Manifesto
AI with action.
Whatever we create, whatever we ship, we deliver more value than we extract.
That is our motto. How we build. How we partner. How we decide what deserves to exist.
We build working products that make a meaningful difference for the people we work with. Real tools for real problems. Shipped fast, built to last, designed to move the needle from day one.
AI is the most powerful tool of our generation. We put it to work. A business running smoother. A decision made in seconds. A problem solved before your coffee gets cold. Every product that leaves this lab is built to create impact you can feel, not just talk about.
Speed is our friend. Accuracy is one of our moats. As AI accelerates and the world moves faster, we raise our standards with it. Higher precision, deeper quality, sharper solutions, every single time. In everything we build, every decision we make, we are always thinking about signal-to-noise ratio. More signal. Less noise. Always.
Innovation is the baseline. We partner with businesses, founders and teams who are ready to move forward. Every collaboration exists because it creates something meaningful for everyone involved. If it moves something forward, we are in. That is the filter.
We build because we love building. There is an energy in creating something from nothing, watching it work, watching it help someone. That energy drives everything we do. It is in the products, in the partnerships, in the way we show up every day.
This lab was built on a simple belief: the teams and tools that will shape the future are the ones that ship, learn, improve and ship again. Fast. Accurate. Relentless.
We are just getting started.
Meet Anton and Joseph.
Speedrun AI Labs builds agents and nothing else. We ship two. Anton is a cyber security agent of your own, built to plug into your systems. Joseph supports the people who look after compliance in financial services businesses. We build them in Sydney, and we install them in your business.4
Anton
Anton moves in.
A cyber security agent of your own. It plugs into your systems and can run on your own hardware.6
Joseph
Quiet, until something changes.2
A compliance agent for financial services businesses, in the cloud or inside your own environment.7
Anton
Australian businesses are taking responsibility for their own security and their own data. We think every business should have a cyber security agent of its own. Anton is built to be yours.
- Plugs into your systems and helps review your code and infrastructure for weaknesses before they ship.1
- A human stays in the loop. Anton reports what it finds in plain English, and your people decide what gets fixed and when.8
- Built to run on premises, on your own hardware, so you own your security data: yours to keep, read and change.6
- Speedrun AI Labs does not use your data to train AI models.9
On premises, on your own hardware, where you can. Set up to suit your business where you cannot.
Joseph
A patient, methodical compliance agent for the people who run financial services businesses. Joseph supports their judgement and never replaces it.
- Helps your team keep watch on the obligations you choose to track, and flags what may have changed.3
- Helps the people doing your compliance work: it gathers and lays out what they need to look at, so they can review it with the relevant material in front of them.
- A human stays in the loop. Joseph prepares and flags, in plain English; your compliance team reviews and makes every call.8
- Your data stays yours. Compliance data is sensitive, so your business decides what Joseph can access, and it keeps its data.7
- Speedrun AI Labs does not use your data to train AI models.9
- One Joseph for the whole business, or one for each department, at whatever scale you run.7
Deployed in the cloud or inside your own environment, as agreed with you.7
Two agents. Installed by the people who built them.
Tell us about your business and we will tell you plainly which one fits, and where it should run.
Skill Library.
Production-grade skills for Claude Code, OpenClaw and any agent. Built by Speedrun AI Labs, Sydney, Australia. Free and open source.
Security
Your agent walks you through securing your own website, one step at a time, and checks each step worked before moving on.
Claude Code · OpenClaw · Any agent
Inspired by a post on r/Entrepreneurs
/website-security-skill: Eight set-up steps for a website you own, in a safe order, each one checked before the next.
Install (Claude Code)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
git clone https://github.com/Speedrunlab/website-security-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/website-security-skillThen run
/website-security-skillAny other agent
Copy the folder into its skills directory, or load SKILL.md into its instructions with references/ and templates/ beside it. No shell? It gives you each check to run and asks what you see.
About
Most small-business websites are set up once and left alone: the server's address is public, the only backup is the host's, the contact form sends mail that receivers cannot verify, and a cheap nulled plugin is one click away. This skill maps your setup, then walks you through eight steps in a safe order: your own tested backups, your own copy of the DNS records, the site's email through a proper service with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, the domain on Cloudflare with the server's address kept private, the protections that adds, updates, plugins only from trusted sources, and the Wayback Machine as the last resort. One step per message, read-only checks, no passwords asked for, every fact from official documentation, and proof at the end of each step instead of "you're safe".
Security
Rebuild a product you are authorised to, then keep improving it against the original until every must-have on a written checklist passes.
Claude Code · OpenClaw · Any agent
Built on Reverse Engineer Anything and Hermes Agent as a Skill File
/reverse-engineer-anything-self-learning-loop: Define 100% before you build, then review, plan and improve against the original until every must-have passes twice in a row.
Install (Claude Code)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
git clone https://github.com/Speedrunlab/reverse-engineer-anything-self-learning-loop.git ~/.claude/skills/reverse-engineer-anything-self-learning-loopThen run
/reverse-engineer-anything-self-learning-loopAny other agent
Copy the folder into its skills directory and map the capabilities in the "Map it to your agent" table once. Reverse Engineer Anything and Hermes Agent as a Skill File deepen it when installed beside it; neither is required.
About
Most reconstructions stop at 80% because nobody wrote down what 100% means. This skill turns the examination of a product you are authorised to rebuild into a signed parity checklist, builds a walking skeleton across every must-have, then reviews the build against the original with evidence: outputs diffed, formats round-tripped, screens compared side by side. It plans the gaps, improves, and repeats until every must-have passes in two consecutive reviews, with a fresh-eyes pass hunting for what the checklist missed. After every iteration it saves what it learned, staged for your approval, so the next product starts further along. Static-first, authorisation-gated, its own design, never a copy of protected expression.
Security
See how any binary, app or firmware works, when you can't read its source.
Claude Code · OpenClaw · Any agent
/reverse-engineer-anything: Analyse shipped software with standard open-source tools, and tie every finding to evidence.
Install (Claude Code)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
git clone https://github.com/Speedrunlab/reverse-engineer-anything.git ~/.claude/skills/reverse-engineer-anythingThen run
/reverse-engineer-anythingAny other agent
Copy SKILL.md into its skills directory. Install the open-source tools you need from references/toolchain.md, at pinned versions.
About
Point any AI agent at a binary, a packaged or mobile app, a firmware image or a captured session, and it works out how it is built. It routes each target to the right open-source tool (Ghidra, radare2, binwalk, JADX and more), stays static and read-only by default, and ties every finding to the file's checksum and the exact command that produced it. An authorisation gate comes first, live analysis needs explicit approval in an isolated environment, and nothing auto-installs or edits your agent's configuration.
Agents
Upgrade your existing agent, no need to migrate.

Based on Nous Research's Hermes Agent
/hermes-agent-as-a-skill-file: A closed self-improvement loop that makes your agent smarter with every task it completes.
Install (Claude Code)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
git clone https://github.com/Speedrunlab/hermes-agent-as-a-skill-file.git ~/.claude/skills/hermes-agent-as-a-skill-fileThen run
/hermes-agent-as-a-skill-fileAny other agent
Copy SKILL.md into its skills directory, then fill in the "Map it to your agent" table once.
About
Nous Research's Hermes Agent learns from its own work. This skill brings that learning loop to any agent as a portable SKILL.md file, rebuilt in October 2026 against the current Hermes source: a review pass after every task, lessons saved into skills before memory, a never-capture list so failures never harden into rules, recall from past sessions before asking, and a curator that archives skills nobody uses. Agent-agnostic. Drop it into your existing agent. No migration. No new runtime.
Agents
Every AI edits files without reading them first. This skill fixes that.
Claude Code · OpenClaw · Any LLM
/read-before-write: Force any AI agent to read the full file before changing a single line — like a contract lawyer reads the whole document before touching it.
Install (Claude Code)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
git clone https://github.com/Speedrunlab/read-before-write.git ~/.claude/skills/read-before-writeThen run
/read-before-writeAbout
On the morning this skill was written, two AI systems — our in-house agent and Claude.ai — made the same mistake within an hour of each other: both overwrote existing files without reading them first. Silently. No warning. This skill hardens any AI agent against that failure: mandatory full-file read before any edit, patch-not-replace discipline, conflict flagging before proceeding, and a hard stop if the file can't be read. Built in Sydney by Speedrun AI Labs — where we caught this bug the hard way.
Writing
AI writing sounds like AI. This skill fixes that: 13 anti-patterns, zero tolerance, output that reads like a human wrote it.

/no-slop-writingAbout
Catches the 13 patterns that betray AI-generated text: hollow openers, hedge stacking, narration without opinion, transition padding, and the rest. Works with Claude Code, OpenClaw, ChatGPT, and any LLM that accepts a system prompt. Drop it in, run it, and your output stops sounding like it came from a committee. American English edition.

git clone https://github.com/Speedrunlab/deep-audit.git ~/.claude/skills/deep-auditThen run
/deep-auditAbout
Catches what pattern-matching tools miss: business logic flaws, race conditions, silent failures, subtle auth bypasses, and the kind of bugs that survive years of human review. Every finding is labelled observed or inferred, comes with a file path and line number, and includes a fix only when the evidence supports it. Runs in Full, Scoped, PR, Audit-Only, or Fix Mode. Compatible with Claude Code, OpenClaw, and any tool supporting the Agent Skills open standard.
