Cantina is an open substrate: your team can build its own security agents and skills on top of the platform, not just use the ones that ship by default.

​
What you can build

  • Agents that carry out security work in your environment, within guardrails your team controls.
  • Skills: reusable, versioned playbooks that teach an agent how to handle a class of task to a known standard.

​
How it works

Agents run against governed, human-readable playbooks. A skill declares exactly which actions an agent may take, so capability, permission, and audit live in one place. You decide the level of autonomy, and every action is logged.

​
Why build your own

Out-of-the-box agents cover common work, but every environment has workflows specific to it. Building your own lets a lean team encode its expertise once and run it repeatedly, instead of doing the same work by hand. Start from a template, customize its skills and the tools it can use, and put it into production when you are ready.
