stackhawk-data-seed

stackhawk-data-seed is a skill for Claude Code from stackhawk/agent-skills. It costs 159 tokens per session (2,427 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for preparing checked-in test data so authenticated HawkScan security scans can reach meaningful application paths. HawkScan is a security scanner, and seed data is sample data placed in an application for testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running the seed preflight, creating a manifest of required sample data, validating it, and finalizing reproducible files under data-seed/. It does not run the application or configure HawkScan itself.
Why use it?
A scan may miss authenticated routes when the application has no suitable records to work with. This workflow designs and validates the smallest seed-data set based on the repository's detected storage and services.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

stackhawk-data-seed scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 189 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

StackHawk Data Seed Skill

This skill produces checked-in, reproducible seed-data artifacts for a target repo so authenticated HawkScan finds non-empty results. The hawk perch seed command provides the deterministic steps — a static repo pre-flight (storage + upstream detection), a manifest validator, and an artifact finalizer. This skill supplies the reasoning between them: it reads the pre-flight's digest and designs the minimum seed manifest. It works the same across every agent that can run a subprocess and read its output.

It does NOT run the artifacts, start the environment, or write stackhawk.yml — those belong to the human, the user's tooling, and the hawkscan skill respectively.


When to Run

Invoke explicitly when:

  • User says "set up data for HawkScan" / "seed this repo" / "my scan has no data to hit."
  • Configuring HawkScan against a repo for the first time and the app needs authenticated routes to scan.
  • A previous data-seed/ exists but the data shape changed (new entity types, new upstream service).

Do NOT run autonomously after code changes — this is a setup tool, not a per-commit safety net.


Phase 0: Preflight

0.1 — Confirm working directory

The user must invoke from inside the target repo (the repo HawkScan will scan):

test -d .git || echo "NOT-A-REPO"
pwd

If not a git repo, ask the user to cd to the target repo and re-invoke.

0.2 — Confirm hawk supports the seed flow (capability gate)

This skill drives the caller-driven hawk perch seed subcommands (validate and finalize). Probe for them directly:

# Identify the driving skill for CLI usage telemetry (read by hawk/hawkop).
export _STACKHAWK_SKILL=stackhawk-data-seed
if hawk perch seed validate --help >/dev/null 2>&1 && hawk perch seed finalize --help >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "SEED-FLOW-OK"
else
  echo "SEED-FLOW-UNSUPPORTED"
fi
hawk version 2>/dev/null || hawk --version 2>/dev/null   # for the message only; never gates
