About smithers

Smithers Agent workflows you can watch live, rewind, fork, and replay. Tell your coding agent to do real, multi-step work, then Smithers runs it for minutes or days: watch every step live, gate the risky ones behind human approvals, and rewind, fork, or replay any run. The same workflow runs across Claude Code, Codex, Pi, AI SDK models, and remote sandboxes. Time travel: fork a run from any earlier frame and branch an alternate timeline. Every step is a database row, so live watching, rewind, and replay are built in. What you get ⏪ Full observability and time travel: watch every step live, then rewind, fork, or replay any run from any point. 🛡️ Durable runs that survive crashes: every completed step is persisted the moment it finishes, so a r

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.
