About bocoel

🫙 Archive This has topped the show HN front page link. This was born as a research project, and I think I have achieved most of what I set out to create. So today (2025/09/14) I'm archiving this repository. Nowadays I'm mainly working on , a deep learning algorithm compiler!

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.
