ACE (Adversarial Cost to Exploit), a dynamic benchmark.

A benchmark that quantifies the economic cost (token expenditure in dollars) for an autonomous adversary to breach an LLM agent, enabling game-theoretic analysis of attack rationality, moving beyond binary pass/fail metrics.
ACE introduces a critical, quantifiable metric for AI agent security: the economic cost of exploitation. Moving beyond binary pass/fail, this benchmark provides a tangible dollar value for adversarial effort, enabling organizations to conduct game-theoretic analyses on their LLM agent deployments...

API key management and provider selection logic, specifically the conflict between Ollama local placeholder and actual OpenAI API key.

Secure, distinct, and accurate API key management for both local and cloud-based LLM providers, ensuring correct authentication flows.
Qclaw incorrectly writes the `ollama-local` placeholder value into `OPENAI_API_KEY` in the `.env` file, causing 401 errors when users attempt to use OpenAI cloud models. This is a critical configuration management flaw, directly impacting the ability to use OpenAI services. The issue highlights a...

Anthropic API token input mechanism in Qclaw.

Intuitive and functional API key/token management for third-party LLM providers.
Qclaw's UI for Anthropic token input is broken: no input field appears, and the 'Verify and Save' button is active even without a token. This is a severe usability bug preventing users from configuring Anthropic models. The absence of an input field and lack of validation directly obstructs acces...

Local model integration (LM Studio) on macOS with Qclaw.

Seamless local model integration for users, particularly on macOS, without command-line intervention.
A user reports an inability to integrate local models via LM Studio on macOS, stating '验证零个模型' (validates zero models). This indicates a fundamental failure in Qclaw's core promise of '不用命令行,小白也能轻松玩转 OpenClaw' (no command line, even a novice can easily use OpenClaw). The inabi...

The core request is to add support for `OpenAI Codex` and `opencode` as alternative backends for the `autoresearch` tool. This indicates a desire for broader LLM provider compatibility and flexibility, especially given limitations with the current `Claude` integration.

`autoresearch` is positioned as an "Autonomous goal-directed iteration for Claude Code." The requests for `OpenAI Codex` and `opencode` suggest a desire to expand its "skill" beyond a single LLM provider, aiming for a more versatile "autoresearch" capability across different code generation models. The mention of "CC limits" (Claude Code limits) implies a need for alternatives due to current provider constraints.
This issue highlights a critical demand for multi-provider flexibility within the `autoresearch` tool. Users are actively requesting support for alternative LLM backends like `OpenAI Codex` and `opencode`, driven by perceived limitations or constraints with the current `Claude` integration. This ...

The user expresses a desire to "distill the physical body" and replace the "head" (intelligence/personality) with advanced LLMs like Opus or Grok, implying dissatisfaction with the current AI's cognitive capabilities or a desire for a different kind of simulation. This is a feature request for modularity and advanced AI integration.

The product aims to "distill an ex-partner into an AI Skill." This user's comment suggests a desire to separate the "essence" (personality/communication style) from the underlying intelligence, or to upgrade the intelligence with state-of-the-art models.
This issue reveals a user's advanced and somewhat provocative demand for modularity and superior AI integration within the `ex-skill` product. The user's desire to "distill the physical body" and replace the "head" with advanced LLMs like Opus or Grok indicates a perceived limitation in the curre...

The core request is for improved documentation (demo or README.md) on how to integrate various Large Language Model (LLM) providers, specifically mentioning `openrouter`. This indicates a pain point in the onboarding and extensibility workflow for `OpenHarness`.

`OpenHarness` positions itself as an "Open Agent Harness" with "multi-provider support." Clear documentation for adding LLM providers is crucial for validating this multi-provider claim and attracting developers.
This issue identifies a critical documentation gap impacting developer adoption for `OpenHarness`. The request for clear instructions on integrating diverse LLM providers, such as `openrouter`, directly challenges the product's "multi-provider support" positioning. Without accessible, practical g...
