# Coding Agents

> Use Strix from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other AI agents

Strix is built to be driven by AI coding agents. Install the official agent skills and your agent knows how to run pentests, remediate findings, and wire Strix into CI.

## Install the Skills

Works with any agent that supports the open [SKILL.md standard](https://agentskills.io) — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and dozens more:

```bash theme={null}
npx skills add usestrix/strix
```

| Skill                | What your agent learns                                                                                                             |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `strix-pentest`      | Run headless scans against code, URLs, domains, or IPs — self-hosted CLI or managed cloud — with budget caps, and read the results |
| `strix-cloud-api`    | Drive the managed [app.strix.ai](https://app.strix.ai) platform over REST — no local Docker or LLM key needed                      |
| `strix-fix-findings` | Triage findings, fix root causes, and re-run Strix to verify each fix                                                              |
| `strix-ci-setup`     | Add PR security scanning to GitHub Actions or any CI (self-hosted CLI or managed app)                                              |

Install a single skill with `npx skills add usestrix/strix --skill strix-pentest`, or use one without installing:

```bash theme={null}
npx skills use usestrix/strix@strix-pentest | claude
```

## Two ways to run — self-hosted or managed

Both use the same engine and produce the same validated findings and SARIF, so agents can pick per situation or combine them:

* **Open-source CLI (self-hosted)** — runs locally in a Docker sandbox with your own LLM key. Free, fully local, air-gap capable. Best for local dev loops and full control.
* **Managed cloud** — runs on Strix's infrastructure via the [app.strix.ai REST API](https://docs.app.strix.ai). No Docker, no LLM key, no local install; adds team dashboards, scheduling, PR reviews, and downloadable PDF/DOCX reports (Enterprise plan). Best in sandboxed/CI environments and for teams. Create an API token under **Settings → API Access**; the `strix-cloud-api` skill has the full flow.

## Agent-Friendly Interfaces

Everything an agent needs is machine-readable:

* **Headless CLI** — `strix -n` runs without the TUI and exits with `0` (clean), `1` (error), or `2` (vulnerabilities found).
* **REST API** — the managed platform exposes a documented [OpenAPI](https://docs.app.strix.ai/openapi.json) at `https://app.strix.ai/api/v1` (scans, vulnerabilities, assets, PR reviews, schedules, webhooks) with bearer tokens and scopes.
* **Structured results** — every run writes `vulnerabilities.json`, `vulnerabilities.csv`, `findings.sarif` (SARIF 2.1.0), and per-finding Markdown under `strix_runs/<run-name>/`; the cloud exposes the same as JSON plus SARIF export.
* **Budget controls** — `--max-budget` and `--max-turns` give agents hard cost/time caps.
* **`AGENTS.md`** — the [repository's agent guide](https://github.com/usestrix/strix/blob/main/AGENTS.md) with a quick reference.
* **`llms.txt`** — this documentation is indexed at [docs.strix.ai/llms.txt](https://docs.strix.ai/llms.txt) and fully exported at [docs.strix.ai/llms-full.txt](https://docs.strix.ai/llms-full.txt); every page is also available as Markdown by appending `.md` to its URL.

## Example Prompts

Once the skills are installed, prompts like these just work:

```text theme={null}
Pentest this repo with Strix (quick mode, $10 budget) and summarize the findings.
```

```text theme={null}
Fix all critical and high findings from the last Strix run, then re-scan to verify.
```

```text theme={null}
Add Strix security scanning to our GitHub Actions so every PR gets tested.
```
