's plugin list — never invent ids.
Edit the fetched JSON as little as possible: keep every field on every plugin entry (dropping

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stackhawk/agent-skills/cursor/.cursor/rules/stackhawk-optimize-mapping.mdc@sha256:ca5e383660a02221

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.830087c, 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.
