The agent that defends what it builds.
No Docker. No yak-shaving. Just pip install lyrie-agent or one curl pipe and you're scanning.
Lyrie is not just another AI assistant. It runs your operations and protects them in the same loop — every layer carries the Lyrie Shield, every patch passes the Shield Doctrine, every finding earns its severity through Lyrie Stages A–F.

Every AI agent platform treats security as an afterthought. Lyrie treats it as the foundation — and ships the receipts. Every advisory we publish on research.lyrie.ai is backed by a reproducible exploit lab and detection rules in this repo.
Cybersecurity isn't a plugin — it's Layer 1.
Highlights (current main, v0.3.0+)
- 🛡️ The Shield Doctrine — every layer of Lyrie that touches untrusted text passes a Shield gate. (
docs/shield-doctrine.md) - 🔍 Lyrie Attack-Surface Mapper (
/understand) — maps entry points, trust boundaries, tainted data flows, and ranked risk hotspots before any scanner runs. - 🧪 Lyrie Stages A–F Validator — every finding earns its severity through six validation gates. Auto-PoCs for confirmed vulns. Auto-remediation summaries. Kills false positives at the source.
- 🌐 Lyrie Multi-Language Vulnerability Scanners — 8 purpose-built scanners (JS / TS / Python / Go / PHP / Ruby / C / C++) with 53 Lyrie-original detection rules covering OWASP Top 10 + CWE classics.
- 📡 Lyrie Threat-Intel feed — every PR finding auto-attributed against research.lyrie.ai, CISA-KEV-aligned, with Lyrie Verdict surfaced inline. Bumps severity to critical when KEV-listed.
- 🔍 Lyrie HTTP Proxy — capture, classify, replay, and fuzz HTTP exchanges. 9 security-signal detectors (missing security headers, weak cookie flags, open CORS, secrets in responses, GraphQL introspection, auth tokens in URLs, verbose 5xx errors, and more). 7 structured mutators for replay-based testing.
- 🆓 Lyrie OSS-Scan service — free public scan at
research.lyrie.ai/scan. Submit any GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket / Codeberg repo URL, get a Lyrie report (Mapper + Scanners + Stages A–F + auto-PoC) in seconds. - 🚀 Lyrie Pentest GitHub Action — Shield-scans every PR, posts a single-comment-per-PR Markdown summary, uploads SARIF to Code Scanning, blocks merges on
fail-onthreshold. - 🧠 FTS5 cross-session memory — bm25-ranked recall + LLM-summarized session digests, every snippet Shield-gated.
- ✏️ Diff-view edits with approval gates —
apply_diffproduces unified diffs, never overwrites whole files; Shield scans every patch before it touches disk. - 🔌 MCP adapter (
@lyrie/mcp) — Lyrie speaks fluent Model Context Protocol both as client and server. - 🚪 DM pairing — unknown senders can't reach the agent without operator approval. Three modes:
open/pairing/closed. - 🩺
lyrie doctor— read-only environment, channel, and security self-diagnostic with--jsonfor CI.

The headline: OpenClaw and Hermes are great agents. Claude Code and opencode are great coding assistants. None of them was built to defend you while it works. Lyrie is. Cybersecurity isn't a plugin — it's Layer 1.
Lyrie also competes head-to-head with the AI-pentest crowd. Here we trade ecosystem maturity for depth + Shield Doctrine + reproducibility:

Lyrie ships a multi-channel gateway so the agent reaches you on whatever your team already uses — not just Slack-or-die.

Every channel implements the same ChannelBot contract — unified UnifiedMessage in, unified UnifiedResponse out. Same Shield Doctrine, same DM-pairing policy, same engine.
Lyrie scans run somewhere. Pick where:
| Backend | When | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Local (default) | Caller has Bun + repo | zero config |
| Daytona | Ephemeral devboxes / sandboxed PR scans | DAYTONA_API_KEY |
| Modal | Pay-per-second serverless burst | MODAL_TOKEN_ID + MODAL_TOKEN_SECRET |
Switch at runtime:
LYRIE_BACKEND=modal bun run action/runner.ts # serverless
LYRIE_BACKEND=daytona bun run action/runner.ts # Daytona devbox
LYRIE_BACKEND=local bun run action/runner.ts # default — hostInspect what's wired up:
bun run backend status # which backend resolves & is configured
bun run backend list # all 3, side-by-side
bun run backend show modal # config + env vars detected
bun run backend preflight # cheap auth/connectivity checkDeployment recipes (Modal Python function + Daytona devcontainer): deploy/.
Same contract everywhere. Every backend returns the same BackendRunResult shape — same SARIF, same Markdown, same Shield Doctrine — different host. No Docker. No vendor lock-in.

The Shield is not a wrapper. It runs underneath every other layer.
Every Lyrie surface that touches untrusted text passes a Shield gate. No exceptions, no carve-outs.

Model-agnostic. Lyrie routes per task class automatically:
| Tier | Default model | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Brain | Claude Opus 4.7 | Strategy, complex reasoning |
| Coder | GPT-5.5 / GPT-5.4-Codex | Code generation, refactors |
| Reasoning | o4-mini | Step-by-step deliberation |

| Bulk | MiniMax-M2.7-HS | Mass content, parallel batches |
| Local | Qwen / Gemma / Llama-local | Private, self-hosted |
Bring any model — Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, MiniMax, Ollama, or your own endpoint. No lock-in.
Telegram · WhatsApp · Discord · Slack · Signal · iMessage · CLI · Webchat — connect Lyrie to wherever you already work. DM pairing on by default for production deployments.
