Key Features

Agent loop security
StackHawk integrates into the agent loop to test your running app, surface what’s actually exploitable , and fix it — before a PR is opened.
Pre-commit fixes
Vulnerabilities are fixed before code is ever committed, closing the window before attackers can use it.
Backlog reduction
Create fixes, not tickets. No more triaging and your backlog shrinks instead of compounding.
Security workflow
The same AI coding agent that builds your feature calls StackHawk—scanning the app, fixing issues, and verifying them before you push.
Fix verification
A rescan confirms the vulnerability is gone. Ship clean code.
HawkScan skill
The agent runs security tests against your running app. Post-commit and pre-PR, vulnerabilities are identified, remediated, and verified to ensure they’re gone.
Platform optimization
The agent communicates with the StackHawk platform to optimize how your applications are tested and triaged. Configure the security tooling without becoming a security expert.
Cursor installation
Cursor builds the feature. StackHawk proves it’s safe to ship. StackHawk agent skills install into Cursor via .cursor/rules/. The agent can run HawkScan, parse findings, and patch code — without leaving the editor.
Codex workflow
One install. Security built into Codex. StackHawk agent skills ship as a Codex plugin. After install, Codex can configure scans, test your local app, and remediate findings as part of its normal build loop.
Antigravity workflow
StackHawk scans, fixes, and verifies apps built in Antigravity. Install StackHawk agent skills as a plugin and the agent can configure scans, test your app, remediate findings, and verify fixes as part of its workflow.
Automatic scans
The plugin automatically scans at session start, after commits, and when your agent finishes responding. You can also request a scan anytime.
Running app scans
Point the agent at your running app, local/dev/test/prod, and it hits it with real HTTP requests. Scan traffic never leaves your machine.
Agent fixes
Your agent has your full source, so it fixes in your patterns. Every change lands in your working tree as a normal git diff.

Pros and cons

Pros

Integrates security testing and fixes directly into AI coding agent workflows, reducing context switching.
Automatically discovers and maps application attack surfaces from source code for comprehensive coverage.
Provides automatic vulnerability remediation with verification before code commits to prevent exploitable code shipping.
Supports multiple popular AI coding agents, enabling team-wide consistent security processes.
Includes sensitive data detection and risk insights to prioritize security efforts effectively.

Cons

Pricing is based on per-user subscription which may be costly for large teams.
Limited to integration with specific AI coding agents; may not support all development environments.
Advanced features like attack surface discovery and reporting require the higher-tier Scale plan.
No explicit mention of support for legacy or non-AI coding workflows.
Free trial limited to 14 days, which may be short for some evaluation needs.

Developer features

Code remediation
The agent remediates directly in the codebase, using full source context to write the correct fix.
Claude Code security
StackHawk is the dynamic security tester your Claude Code agent was missing. Install StackHawk agent skills once and Claude Code can find and fix exploitable vulnerabilities at runtime.
