That MCP server with 500 downloads. The Claude Code skill someone linked in Discord. The ClawHub extension your OpenClaw agent auto-installed. The npm package Cursor added to your lockfile. The Codex plugin you grabbed from GitHub.
Did you vet any of them?
Nobody does. The vetting step doesn't exist. 1,184 malicious skills found on ClawHub in one campaign. Snyk ToxicSkills research shows 36.8% of agent skills have security flaws. You find something useful, you install it. It runs with your credentials, your file access, your session context. If it's designed to exfiltrate data, it does it quietly while you're using it for something else entirely.
You won't feel it. There are no symptoms.
Repo Forensics is the vetting step. Audit any repo, skill, MCP server, or plugin before it touches your machine. Works across the AI agent ecosystem: Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor, NanoClaw, or anything that installs third-party code. 19 scanners, runtime behavior prediction, ClawHavoc campaign detection. Nothing phones home. Runs in seconds.
It doesn't stop at install. Every git pull, npm update, gem update, brew upgrade, and plugin update is monitored too. Known-malicious packages are blocked before the command even runs. A clean install today doesn't mean a clean update tomorrow — repo-forensics watches both.
Already installed something you're not sure about? Run it on your existing projects too. The post-incident scanner checks npm cache, install logs, node_modules, and your machine for traces of known supply chain attacks (axios RAT, liteLLM .pth injection, SANDWORM campaign) even after the malware has cleaned up after itself.

VERDICT: 31 findings (12 critical, 11 high, 6 medium, 2 low)
EXIT CODE: 2 — do not install
How It Works
Point it at any repository. 19 scanners run in parallel, each checking a different attack surface. The correlation engine then cross-references findings across 27 rules to detect compound threats that no single scanner would catch (like dynamic import + network fetch = deferred payload loading).
The result is a severity-ranked verdict with exit codes designed for CI/CD gating.
