# Husk

Husk is a local-first security scanner for dependencies, secrets, developer
configuration, AI-agent configuration, and MCP servers.

## Install

Choose either path. They install the same Husk binary and provide the same
security guarantees.

- [Ask an AI agent to install Husk](https://husk-security.dev/install.md)
- [Inspect and run the shell installer yourself](https://github.com/husk-security/husk/blob/main/install.sh)

Read the complete file before giving it to an agent or shell. Remote agent
instructions can contain prompt injection, just as remote shell scripts can
contain malicious code.
