About hwatu

hwatu Your agents are blind without hwatu hwatu is a visual verification harness for coding agents, built as a WebKit daemon. Instead of "looks right to me", your agent gets one-call verified page checks in 35 ms, pixel-diff scores it can climb, animations as numbers, and headless windows that never steal your focus, at any parallelism. For human-in-the-loop tasks (e.g. Captcha), hwatu features a lightweight visual verification frontend renderer written in WebKit and a caller function. For tiling WMs (Hyprland, sway, niri, i3), hwatu is intended to replace your primary daily browser. Our current goal is to provide scrolling short-form content experience in mobile-level framerate.

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.
