Optimize

skill

Analyze a codebase and produce an optimal HawkScan setup — tech flags, scan-policy plugin selection, and stackhawk.yml corrections — then apply it as a non-destructive trial, run ONE trial scan, and promote or discard. Use when the user asks to "optimize my scan", "tune HawkScan", "make my scan faster", "reduce false positives", "pick the right plugins/policy for my app", or invokes /optimize. Also invoked automatically by the hawkscan skill once at onboarding to set up the scan policy + tech flags (Setup mode), and re-runnable anytime via /optimize; the metrics Refine mode is surfaced when a scan is slow. …

Security audit

Not scanned yet. We audit npm-published capabilities for known advisories, install-time scripts and permission surface; this one has no npm package we can resolve, or has not reached the queue.

Its own instructions

Its SKILL.md says when to use it and covers setup.

Read from the capability’s own SKILL.md. This is not a grade and does not compare to the instruction-depth verdict on an MCP server — a skill has no tools to document, so that rubric does not apply to it.
