Better Agents Better Agents is a CLI tool and a set of standards for agent building. It supercharges your coding assistant (Kilocode, Claude Code, Cursor, etc), making it an expert in any agent framework you choose (Agno, Mastra, LangGraph etc) and all their best practices. It's the best way to start any new agent project. The Better Agent Structure and generated AGENTS.md ensures industry best practices, making your agent ready for production: Scenario agent tests written for every feature to ensure agent behaviour Versioning of the prompts for collaboration Evaluation notebooks for measuring specific prompts performance Already instrumented for full observability Standardization of structure for better project maintainability The Better Agent Structure my-agent-project/ ├── app/ (or src/) # The actual agent code, according to the chosen framework ├── tests/ │ ├── evaluations/ # Jupyter notebooks for evaluations │ │ └── exampleeval.ipynb │ └── scenarios/ # End-to-end scenario tests │ └── examplescenario.test.{py,ts} ├── prompts/ # Versioned prompt files for team collaboration │ └── samp

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.
