How to install zer0dex

pip install zer0dex
git clone https://github.com/hermes-labs-ai/zer0dex.git

Security audit verdict: SAFE · quality 67/100

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 zer0dex

zer0dex Give a long-running agent local recall without forcing every detail into its prompt: pairs a small, human-readable memory index with semantic retrieval from a local vector store. 0.1.0 is the first supported developer-preview line. The project remains Alpha: expect refinement, but migration notes will precede documented breaking changes during the 0.1.x line. See the compatibility policy.

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.
