How to install labrat

claude plugin install labrat@labrat
git clone https://github.com/fcakyon/labrat ~/.labrat

Taken from the project's README on GitHub.

Security audit verdict: SAFE · quality 66/100

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 labrat

Lab Rat Lab Rat teaches your AI coding agent to work like a careful ML researcher: reproduce papers, launch and compare runs at the same epoch, and check every claim before it costs you weeks of compute. Built by Fatih Cagatay Akyon (2000+ citations, 5 patents) from 2200+ Claude Code and Codex sessions. Every guardrail traces to a real mistake. Install Claude Code Update with .

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.
