GitHub Actions

Integrate Strix into your GitHub workflow to catch vulnerabilities before they reach production.

Basic Workflow

.github/workflows/security.yml

name: Security Scan

on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  strix-scan:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - name: Install Strix
        run: curl -sSL https://strix.ai/install | bash

      - name: Run Security Scan
        env:
          STRIX_LLM: ${{ secrets.STRIX_LLM }}
          LLM_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.LLM_API_KEY }}
        run: strix -n -t ./ --scan-mode quick

Required Secrets

Add these secrets to your repository:

Secret	Description
`STRIX_LLM`	Model name (e.g., `openai/gpt-5.4`)
`LLM_API_KEY`	API key for your LLM provider

Exit Codes

The workflow fails when vulnerabilities are found:

Code	Result
0	Pass — No vulnerabilities
2	Fail — Vulnerabilities found

Scan Modes for CI

Mode	Duration	Use Case
`quick`	Minutes	Every PR
`standard`	~30 min	Nightly builds
`deep`	1-4 hours	Release candidates

Use quick mode for PRs to keep feedback fast. Schedule deep scans nightly.

For pull_request workflows, Strix automatically uses changed-files diff-scope in CI/headless runs. If diff resolution fails, ensure full history is fetched (fetch-depth: 0) or set --diff-base.
