Strong
Strong on every check. No grade is a guarantee, so only install what you need.
The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond.
What should I do?
It's widely used, looked after, open about itself, and shows none of the malware tricks we check for. Download it only from its official GitHub page, never from a copy, a file-sharing site or a link in a video.
Warning signs 0
None found
We didn't find any of the common malware tricks.
Talks to your AI 15
This repo has 15 files that AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot read as instructions when you open the folder: .mcp.json, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursor/rules/common-git-workflow.md, .cursor/rules/common-development-workflow.md, .cursor/rules/common-hooks.md, .claude/commands/add-language-rules.md, .claude/rules/node.md, .claude/commands/feature-development.md, .cursor/rules/common-performance.md, .cursor/rules/common-coding-style.md, .cursor/rules/common-agents.md, .claude/rules/ecc-guardrails.md, .claude/commands/database-migration.md, .cursor/rules/common-patterns.md. We read them and found nothing that tries to take over your AI. It's still worth opening them yourself before you let an AI work in this folder.
Does it cost money?
Its page mentions “subscription”. The code here may be free, but some features or the service it connects to may cost money. Check their pricing page before you rely on it.
Why this grade?
It scored 97 out of 100. 85 or more is an A. Each area gets its own letter, and the overall grade can be at most one letter better than the weakest safety area ("Is it open about itself?" only costs points). Open a row to see what we checked.
Area grade ADo people trust it?, 30 out of 30 points
Good: Stars. 290,421 people starred it.
Stars are like bookmarks. Malware repos rarely have many real users, and lots of stars means lots of people have looked at it. Stars can be bought, so we also check how fast they came.
Good: Forks. 43,022 copies made by other developers.
A fork is a copy another developer made to build on. Real projects get copied; fake ones rarely do.
Good: Owner history. Account created 3.7 years ago.
Scammers use brand-new accounts that get banned and replaced. An owner who has been around for years has more to lose.
Area grade AIs anyone looking after it?, 22 out of 25 points
Good: Recent updates. Last change 1 days ago.
Software nobody updates stops getting security fixes.
Good: Track record. Repo is 283 days old.
Older projects have had more time for problems to be spotted and reported.
Good: Releases. Publishes versioned releases.
A release is an official, finished version. Without one, you download whatever is in the code that day.
Area grade AIs it open about itself?, 15 out of 15 points
Good: License. Uses the MIT license.
A license says whether you're allowed to use it. Serious projects almost always have one.
Good: Instructions. Has a README that explains the project.
A README explains what the project does and how to use it. Malware often has a thin or copied one.
Good: Security contact. Tells people how to report security problems.
A security policy tells people how to report problems privately, so they get fixed before attackers use them.
Area grade ADoes it have good security habits?, 5 out of 5 points
Good: Known security holes. None of the 10 parts it uses has a known security hole.
Security holes that are public but not fixed yet are what attackers look for first. From OpenSSF Scorecard, or, when it has no data, from the project's list of parts (its lock file) looked up in OSV, Google's free public database of known security holes.
Area grade AAny malware tricks?, 30 out of 30 points
Good: No warning signs found. We didn't find any of the common malware tricks.
We look for tricks that keep showing up in malware: requests to turn off antivirus, locked zip files, cracks and free premium, hidden code, and AI instruction files that try to take over your assistant. Serious ones cap the grade, however popular the repo is.
