lyrie-agent

🛡️ Lyrie Agent

The world's first autonomous AI agent with built-in cybersecurity.

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.

Why Lyrie?

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-on threshold.
• 🧠 FTS5 cross-session memory — bm25-ranked recall + LLM-summarized session digests, every snippet Shield-gated.
• ✏️ Diff-view edits with approval gates — apply_diff produces 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 --json for CI.

🆚 Lyrie vs the field

Live GitHub stars as of 2026-04-27.

vs autonomous-agent platforms

Lyrie is a 30K-LOC, MIT-licensed, Shield-native autonomous agent. Competitors here are general-purpose agent platforms:

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.

vs AI-pentest agents

Lyrie also competes head-to-head with the AI-pentest crowd. Here we trade ecosystem maturity for depth + Shield Doctrine + reproducibility:

Capability	Strix (24.6k⭐)	PentestGPT (12.8k⭐)	RAPTOR (2.4k⭐)	CAI (8.3k⭐)	Lyrie (514⭐)
GitHub Action for PR scans	✅	❌	❌	❌	✅ + SARIF + diff-scope

License	Apache 2.0	MIT	MIT	MIT + paid	MIT
Built by	usestrix	GreyDGL	Gadi Evron	Alias Robotics	OTT Cybersecurity LLC

The headline: Strix is a sharp single-purpose pentest tool. Lyrie is a complete agent platform that includes a sharper pentest tool, a defensive Shield layer the others lack, a verified threat-intel feed, and reproducible exploit labs that prove every claim.

🚀 Lyrie Pentest Action

Drop Lyrie into any repo's CI:

name: Lyrie Pentest
on: [pull_request]

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write
  security-events: write

jobs:
  lyrie:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with: { fetch-depth: 0 }

      - uses: overthetopseo/lyrie-agent/action@v1
        with:

• Single PR comment that updates in place (no spam)
• SARIF auto-uploaded to GitHub Code Scanning (findings show as PR annotations)
• Workflow artifact with full report.md + report.json + lyrie.sarif
• Job summary rendered into the GitHub Actions step summary tab
• Non-zero exit on threshold — block merges when configured as a required check

Other CI/CD platforms? Drop-in templates for GitLab CI, Jenkins, and CircleCI live in action/templates/. Same Lyrie scan, same Shield Doctrine, same SARIF — anywhere your code builds.

💬 Where Lyrie talks to you

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

Channel	Status	Notes
Telegram	✅ production	Bot API + inline buttons + media
WhatsApp	✅ production	Business Cloud API
Discord	✅ production	Gateway v10 + buttons
Slack	✅ v0.3.2	Events API + Socket Mode + Block Kit
Matrix	✅ v0.3.2	Federated; matrix.org / Element / Synapse
Mattermost	✅ v0.3.2	Self-hosted, Slack-compatible interactives
IRC	✅ v0.3.2	RFC 2812 + IRCv3 server-time + SASL
Feishu / Lark	✅ v0.3.2	飞书 mainland + Lark international from one adapter
Rocket.Chat	✅ v0.3.2	Self-hosted, EU/LATAM enterprise default
WebChat	✅ v0.3.2	The widget Lyrie owns end-to-end (lyrie.ai)
Signal	🔭 roadmap

Every channel implements the same ChannelBot contract — unified UnifiedMessage in, unified UnifiedResponse out. Same Shield Doctrine, same DM-pairing policy, same engine.

☁️ Where Lyrie runs

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 — host

Inspect 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 check

Deployment 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.

🛡️ The Shield Doctrine

Every Lyrie surface that touches untrusted text passes a Shield gate. No exceptions, no carve-outs.

Surface	Hook	Status
Channel inbound (DMs)	evaluateDmPolicy (router)	✅
Pairing greeting	DmPairingManager.greet → scanInbound	✅
Memory recall	searchAcrossSessions → scanRecalled	✅
MCP tool results	McpRegistry.shieldFilter	✅
Tool output (untrustedOutput=true)	ToolExecutor.shieldFilterOutput	✅
Skill output	SkillManager.shieldFilter	✅
Diff-view applied edits	EditEngine.plan → scanRecalled	✅
Attack-surface evidence	buildAttackSurface → sanitizeEvidence	✅
Pentest scan target input	runner.ts → scanInbound	✅

Lyrie OSS-Scan — free public scan

Any public repo, one command:

bun run scan https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>

Lyrie clones the repo (--depth 1), runs the Attack-Surface Mapper, all eight Multi-Language Scanners, then Stages A–F Validator — returns the confirmed findings with auto-PoCs and Lyrie remediation summaries. Allowlisted hosts: github.com, gitlab.com, bitbucket.org, codeberg.org. Loopback / private addresses refused at the URL gate.
