Confidence Score: 4/5

**[Low impact]** The PR changes README guidance\, not how Strix or its callers run\. The documentation\-only PR appears safe to merge, with non\-blocking corrections to the diff example and skills catalogue.

**Diff example cannot start** ▶ 2.

**Skills catalogue does not match** ▶

Fix with agent prompt

```markdown ### Issue 1 README.md:306 `--scan-mode` accepts only `quick`, `standard`, and `deep`, so copying this example gives an argument error instead of a scan. Use `--scope-mode diff` here, and describe Diff as a scope option rather than a fourth scan mode. Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time! ### Issue 2 README.md:214 The new catalogue overstates the shipped library and includes incorrect examples: - It claims `100+` skills, but there are 75 skill files, of which 65 are user-selectable. - `webhooks` does not exist, so the loader skips requests for it. - `semantic_confusion` belongs under Vulnerabilities, not Custom. Update the count and examples to match the bundled files. --- For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly. ```

Summary

Expands `README.md` with local and cloud workflows, a skills catalogue, scan examples, and documentation links. - The README now walks readers through Strix Cloud scans and source uploads. - The README now shows how to start and manage local scans. - The README now maps Strix security coverage, skills, and scan modes. - Readers can now jump from the README to focused Strix guides. - The README’s existing wording and headings read more cleanly without changing scan behavior. _{Reviews (1) · Last reviewed commit: ["fix(readme): correct apostrophe usage an..."](https://github.com/usestrix/strix/commit/d2a830ee9c0e25966e6908dbcbe0e8b5cf2fa1c0) · [Reviewed by Greptile](https://www.greptile.com/?utm_source=greptile_review&utm_medium=github&utm_campaign=review_public&utm_content=usestrix/strix)} 7b:T33ad,# README.md Modification Review ## Overview The `README.md` was completely rewritten in a single update.
