About capka

Capka 🐾 Hi — I'm building Capka because I couldn't find a decent open-source web UI that treats AI as a real agent, not just a chatbot. Think of it as an open-source, self-hosted take on Claude's Cowork — an agent with its own computer, not a chat box. Most AI UIs are thin wrappers around an API. Capka gives every user and every chat its own isolated Linux sandbox: the agent accepts files, writes and runs code, scrapes the web, converts documents, and uses MCP connectors — safely, in its own container, behind your own API keys. 🌐 Try the live demo → capka.yuri.ly — poke around a running instance before you host your own. 💡 What's in the name? Capka (say [tsap-ka] — or just "cap-ka", I won't mind) comes from the Ukrainian цап-царап, the quick swipe of a cat's claws — yep, that's the logo. I liked the picture: an agent that grabs your files and digs right into them. Why I built this The internet is flooded with weekend-project chat apps that look generic, choke on real tasks, or leak raw JSON errors at users. I wanted a runtime I could h

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. 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.
