Inspect before install
Analyze instructions, scripts, dependencies, and tool calls as one attack surface—not isolated files.
Longxia scans source and instruction files from public GitHub agent skills before they touch your machine. The scanner never executes repository code.

Supported source and instruction formats
The missing trust layer
A skill is more than code. It is instructions, dependencies, permissions, and live access to your files and accounts. A clean repository can still teach an agent to do something dangerous.
Instructions
Natural-language files can ask an agent to ignore boundaries or hide behavior.
Commands
Install scripts can execute remote payloads, read secrets, or modify broad filesystem locations.
Dependencies
Unpinned packages and downloads can change what eventually reaches the machine.
What the public beta does
Longxia combines instruction and source-pattern checks, then exposes the evidence. It is a narrow pre-install review tool, not runtime protection.
Analyze instructions, scripts, dependencies, and tool calls as one attack surface—not isolated files.
Turn vague manifests into a plain-English map of files, secrets, services, and commands a skill can reach.
See the rule, file, line, source excerpt, severity, and practical remediation behind every finding.

Simple by design
A security decision your developer, IT lead, and founder can make from the same report.
Enter a public GitHub repository, folder, or file URL.
Longxia evaluates code, natural-language instructions, and permissions together.
Use the risk score, capability map, and source evidence to decide what to inspect next.
Zero execution by design
Fetched files are size-limited, parsed as text, and never run or installed by Longxia.
Real public scans
Each case is a point-in-time static scan of a public GitHub source. Open the report to inspect its commit, files, rules, evidence, and remediation.
openai/skills · sentry
The instructions pipe a downloaded installer directly into Bash. Verify the source and checksum before proceeding.
anthropics/skills · webapp-testing
Two Python calls start or run local commands. That may be intentional for testing, but the capability deserves human review.
vercel-labs/agent-skills · web-design-guidelines
This one-file instruction skill triggered no current rules. A pass is a review starting point, never a safety guarantee.
Results describe exact commits and the Longxia ruleset at scan time. A verdict is not a malware classification or endorsement; project names identify public sources only.
Public beta access
The implemented scanner is free while Longxia validates the workflow with real users. There is no checkout or paid plan today.

FAQ
Longxia is early, direct, and transparent about what agent security can—and cannot—do.
The public beta scans supported text files in a public GitHub repository, folder, or file. That includes Markdown instructions, JavaScript and TypeScript, Python, shell and PowerShell, JSON, TOML, YAML, manifests, and common lockfiles.
No. Longxia looks for risky behavior in source and instruction files, so the same scan can help review repositories made for OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another agent. It does not claim full runtime coverage for those platforms.
Not in the current public beta. Longxia accepts only public GitHub URLs and has no account or GitHub authorization flow. Private and local scanning are roadmap items, not available features.
No. Longxia is a rule-based, point-in-time static scan. It can miss malicious behavior and can produce false positives. Use the report as evidence for manual review, sandboxing, least privilege, and other security controls.
