HawkScan OpenAPI spec accuracy reference: framework-generic procedure for getting an accurate OpenAPI spec into openApiConf for a REST surface — prefer a spec the running app serves, suggest the code/build change that makes the framework generate one, verify it resolves against the app (base/context path), and derive one by hand only as a last resort. Use whenever wiring or fixing openApiConf, or when a scan's spec paths return 404s.

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

# OpenAPI Spec Accuracy Reference

A REST scan is only as good as the spec behind it. An **accurate** spec is one whose
operations match the app's real routes *and* resolve against the scanned host — same base
path, same context path. An inaccurate spec is worse than no spec: HawkScan faithfully
requests every path it declares, so wrong paths become a wall of 404s that bury real
coverage and generate recurring false-positive noise on every rescan.

This reference is framework-generic. Use it whenever a REST surface needs a spec wired into
`openApiConf` — discovery (SKILL.md Step 1a / `scan-planning.md`) points here, and the
quality gate points here when it reports a `spec-not-wired` or coverage gap.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stackhawk/agent-skills/cursor/.cursor/rules/stackhawk-hawkscan-openapi-specs.mdc@sha256:eab3b870ff392f95

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.d1c4528, 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.
