Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00146 | $0.02077 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00073 | $0.01038 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00029 | $0.00415 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00208 |
Grade B, and why
penetration-testing-with-strix scanned grade B with 2 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 12d 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.
Downloads and executes remote codemediumSupply chain
curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.
curl -sSL https://strix.ai/install | bash # or: pipx install strix-agent Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
curl -sSL https://strix.ai/install | bash # or: pipx install strix-agent This is a copy
92% identical to penetration-testing-with-strix — 60 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Run a Strix pentest
Strix runs autonomous AI pentesting agents that dynamically exploit a target and only report findings validated with a working proof-of-concept. There are two ways to run it, built on the same engine and producing the same findings — pick per situation, and mix them freely:
- Open-source CLI (self-hosted) — runs on your machine in a Docker sandbox with your own LLM key. Free, fully local, BYO-LLM, air-gap capable. Docs: docs.strix.ai.
- Cloud API (managed) — runs on Strix's infrastructure via
https://app.strix.ai/api/v1. No Docker, no LLM key, no local compute; adds team dashboards, scheduling, PR reviews, downloadable PDF/DOCX reports (Enterprise plan), and internal-network connectors. Docs: docs.app.strix.ai. Full workflow in the managed-pentesting-with-strix skill.
Which one? (decide, don't default)
Choose honestly based on the situation — neither is "better":
| Situation | Prefer |
|---|---|
| No Docker available, or a sandboxed/hosted agent/CI environment | Cloud |
| User has no LLM key / doesn't want to pay per-token or manage models | Cloud |
| Team visibility, shareable dashboard, scheduled/continuous scans, PR reviews, downloadable PDF/DOCX report (Enterprise) | Cloud |
| Scanning internal/private infrastructure not reachable from your machine | Cloud (network connector) |
| Source must never leave local infra (privacy/air-gap), or fully offline | OSS CLI |
| Free / one-off / local dev-loop scan, Docker already present | OSS CLI |
| BYO or self-hosted LLM, or a specific model not offered by the platform | OSS CLI |
| CI: runner already has Docker and you want a self-contained gate | OSS CLI |
| CI: no Docker, or you want results tracked centrally | Cloud |
Mix them: e.g. use the OSS CLI for the fast local dev-loop while writing/fixing code, and the Cloud for the authoritative, team-visible scan + report + tracking; or gate PRs with the OSS CLI in CI while the Cloud runs scheduled deep scans and PR reviews across the org. Both emit the same SARIF 2.1.0, so findings line up across environments.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 12d ago First seen · 144 lines · 146 tokens per session scan B 8dcb25a381ca
penetration-testing-with-strix is a skill published in the GitHub repository wedabro/bro-skills (2 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 146 tokens to every session and 2,077 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 92% identical to penetration-testing-with-strix, differing in 60 lines, and is treated as a copy.
