Plugin Architecture

HackMyAgent uses a modular plugin system built on @opena2a/plugin-core. Each plugin implements scan() to detect issues and fix() to remediate them.

Packages

Package	npm	Description
`@opena2a/plugin-core`	—	Plugin interface, registry, shared types
`@opena2a/aim-core`	—	Ed25519 identity, audit logging, capability policy, trust scoring
`@opena2a/credvault-openclaw`	—	Credential scanning (10 patterns), env var replacement, AES-256-GCM store
`@opena2a/signcrypt-openclaw`	—	Ed25519 file signing, SHA-256 hash pinning, signature verification
`@opena2a/skillguard-openclaw`	—	Permission pinning, tamper detection, dangerous pattern scanning

Writing a Plugin

import type {
  OpenA2APlugin,
  PluginMetadata,
  PluginStatus,
  Finding,
  Remediation,
  FixOptions,
  PluginInitOptions,
} from '@opena2a/plugin-core';

export const metadata: PluginMetadata = {
  packageName: '@my-org/my-plugin',
  displayName: 'My Plugin',
  description: 'Detects and fixes X',
  version: '1.0.0',
  findings: ['MY-001', 'MY-002'],
  scoreImprovement: 10,
};

export class MyPlugin implements OpenA2APlugin {
  readonly metadata = metadata;

  async init(options?: PluginInitOptions): Promise<void> {
    // Access AIM Core for identity-aware audit logging:
    // const aimCore = options?.aimCore;
  }

  async scan(agentDir: string): Promise<Finding[]> {
    // Scan the agent directory and return findings
    return [
      {
        id: 'MY-001',
        title: 'Insecure widget detected',
        description: 'Widget at config.json line 12 uses plaintext.',
        severity: 'high',        // critical | high | medium | low
        filePath: 'config.json',
        line: 12,
        autoFixable: true,
      },
    ];
  }

  async fix(agentDir: string, options?: FixOptions): Promise<Remediation[]> {
    if (options?.dryRun) {
      // Return what would be fixed without modifying files
      return [{ findingId: 'MY-001', description: 'Would encrypt widget', filesModified: ['config.json'], rollbackAvailable: false }];
    }

    // Apply fixes and return what was changed
    return [{ findingId: 'MY-001', description: 'Encrypted widget', filesModified: ['config.json'], rollbackAvailable: false }];
  }

  async status(): Promise<PluginStatus> {
    return { name: metadata.displayName, version: metadata.version, active: true, findingsCount: 0 };
  }

  async uninstall(): Promise<void> {}
}

export function createPlugin(): MyPlugin {
  return new MyPlugin();
}

Register the plugin in @opena2a/plugin-core:

import { registerPlugin } from '@opena2a/plugin-core';
import { createPlugin, metadata } from '@my-org/my-plugin';

registerPlugin({
  metadata,
  create: createPlugin,
});

Trust Score

AIM Core provides an 8-factor weighted trust score (0.0 to 1.0) for each agent:

Factor	Weight	What it measures
`identity`	0.20	Ed25519 keypair exists and is valid
`capabilities`	0.15	Capabilities declared and pinned
`secretsManaged`	0.15	No hardcoded credentials
`auditLog`	0.10	Audit trail active
`configSigned`	0.10	Configuration integrity verified
`skillsVerified`	0.10	Skills cryptographically signed
`networkControlled`	0.10	Network access restricted
`heartbeatMonitored`	0.10	Heartbeat monitoring active

Use --with-aim in fix-all to generate trust scores.
