Install
codex plugin marketplace add stackhawk/agent-skills-marketplace
codex plugin add wingman@stackhawk
wingman is the StackHawk umbrella plugin — one install pulls the full skill set (hawkscan, stackhawk-api, data-seed, optimize).
Install the hawk CLI
The hawk CLI is a single self-contained binary — hawkop is now bundled in as hawk op, and no separate Java install is required.
brew tap stackhawk/cli && brew trust stackhawk/cli && brew install hawk Download the self-contained hawk binary from the downloads page.
Download and run the hawk.exe MSI installer from the downloads page — self-contained, no Java required.
CMD users: use PowerShell (built into Windows 10+) or WSL.
Then authenticate:
hawk init --browser
hawk init --browser opens your browser to approve access, then provisions and saves your API key automatically — no copy/paste. (On Windows, run hawk.exe init --browser.) Prefer to manage keys yourself? Create one at app.stackhawk.com → Settings → API Keys.
Verify
After installation, ask Codex: “What StackHawk skills do you have?”
Usage
Ask Codex to scan your application:
Scan my app running on localhost:8080 for security vulnerabilities
Codex will configure HawkScan, run the scan, parse findings, and help you fix them.
Tips
- The agent checks if your app is running and will prompt you to start it if needed
- For authenticated endpoints, describe your auth pattern and Codex will configure the scan
- Use
hawk validate config stackhawk.ymlto debug config issues
