## Description

Strix is an automated security research and vulnerability scanning platform that leverages language models to orchestrate complex security analysis tasks. It functions as a comprehensive framework for penetration testing and continuous security integration, allowing users to embed automated vulnerability research directly into development pipelines or execute it within isolated, containerized environments.

The platform distinguishes itself through a multi-agent orchestration engine that coordinates specialized autonomous agents to perform parallel security assessments. By integrating LLM-agnostic routing, it supports a wide range of local and cloud-based model providers, enabling users to tailor analysis depth and reasoning capabilities to their specific security requirements. This orchestration is complemented by the ability to inject structured knowledge packages into agents, allowing for highly targeted vulnerability research and customized testing methodologies.

The system provides a broad capability surface that combines static code analysis with dynamic runtime testing. It includes integrated headless browser automation for simulating user behavior, proxy-based traffic interception for inspecting and replaying network communication, and infrastructure mapping tools for reconnaissance. These features are unified within a sandboxed environment that supports custom script execution, terminal access, and real-time telemetry export for auditing and reporting.

The project is designed for integration into existing development workflows, offering features like incremental codebase analysis, secret detection, and pipeline-native exit code reporting. It provides a centralized interface for managing scan intensity, authenticated testing, and the generation of structured security reports with proof-of-concept evidence.
