+## Strix Overview
Strix are autonomous AI agents that act just like real hackers - they run your code dynamically, find vulnerabilities, and validate them through actual proof-of-concepts. Built for developers and security teams who need fast, accurate security testing without the overhead of manual pentesting or the false positives of static analysis tools.
**Key Capabilities:**
-- 🔧 **Full hacker toolkit** out of the box
-- 🤝 **Teams of agents** that collaborate and scale
-- ✅ **Real validation** with PoCs, not false positives
-- 💻 **Developer‑first** CLI with actionable reports
-- 🔄 **Auto‑fix & reporting** to accelerate remediation
