How to install ralphy

npm install -g ralphy-cli
git clone https://github.com/michaelshimeles/ralphy.git

Taken from the project's README on GitHub. Check the security audit before running it.

Security audit verdict: SAFE · quality 73/100

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. Full audit →

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.

🧪 Tested by Agent Skills Hub

One of 14 tools we ran end to end on the same task for our Open-Source Vibe Coding Tools page (2026-10-27).

Result: one-sentence page: 4 of 4 checks · family ledger: 8 of 8 · opens by double-click · never stopped to ask · 12.7 + 14.1 min, 2.4× the usage of no tool

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.
