HAWKNET DOCS

Hawknet

Hawknet connects your AI coding assistant to Roblox Studio. It lets AI read, write, and control everything inside Studio in real time — scripts, instances, properties, datastores, assets, and playtesting.

You talk to your AI assistant. Your AI uses Hawknet to do the work. You never interact with Hawknet directly. It runs in the background, invisible, handling the connection between your AI and Studio.

How It Works

Hawknet has two parts: a small program that runs on your computer (the daemon) and a plugin inside Roblox Studio.

When your AI assistant needs to do something in Studio — write a script, create a part, run a playtest — it sends a request to the Hawknet daemon. The daemon forwards that request to the plugin inside Studio, which carries it out. Results flow back the same way.

The whole loop happens in real time. Your AI sees exactly what Studio sees, and changes appear in Studio the moment the AI makes them.

You can undo any change the AI makes with Ctrl+Z in Studio, just like any other edit.

What You Can Do

With Hawknet connected, your AI assistant can:

  • Write and edit Luau scripts directly inside Studio, with full type checking and linting
  • Build worlds by creating, moving, cloning, and arranging instances in the DataModel
  • Set properties on any instance — position, color, size, materials, anything
  • Run code in Studio’s command bar or through Roblox Open Cloud
  • Playtest your game and interact with it while it runs
  • Manage datastores to read and write player data
  • Import and export assets like models, images, and audio
  • Sync files between your local project and Studio
  • Search and explore the full DataModel hierarchy
  • Handle monetization — game passes, developer products, subscriptions

Everything happens through natural conversation. Ask your AI to “make the lobby spawn point taller” or “add a leaderboard script to ServerScriptService” and it handles the rest.

Supported AI Tools

Hawknet currently supports these AI tools:

  • Claude Code — Anthropic’s CLI coding assistant
  • Claude Desktop — Anthropic’s desktop app
  • Cursor — AI-first code editor
  • Codex CLI — OpenAI’s terminal agent
  • OpenCode — Open-source AI coding tool
  • Google Antigravity — Google’s AI coding assistant

Good to Know

  • Auto-updates. Hawknet keeps itself up to date. You do not need to manually install new versions.
  • Connection status. The Studio plugin shows whether Hawknet is connected in a small dock widget. If something goes wrong, click “Reset Hawknet” in the plugin toolbar.
  • Local connection. Hawknet manages the daemon and Studio plugin connection for you. Most setups should not need any manual network changes.
  • Undo works. Every change the AI makes through Hawknet can be undone with Ctrl+Z in Studio.
