How to install tau

npm install -g @abdoknbgit/tau

Taken from the project's README on GitHub.

Security audit verdict: SAFE · quality 68/100

None of the 42 rules matched — no credential harvesting, no data exfiltration, no curl-pipe-shell installer. Scanned against 42 published rules built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, refreshed every 8 hours.

The quality score combines nine heuristic checks of the repo and its README: completeness, clarity, specificity, examples, structure, agent readiness, step-by-step content, instruction quality and security notes. It rates how well the project explains itself to an agent, not the code.

About tau

Tau The Best Free Coding Agent What is Tau? Tau has become the best free coding agent — a single tool that fuses the Claude Code and OpenCode ecosystems into one mixed agentic environment. You get the strongest parts of both agents, plus new features and optimizations layered on top. Native adapters for 24 providers. Not a proxy, not a wrapper around someone else's wrapper.

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy: 42 published rules, covering credential harvesting, data exfiltration, curl | sh installers and more. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
