This skill wraps Strix, an AI-driven security testing CLI that runs vulnerability scans inside a Docker sandbox using an LLM for reasoning. You point it at local code, GitHub repos, or live URLs you're authorized to test, and it hunts for security issues using configurable scan depths from quick PR checks to deep bug bounty style exploration. The setup is straightforward if you've got Docker running and an OpenAI-compatible API key. It handles both white-box source analysis and black-box live testing, can combine multiple targets in one scan, and returns structured results with exit codes you can wire into CI. The instruction file approach for passing credentials and scope rules is cleaner than most pentest automation tools I've seen.

strix - AI-Driven Application Security Testing

Keyword: strix · ai pentest · vulnerability scan cli · strix ci

Only use Strix against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test.

Strix is an AI-driven application security CLI. It runs scans inside a Docker-backed sandbox, uses an LLM provider for reasoning, and can assess local directories, GitHub repositories, live URLs, domains, and multi-target combinations.

When to use this skill

  • Install Strix and verify Docker plus sandbox readiness
  • Configure STRIX_LLM, LLM_API_KEY, optional LLM_API_BASE, and related runtime settings
  • Run local white-box scans against a repository or directory
  • Run black-box or grey-box scans against staging or production-like URLs you are authorized to test
  • Pass credentials, scope, or rules of engagement with --instruction or --instruction-file
  • Choose the right scan depth: quick, standard, or deep
  • Run Strix headlessly in CI/CD and interpret exit codes
  • Understand Strix's internal security "skills" and how they differ from this repo's skills
