# Do coding agents recommend Aikido Security? > Aikido Security was chosen in 8% of 118 judged security platforms sessions, ranking fourth. Measured with Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build CLI and Muse Code. Source: https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-aikido-security Published: 2026-09-28 · Updated: 2026-09-30 Publisher: Armature, Inc. (https://armature.tech) --- > Aikido Security was chosen in 8% of 118 judged security platforms sessions, ranking fourth. It was also raised as a candidate in 22 further sessions without being chosen. This page reports what happened when Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build CLI and Muse Code had to solve a problem in security platforms inside a realistic codebase. Not what a chat assistant says about Aikido Security. What an agent actually chose. ## The numbers | | | | --- | --- | | Category | Security platforms | | Sessions in the category | 118 | | Sessions where Aikido Security was chosen | 9 | | Install share | 8% | | Rank in category | 4 of 19 | | Codebases it won in | 3 | | Raised as a candidate, not chosen | 22 | | Chosen when considered | 29% | | Site | aikido.dev | ## By agent With 9 wins spread across 4 agents, the rates below are small numbers and a difference between them is not yet a finding. They are here because the direction is worth knowing, not because the gap is established. | Agent | Sessions | Chose Aikido Security | Share | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Claude Code | 30 | 3 | 10% | | Codex | 30 | 1 | 3% | | Grok Build CLI | 30 | 5 | 17% | | Muse Code | 28 | 0 | 0% | ## What Aikido Security was up against The full ranking in security platforms, from the same sessions: | # | Product | Runs won | Share | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Checkmarx One | 39 | 33% | | 2 | GitLab Security | 22 | 19% | | 3 | Snyk | 19 | 16% | | 4 | Aikido Security **(this page)** | 9 | 8% | | 5 | HCL AppScan | 5 | 4% | | 6 | GitHub Advanced Security + ZAP | 4 | 3% | | 7 | GitHub Advanced Security + Microsoft Defender for Cloud | 3 | 3% | | 8 | DefectDojo + Gitleaks + Semgrep + Trivy + ZAP | 3 | 3% | ## What this means Aikido Security was raised in 22 sessions and chosen in 9. That ratio is balanced enough that the ceiling is presence rather than integration: the product converts reasonably when it is on the table, and it is not on the table often enough. ## Where these numbers come from The 118 sessions in security platforms are part of a published set of 15,000, run with real coding agents inside realistic codebases and judged blind. The full method is on one page: [how we measured this](/library/how-we-measured-this). Every security platforms run can be replayed on [the board](/leaderboards/security-platforms). If you work on Aikido Security: the judge recorded a reason for every session where it was raised and passed over. Those reasons are in the transcripts. ## Common questions ### Do coding agents recommend Aikido Security? Yes. Aikido Security was chosen in 9 of the 118 judged sessions in security platforms, a 8% install share, ranking fourth in its category. ### Does Claude Code recommend Aikido Security? In 3 of the 30 sessions in security platforms run with Claude Code, which is 10%. ### Do different coding agents treat Aikido Security differently? Yes, and by a wide margin. Grok Build CLI chose it in 17% of its runs and Codex in 3%. ### How was this measured? Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 92 realistic codebases and asked to solve real tasks. A simulated project owner approved or questioned each recommendation before any code was written, and a judge from a model family that builds none of the agents read every session blind. ### How often is Aikido Security considered but not chosen? It was raised as a candidate in 22 sessions without being chosen, and chosen in 9. That is a 29% conversion from considered to chosen. ## Read next - [How to get picked for security platforms by coding agents](https://armature.tech/library/security-platforms-coding-agents-playbook) (Markdown: https://armature.tech/library/security-platforms-coding-agents-playbook.md) - [Do coding agents recommend Checkmarx One?](https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-checkmarx-one) (Markdown: https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-checkmarx-one.md) - [Do coding agents recommend GitLab Security?](https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-gitlab-security) (Markdown: https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-gitlab-security.md) - [Do Claude Code, Codex and Cursor pick the same tools?](https://armature.tech/library/do-claude-code-and-codex-agree) (Markdown: https://armature.tech/library/do-claude-code-and-codex-agree.md) --- Armature helps software products get discovered and used by coding agents.
