Plato

Plato is a tool created to make coding agents safer to use. It helps manage and check the skills that these agents use, making sure they are secure before they are used. This means agents will only use skills that have been approved and verified.

Benefits

Plato helps protect your coding agents from using bad or harmful skills. It ensures that any skill installed is checked and verified before the agent can use it. This creates a secure path for skills, so agents only access what the local project has specifically allowed. It also leaves your original agent programs untouched.

Use Cases

Plato can be used when you want to add new skills to your coding agents, especially when installing them from GitHub or local files. You can install skills for agents like Codex and Claude. The process involves setting up Plato in your project, adding the skills you want, and then enabling the agent integration. For example, you can create a new project, add a specific skill like react-best-practices from a GitHub repository, enable the codex agent, and then run codex.

Vibes

Plato's design focuses on security by creating a local trust system. When you first install a skill or set up Plato, it creates a secure root for your project. Every skill bundle gets a unique signature that is checked before the agent can use it. It also offers the option to keep your skill data private by encrypting it. This means agents run from a secure space managed by Plato.

Additional Information

Plato v1 currently focuses on a local trust system and works with skills from GitHub and local sources. It integrates with agents like Codex and Claude. Future plans may include stronger security measures, support for more types of agents, and better ways to approve skills.
