serf: A non-interactive coding agent: give it a prompt and it reads, writes, runs commands, and searches code

Security audit verdict: SAFE · quality 69/100

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 serf

Serf A non-interactive coding agent. Give it a prompt, it does the work. Serf uses the LLM's native tool-calling to read files, write files, run commands, and search code in a loop until the work is complete. It supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models. For how the code is organized — modules, layout, and the build workspace — see docs/architecture.md.

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.
