Getting Started Setting Up Amazon Q Follow the official guide to install Amazon Q CLI Set up your AWS credentials Make sure it's working: Clone repo and run it bash git clone https://github.com/eugeneyan/news-agents.git cd news-agents uv sync # Sync dependencies uv tree # Check httpx and mcp[cli] are installed q chat --trust-all-tools # Start Q /context add --global context/agents.md # Add system context for multi-agents Q, read context/main-agent.md and spin up sub agents to e

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.
