BriefGPT BriefGPT is a powerful, locally-run tool for document summarization and querying using OpenAI's models. You retain control over your documents and API keys, ensuring privacy and security. Update Added support for fully local use! Instructor is used to embed documents, and the LLM can be either LlamaCpp or GPT4ALL, ggml formatted. Put your model in the 'models' folder, set up your environmental variables (model type and path), and run to get started. Tested with the following models: Llama, GPT4ALL. Please note this is experimental - it will be significantly slower and the quality may vary. PR's welcome! Example (using the "Sparks of AGI" paper, sped up) Setup Clone the repository Download all requirements Set your API key in test.env Navigate to the project directory and run Add your PDF's or .txt's to the documents folder in the project directory If using epubs, ensure you have pandoc installed and added to PATH How it works Chat Creating and saving embeddings - once you load a file, it is broken into chunks and stored as a FAISS index in the 'embeddings' folder. These embeddings will be used if you load the document into the chat again. 2.

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.
