agentscan docs
agentscan 1.4.0 audits agent configuration on disk — 103 checks. Scans are read-only and never open a network connection. Spec-required checks cite a published spec line; heuristics stay at info and are labeled. Full behavior lives in the README.
Quickstart
Run against any project. It reads that project, writes nothing, and never leaves your machine.
npx
cd ~/your-project npx @chimix/agentscan@latest # or explicitly: npx @chimix/agentscan check
bunx
bunx --bun @chimix/agentscan # or after install: bun add -d @chimix/agentscan bunx agentscan check
From a checkout
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/SimaAlexandru99/agentscan cd agentscan && bun install bun run src/cli.ts check ~/your-project
The package is scoped @chimix/agentscan because npm rejects the bare name. The command you type stays agentscan.
Flags for check
| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| --json | JSON report (alias for --output json) |
| --output <format> | human (default) · json · prompt |
| --copy | Also copy the report to the system clipboard |
| --no-color | Never colour, even on a terminal (NO_COLOR=1 does the same) |
| --quiet | Summary line only |
| --verbose | Show KEEP + info-severity findings, and print each finding's id |
| --fail-on <level> | never (default) · warning · error |
| --fail-under <0-100> | Fail when the score drops below this floor |
| --global | Also scan ~/.claude/skills, ~/.codex/skills, ~/.commandcode/skills, and ~/.agents/skills |
| --config <path> | Config file path |
v1 does not write the tree — no apply, no skill delete/install. Findings may suggest shell commands; you run them yourself.
Skill
Agents forget the audit. Copy skills/agentscan into the project so they run it before editing hooks or claiming a guard is on.
cp -R skills/agentscan .cursor/skills/agentscan # or: .agents/skills/agentscan # or: .claude/skills/agentscan
When
- Hook, skill, MCP, or AGENTS.md work
- Someone says a guard is on and you have not verified the script
- A PR touches
.claude/,.agents/,.mcp.json, orskills-lock.json
Do
From the repo root. Findings are facts. Do not skip claude.hook.missing-script (error).
npx @chimix/agentscan@latest --output prompt
No project handy — demo builds a throwaway fixture, prints the report, and deletes it:
npx @chimix/agentscan@latest demo
Don't
- Write the scanned tree
- Guess with the model whether a hook is valid
- Compare a skill's frontmatter
nameto its directory, or validate model ids
CI
The Action runs from its own checkout, so it uses the ref you pin rather than whatever is on npm:
- uses: SimaAlexandru99/agentscan@v1
with:
fail-on: error # never | warning | error
output: human # human | json | promptOr run it directly:
- name: agentscan run: bunx agentscan check --fail-on error
Default failOn is never so local runs stay non-blocking until you opt in.
