About scalex

Grep knows text. Scalex knows Scala. Think grep, but it understands Scala's AST — so it finds symbols, not just strings. Table of Contents Why Scalex? The Problem Design Principles How It Works Quick Start Usage Examples Commands What Makes It Coding-Agent-Friendly Scalex vs Grep — Honest Comparison Scalex vs Metals Credits Name Mascot License Why Scalex? No build server. Nothing to leak. No daemon, no background process, no socket. No build server silently eating RAM, leaking threads, or grinding your CPU. The index is a single file in your repo — when scalex exits, nothing is left running. See how it works. Zero setup. Just works. Install the skill, point it at any git repo, start navigating. No build files, no config, no "import build" dialog, no "connectin

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.
