#### Use the managed platform: `strix cloud`
The `strix cloud` commands drive the managed platform ([app.strix.ai](https://app.strix.ai)) from the terminal. Sign in once with the device flow. The sign-in creates your account and workspace on first use and stores a personal API token in `~/.strix/platform-auth.json`:
Run scans on [app.strix.ai](https://app.strix.ai) from the terminal, without Docker or an LLM key:
```bash
strix cloud login # browser approval, then workspace + scope profile
strix cloud login --workspace "My Team" # select a workspace by name or ID
strix cloud whoami # fast local account/workspace status
strix cloud session # verify remote session + consent ceiling
strix cloud logout # revoke remotely, then remove locally
```
The default **Recommended** scope preset supports normal scan work, local source uploads,
workspace switching, and user-approved credit top-ups. It excludes credential creation;
request `tokens:write` explicitly (or choose Full) when needed. For strict least privilege, pass an explicit list such as
`--scopes scans:read scans:write uploads:write billing:read`. Named automation
profiles are also available with `--scope-profile minimal|recommended|full`.
Every operation of the [REST API](https://docs.app.strix.ai) has a matching command in the form `strix cloud <resource> <verb>`:
```bash
strix cloud # list all resources
strix cloud scans # run the safe default (`scans list`)
strix cloud scans help # list the verbs of a resource
strix cloud domains add --domain example.com --asset-type web_app
strix cloud login # browser sign-in, one credential per install
strix cloud scans start --source . --yes --wait # scan local code, approving the upload
strix cloud scans start --engagement-type live_test --domain-ids <uuid> --wait
strix cloud scans start --source . --dry-run --show-files --json # review + capture source.archive_sha256
SOURCE_SHA256="<reviewed source.archive_sha256>"
strix cloud scans start --source . --approve-sha256 "$SOURCE_SHA256" --wait
strix cloud vulns list --severity critical
strix cloud credits # credit balance
strix cloud billing topup --credits 20 --yes # explicitly approve agent payment after HTTP 402
```
Workspaces and account setup also work from the terminal:
Every [REST API](https://docs.app.strix.ai) operation has a matching `strix cloud <resource> <verb>` command. Run `strix cloud` to list the resources, and add `help` to a resource to list its verbs. Output is JSON when stdout is not a terminal or when you pass `--json`. Binary downloads are the exception: redirect the raw bytes, or combine `--output FILE --json` for download metadata.
```bash
strix cloud workspaces list # numbered list; `workspace` is also accepted
strix cloud workspaces create --name "My Team" # admin + organizations:write
strix cloud workspaces use 2 # switch by list number, exact name, or ID
strix cloud session scopes # granted scopes + login ceiling
strix cloud session scopes set minimal # narrow without another browser sign-in
strix cloud billing subscribe --plan strix_cloud # opens the hosted checkout page
strix cloud billing portal # opens the billing portal
strix cloud integrations install github # opens the app installation page
strix cloud domains verify <domain-id> # prints the DNS record to add
```
The last four commands end at a person. Strix creates the link, opens the browser for an interactive terminal, and always prints the URL. The user enters the card, approves the installation, or adds the DNS record. Pass `--no-browser` to print the URL only.
The commands work for humans and agents: terminal output favors names, branches, lifecycle states, and numbered selectors, while redirected output (or `--json`) preserves complete machine-readable records and IDs. Human lists retain the selectors needed by follow-up commands but omit internal organization/user IDs; a selector too long for the compact table is repeated losslessly in a copyable block. Paginated lists print the next `--page` or `--offset`, and detail views preserve useful prose within a safe terminal bound; use `--json` for the complete record. Token lists distinguish API keys from named CLI device sessions. Binary downloads are the exception: intentionally redirect their raw bytes, or use `--output FILE --json` to write the file and receive structured download metadata. There are no prompts when stdin is not a terminal. Exit codes: `0` success, `1` error, `2` invalid usage, `4` authentication or plan limit, `5` payment required. `--token` and `STRIX_API_TOKEN` are stateless per-command overrides and never replace the stored sign-in; pair a CLI-session override with `--workspace-id` or `STRIX_WORKSPACE_ID`.
A browser sign-in creates one reusable credential per CLI installation. Logging in again on the
same installation replaces its secret instead of accumulating keys. Workspace switches keep that
credential and expiry, preserve the server-side scope preference, cap access by the target role,
and can never exceed the login consent ceiling. Each process pins its starting workspace, so a
concurrent switch fails safely instead of sending a stale command to another organization.
`strix cloud logout` revokes the server session before deleting the local token; use
`--local-only` only when you deliberately cannot reach the server.
Write commands take request fields as flags, and every write command also accepts one JSON object with `--data`:
```bash
strix cloud scans start --data '{"engagement_type":"code_review"}' # literal JSON
strix cloud scans start --data @request.json # read a file
cat request.json | strix cloud scans start --data - # read standard input
```
For an agent or CI local-source scan, run `--dry-run --show-files --json`, review the manifest,
and capture `source.archive_sha256`. Rerun with the same `--source`, every `--exclude`, and any
`--include-*` selection flags, replacing `--dry-run` with `--approve-sha256 HASH`; Strix
rebuilds the archive and refuses to upload it if the digest changed. `--yes` instead approves
only the snapshot built in that one invocation. It is suitable for a deliberate human or
one-shot approval, not as a digest-bound two-step agent/CI handoff.
The safe default honors `.gitignore` and `.strixignore` and excludes hidden paths, secret-like
files, VCS metadata, dependencies/build output, symlinks, and nested archives. Opt in
separately with `--include-hidden`, `--include-sensitive`, or `--include-archives`. The client
caps a bundle at 20,000 files, 25 MiB per file, 250 MiB expanded, and 50 MiB compressed, and
the service independently validates the archive. Source alone infers a code review; adding a
domain infers a live test. You can always pass `--engagement-type` explicitly.
Strix removes the temporary local archive after every invocation. It deletes a staged remote
upload after a definitive scan rejection. If a network error, `5xx` response, malformed
success response, or interruption makes the launch outcome ambiguous, it retains the upload and reports its `upload_id` with
`launch_outcome_unknown: true`; if automatic deletion cannot be confirmed, it reports the ID
with `cleanup_unknown: true`. Check `strix cloud scans list` before retrying. If no scan is
linked to the retained upload, delete it with `strix cloud uploads delete UPLOAD_ID`.
Non-Enterprise scans consume the deterministic estimate shown for their scope (a source-only
code review at the default `ultra` tier currently starts at 60 credits). Enterprise scans are
plan-included and do not consume the credit wallet. Report downloads need Enterprise,
schedules need Pro, and billing writes need an admin token. Plan blocks exit `4`; an
insufficient credit wallet exits `5` without creating or charging a scan.
Enable native tab completion once per shell session:
```bash
source <(strix completions zsh) # use bash instead of zsh when appropriate
strix completions fish | source
```
See the [platform documentation](https://docs.app.strix.ai) for scopes, workspaces, billing, and source-upload options.
